Remember the " good ole days" when you dug in the beach sand,
and told others you were digging your way to China ?
Well now , China can burn their way through the center of the earth,
and come out somewhere in the South Atlantic Ocean.
At least the water is cleaner !
So, does that mean that they will stop dumping their garbage into their rivers, which dump into the Pacific and create that ball of crap swirling in the middle of the ocean?
Sooner or later, one way or another, intentionally or not, the Chinese will be the death of all of us.
They use it to heat up their bat soup.
The dude down on his hunkers in that last photo only needs his baseball cap on backwards to portray MY feelings about the article. Ten times hotter than the core of the Sun? Surrounded by flimsy stainless tubing and glass! I was born at night......
Democrats gave it to them; not necessary to steal our technology.
If China does that the water wont be clean for long.
II Peter chapter 3 comes to mind: “...the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth and all the works in it shall be burned up.....”. Except when THAT time comes, God will handle it Himself. He won’t need Xi Jinping’s help.
Not with hydrogen into helium. Other than massive amounts of heat, gamma rays and neutrinos are what’s emitted.
That in itself is theft, never mind treason.
While I addressed the Russian Tokamak approach, I preferred the laser implosion technology being studied at Lawrence Livermore.
Cut off the fuel source. Not like fission where all of the fuel is concentrated into a critical mass.
Those guys look like the are in an old Airstream.
You are conflating temperature and total energy. The Sun is not a point source, but in comparison to the Sun, this fusion reactor is. Note that most of the core of the sun is not undergoing fusion at any point in time and the energy released from the tiny percentage that is must heat up the rest, the idle rest, in order for fusion to continue. The fusion reactor the Chinese built only has to heat up a limited amount of fuel as it is fed in. All the released energy can be harvested rather than dissipated into the mass of the sun.
If they could make it last longer than tiny fractions of a second, they’d be crowing about it. If they could achieve net energy output, they’d be crowing about it.
That being said, the US should not fall behind whomever the Chinese stole this technology from.
Where’s Greta when you need her?
Its natural. Its the organic way the sun does it!
Fusion will never be practical.
Matter/Anti-Matter reactions .....................
It does not create energy but might be bright enough to make biden look brighter.
There’s not a whole lot of deuterium and tritium in the device. If it were to “leak” then the material would rapidly expand and dissipate.
