We'll see if anything comes of this.

Curious if the electromagnetic containment field fails, what is the dissipiation rate of eleventy billion degrees? Would SPF 50 save people nearby?

You run lithium or other suitable liquid through the superconducting magnets. It hearts it up and in turn is used to convert water into steam. That steam turns steam generators that create electricity

The problem with Fusion has always been how to get more electricity out of the process than you have to put into it in order to heat the plasma and get it going.

Has been this way since the 80s and sti is now. We keep getting closer to the breaka even point but we are still net negative.

I always liked his posts but I guess they were considered “spam” - pretty mild, compared to what we’re seeing these days, IMHO.

I remember the name, but not the posts...
I was going to say it looks like kevmo (He does the LENR ping-list (I think that is like CERN)), but saw that he was posting in this thread too ;)

I don't remember anything negative about ETL, but you are right about how bad it is getting recently here. 😒
