Then Electric everything ? LOL
What could possibly go wrong?
This tech may actually be close to viability. My only question is how are the Climate Change Cultists going to object to it. You know they will. Why? Because the cult has nothing to do with climate. It’s goal is Marxism and the destruction of Western civilization. Period.
How much energy does it take to heat the hydrogen to 300M degrees? What is the break-even point of energy in v. energy out?
One would think that the Japanese would be particularly wary of anything involving atoms at 200 million degrees.
It’s only 50 years away now.
Without this discovery, we would have had to wait for 50 years for fusion.
“£500 million fusion device”
Wow, that is cheap. I would like to see Elon Musk make these and take over the power grid.
I guess the climate alarmists can retire now.
Is it earthquake hardened?
Because I like my tuna sandwich without radioactive isotopes.
You want Godzilla? Because that’s how you get Godzilla.
Just wait... once fusion reactors get figured out, they will start saying they cause global warming. “Water vapor is a worse green house gas than CO2!”
From this drawing it looks like they would use it simply for heat to create steam?
Same with nukes. News flash: steam power has been around for a while and has its limitations. Isn’t there some new and different way of doing what we need done? This seems like an expensive high tech solution for a simple problem- boiling water. Please tell me there is more, and that we aren’t spending $billions on making hot water. It is like freaking alchemists perpetually trying to turn lead into gold when the simple solution would be to find a use for lead that makes it more valuable than gold, or create an artificial scarcity of lead and driving the price up.
Just yesterday I was recalling a conversation I had here on EVs versus Hydrogen fueled . A person said the problem with H2 is the energy required to split water isn’t really worth the cost when comparing to traditional fuels or battery I suppose.
This could be a game changer on Hydrogen powered transportation. A much more affordable way to power electrolysis could be fusion. Then modify existing gasoline infrastructure to use H2.
Just 30 years away.
Just here for the Godzilla references…
The Laws of Thermodynamics will always win. You can’t get more out than you put in.
Period.
L
Two laws have held up pretty well over the last few decades,
Moore’s Law for processor power increases,
Zeno’s Paradox regarding the arrival of practical fusion power.
“has come a step closer”
While we have no idea how many ‘steps’ it’ll take...
