They should try cold fusion instead! much easier!

[LukeL]

1. I assume this was doin in a vacuum so the question is how do you extract the energy?

2. How large was this reaction? Usually in this type of experiments we are talking very small amounts, nanograms or less.

Riefenstahl and Goebbels would be proud of news like this.

216 million degrees? F or C?

Either way, not nearly as hot as Melania Trump.

News from the most trustworthy government in the history of the world! China is going to save us all! Hail our slave masters in China! /s

[Veggie Todd]

And Sleepy 46 stops the drilling.

It also needs a certain density before you can break even . They might get it to work but practical power from fusion seems to be one of those things that is perpetually always 20 years away.

At least Gravity waves have finally been detected. It used to have the same reputation.

That’s almost as hot as Algore said the earth is.

[LeoWindhorse]

Maybe they’ll screw up fry themselves.

[jroehl]

Yes, but can it be used to illuminate a lightbulb? How about 2 lightbulbs?

From the article:

Taylor Wilson found widespread fame when he built his own nuclear reactor aged 14 in 2008.

The machine was capable of smashing atoms in a plasma core at over 500 million degrees Fahrenheit—40 times hotter than the core of the sun—in his parents' garage..

and:

Before the successes of these geniuses was David Hahn, known as the 'Radioactive Boy Scout’.

He built a nuclear reactor in his potting shed and shut down a neighbourhood of 40,000 in 1996..

[Browns Ultra Fan]

Let’s see if they get massive solar flares like the Nic Cage flick “Knowing.”

[Covenantor]

...Next aim to run at a consistent temperature for a week rather than 100 seconds.

How in hell do they plan contain that heat no matter how tiny the reaction is?

Or is this "Blind Science" wherein the researchers say, "Not my job, we're just concerned with one upping Satan and his puny Hellfire...you know, like Wuhan Labs."

what could possibly go wrong?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The PRC won’t have to use bio-warfare like they have with Covid-19 to exterminate their capitalist enemies.

They can simply incinerate their enemies with plasma cannons.Over in an instant.

[Vision]

Nuclear is not clean power, ask the Japanese.

China just broke the world with the flu, imagine the possibilities with this.

“216million°F”

Color me skeptical.

216million°F

So, how long to cook a Hot Pocket?
