One Tokamak over the line......
Fusion Ping!...............
I am sure it is just a “decade away.”
And ten years from now it still will be.
How many unfiltered coal fired power plants did they build to power this ? LOl
I believe that the University of Texas at Austin had the 3rd Tokamak in the world in the 1970’s. I was there and it was under the Physics bldg. Never blew up anything, either, in answer to the anti nukes!
The great thing about a fusion reactor is that it can’t blow up, it simply ceases to operate, if anything goes wrong...........
Swell, just what a supposedly “critically warming planet needs”, another sun!
Investors wanted.
Skeptical? Perhaps, but yesterday's Forbes article was "Private Sector Advances Nuclear Fusion With AI – New Plant To Open Soon"
The author -- John Werner -- Contributor (Forbes)
I am an MIT Senior Fellow, 5x-founder & VC investing
Looking slightly deeper, it turns out that 5-x is a firm to advise YOU where to invest YOUR money.
If I had proprietary knowledge and copyright/patent control over functional plasma toroid technology that worked and provided a steady stream of "energy out" from less "energy in," I'd own the world. And I wouldn't be selling shares....
The Chinese Academy of Science and the Forbes' folk want YOU and YOUR money. Clearly they want VENTURE capital, and that seems what these articles are ultimately about.
containing plasma for 182M degrees Fahrenheit for 17 minutes!
Another baby step.
That’s what they told us at UT. I was never worried. But think about it. That was fifty years ago. We would have gotten much further along if the greenies hadn’t stopped us. The reason I responded was to make the point that the Chinese did not invent the technology. I was there when some nutjob at Texas A&M claimed to have a sustained reaction for as long as he wanted. He lied.
Follow the science.............AND THE MONEY!..............
Exactly. Thanks for making this detail known.
It seems an impressive achievement to me.
What are they doing different?

Not hiring DEI people..............
This achievement, reached on January 20, marks a major step forward
Too slow. Real Moon Trumps fake Chinese Sun...
DC on January 19th:
Red Moon on the eve of the Inauguration. In various cultures, a red moon has been interpreted as an omen. In ancient Mesopotamia, it was seen as a "threat to the king's life".
The 1,066-second milestone represents a significant leap in fusion research.
That's because
1066 is truly when people began to swear.
Mr. Fusion is real! How many people know that
"Mr. Fusion was based from a Krups coffee grinder..."
Specifically,
"The Krups Coffee grinder model number 223A, marketed under the name Coffina..."
Being a case of literal fusion:
"The Mr. Fusion was constructed by mounting a Krups Coffina grinder on top of a custom-made base made from the outer shell of a Singer magnetic disc memory core..."

Yeah, I know what y'all are thinking...
that it's well past time for ol' Ezekiel to switch over to
decoffinated.
(It's a grave situation.)
Model 223A:
In essence, the ∺ symbol serves as an elegant notation for representing geometric proportions. While it might not be as commonly encountered as some other mathematical symbols, it offers a concise way to show a key relationship in sequences and series. When you come across it, you now know that it hints at a consistent ratio being maintained across terms.
