China has created an artificial star 8,600 times hotter than the sun
Now THAT is some funny shite!
So what is the actual fuel source here? Is hydrogen the fuel or is it a byproduct of the reaction?
I have read similar stories and headlines since the early 1960s. Yes, the 102 second long plasma is an achievement, but the Chinese have not (nor has anyone else) demonstrated a path to generating large amounts of energy in a controlled fashion by the methods they are employing.
I wish the Chinese (and all the other physicists) working on controlled nuclear fusion (both hot and frigid) the best. But until we understand how to “create an artificial star” and keep it contained here on earth, I do not expect to see the headline: “Physicists Continue to Generate Energy from Experimental Fusion Plant” with the first line reading, “Physicists at Energy for All have been generating began operating a power plant in the desert of the American Southwest seven days ago. They are have been generating 100 Megawatts of power continuously since then.
nearer to replacing depleting fossil fuels... Far from depleted. Not even sure if it’s from fossils as to the amount found and used since it’s discovery. Makes me think it’s something the earth produces almost naturally:-)
What could possibly go wrong? Talk about your global warming.
8,600 TIMES HOTTER THAN THE SUN.
ON EARTH.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.
Of course, Communist science is ahead of American. Of course.
102 seconds?
The Russians, who seemed to be the leaders in this technology, have only mastered fractions of a second.
The Chinese did this a few days after the NORKS blew up their hydrogen bomb....coincidence????, I think not.
