We'll see if anything comes of this.

“A man-made sun that could power our planet”

Words from Dr. Octopus in Spiderman 2.

Would that not add to Gobal Warming...Climate Change?

What does that Greta chick has to say about this plan?

At 15 million degrees I guess this isn’t cold fusion.

[LastDayz]

Sounds like an uncontrolled burn if it gets loose.

[dfwgator]

What could possibly go wrong?

[Texas Fossil]

Is this out of the 1956 Popular Science Magazine?

Headshake.

It would probably be more productive to work on our ability to harness and store the power of the real Sun.

#1..My eye saw “Tokamak”; the company that will be developing this system.
But my brain said Tomohawk.
I must have had that baseball team on my mind.

#2..This system sounds as enormously dangerous as it is powerful.
I hope this company is designing several Fool Proof methods to quickly turn this OFF if need be.

I get tired of scientists messing around playing God. Who needs another giant ball of fire we have one of those already.

> He insists that the company is on track to deliver the world’s first commercial nuclear fusion power plants by the late 2030s.

Well at least he didn’t say “in only 10 years”.

And for the monthly “cold fusion” is just around the corner, we have: ......

They have yet to get more energy out of it than it took to fire it up. Long way to go.

This is what will end fossil fuel use. I can envision toaster size units powering homes for a hundred or maybe a thousand years or a phone booth sized one also powering a neighborhood that long and with advances in battery technology all the cars could also be charged. Might even make these to power cars (that fly?) using tech we can’t imagine today.

The cool thing is they are completely safe. If the fusion reaction doesn’t occur it just goes cold and stops working. No risk of blowing up or spreading radiation like current nuclear energy plants.

Figure with infrastructure install; most of the world could be fitted within 30-50 years. Kids today will see it but anyone over 50 probably won’t unless it gets developed and installed much faster. Still; it is something to cheer about.

Where will they get the energy to power the immensely powerful electromagnets that keep the vessel from blowing up?

[Dr. Sivana]

And the good news is that Tokamak, a British company, is a world leader in the race

So the secret has been residing at "Steak 'n' Shake" all these years??

[BiteYourSelf]

Will they call it the Tera?😏

Paging Mary shelly.

And what happens when reactor contentment fails at 100,000,000 C? They better build it in the “stick”.

A “man-made” sun . . .
