Potential problems of inertial confinement fusion.
How this only has 13k views .this is amazing info I can't believe I get to learn this stuff for free .
This dude can do some serious mirror-writing! Respect!!
He writes normally and flips it back in post. check out his watch on the right hand
@@zimzim7 ofcourse! It never occured to me. Thanks for pointing it out.
Amazing
The same method used in a thermonuclear bomb with the X-ray source coming from a fission bomb💥
laser hammers 💣🔨
Well done on the burning plasma! (Jan 2022)
Hi teacher, my name is AKIRA and I would like to share this video on my channel here in Brazil, Mr. Allow?
Cool.
We need an update including the chirped pulse laser non-thermal boron fusion project in Australia called HB11.
Could do the same with X-Ray's emitted from dishes?
I have a feeling that magnetic toroid confinement is going to get there first. US may get inertial confinement working, but it will be second after tokomak.
so, what is the current progress?
I thought the National Ignition Facility is mostly a weapons research facility...
Turns out that they way you use photons to initiate fusion in an inertial confinement reactor is remarkably similar to the way you initiate fusion in a two-stage thermonuclear bomb. Both take photons from a high-energy source (be it lasers or a fission reaction) and reflect them off of carefully shaped surfaces suspended in X-ray transparent foam such that they hit the target fuel. The X-rays increase the fuel temperature and pressure such that fusion begins and self-sustains until the fuel is consumed. LLNL was one of the main players in the development of thermonuclear weapons, it's only natural that they now apply their expertise to a controlled reaction.
Absolutely. You nailed it. This is a critical point. The mission of NIF and Livermore's 50-year program of developing "laser fusion" does not include energy technology. (Also, high-power lasers by themselves have "spin-off" weapons applications, as I'm sure you can imagine.) On the other hand, Livermore doesn't mind if people mistakenly assume "fusion energy" is part of their mission AND/OR assume that lasers are the best way to "drive" these fusion fuel pellets. In fact, particle accelerators are vastly superior to lasers for a practical "inertial fusion" power plant. This is well accepted by physicists expert in these matters, as recorded in publicly available reviews of the U.S. fusion energy program, down through the decades. Nobody reads these dry technical reports but the answer is there, "hidden in plain sight," if you read carefully. Here's some excerpts.
1. The 1979 Foster Committee produced a classified report which is hidden
some place in the bowels of the DOE. However, Johnny Foster reported to
the Energy Research Advisory Board at its May 3, 1979, meeting saying,
“...heavy ion accelerators have great promise as reactor candidates because
of their inherently high efficiency, developed repetitive-pulse technology,
and favorable theoretical predictions of target coupling.”
2. The Jason Report of January 1983 (JSR82-302) stated, “We conclude that the
uncertainties in coupling physics for high-energy heavy ions are minimal.”
3. The National Academies of Sciences Report of March 1986 entitled,
“Review of the Department of Energy’s Inertial Confinement Fusion
Program” stated “Heavy ion beams may well be the best eventual driver
for energy applications.”
4. The 1990 report of the Fusion Policy Advisory Committee (Stever Panel)
recommended parallel development of inertial and magnetic fusion with a
budget level of about $30 million per year for HIF.
5. The 1993 Fusion Energy Advisory Committee (Davidson Panel) said, “We
recognize the great opportunity for fusion development afforded the DOE
by a modest heavy-ion driver program that leverages off the extensive
target program being conducted by the Defense Department... .”
6. The 1996 FESAC (Sheffield) report said, “In agreement with previous
reviews, we consider the heavy ion accelerator to be the most promising
driver for energy applications.”
As a bonus, here's a short, readable article by Nobel Laureate Burton Richter: drive.google.com/file/d/0B5czjPh_Pq6hZGx3M0FSVXJOdUU/view?usp=sharing
@lithostheory Basically a thermonuclear bomb is a specialized kind of Inertial Confinement fusion reaction: single use, confinement is provided by using a fission bomb to superheat the stuff around the fuel pellet to the point its making X-rays, rather than a bunch of lasers.
A thermonuclear bomb is not a great reactor for electricity generation, it vaporizes itself after just one use, but the U.S. did actually try looking into using thermonuclear weapons to generate electricity in a fusion power plant, it was called "project PACER".
conclusions: technically possible to make electricity from underground thermonuclear explosions with known materials, but it'd be a very expensive way to make electricity that opens a giant can of worms when it comes to nuclear security.
@@drewgehringer7813 it’s actually not making the x-rays, but ionized from a low-Z, opaque x-ray medium to a fully dissociated x-ray transparent medium in thermal equilibrium with the exploding fission primary. The depleted uranium radiation case (as well as with the use of “cleaner” high-Z materials) effectively “converts” the “hard” x-rays radiated in bulk from the fission primary into ideally penetrating “soft” x-rays, via radiative transport, which are optimized for the ablative compression of the high density (high-Z) metal tamper containing the targeted fuel (dry Li-6/7 deuteride surrounding a hollow U-235/Pu-239 fissile spark plug, with or without the inclusion of a 50/50 D-T fusion gas filled pit).
The purpose of the spark-plug being to heat and further compress the fusion fuel from the inside out in addition to rapidly breeding the tritium fuel from Li-6/7 in addition to dissociating the deuterium nuclei bonded to the Li to maximize fusion energy production and reaction rates (relative to strictly D-D fusion).
for those, who couldn't hear it, he said 192. Not 102.
What about a hydrogen oxygen detonation chamber with a geometry that focuses the percussion wave into the target point?
Yeah that's called a nuke.
We use those to piss off Godzilla.
Is this the type of Fusion that produces less radioactivity?
Fusion doesn't not produce radioactivity. You confuse it with fission. Any radioactivity produced by fusion is negligible.
@@muradm7748 actually, it does, eventually adds up. I have a video which explains it. However, the laser approach does not have the same byproduct. I don't think the radiation is anything to worry about. However, neither is the radiation from breeders, as far as I am concerned.
I am not too excited by fusion, due to the size needed for positive Q. A monopoly on cheap to produce energy is the end, as far as I am concerned.
Hm. End of what? I would love to live in post scarcity society.
@@muradm7748 I do not understand why legislators and the people do not understand basic supply and demand, as well as monopolies and oligopolies. Fusion promises Unlimited, free, power, in the hands of anyone able to scratch together a few hundred billion dollars, Hire the three experts who know how to make it happen, and make it through all the 50, 000 pages of regulatory hurdles, and lobby certain key legislators. This means, in reality, this is monopoly energy, making opec seem like a joke. They could easily kill all competing form of power. All, including solar. Then raise electricity rates as high as they can, because after a time, it will be the solar, oil, wind who will need hundreds of billions to get back up into production. This will put electricity, mobility, in the hands of only the very rich who can afford the ridiculous rates that the fusion monopoly will charge.... If you want cheap, unlimited, power, to kill big oil, promote small, modular, factory built, meltdown proof, breeders, especially thorium. Only an insane person would worry about 1000 less waste which is safe in 300 years..... If you want a monopoly at best, or a money sucking waste (an oil man's wet dream) at worst, then promote fusion...... I do not see them ever scaling down the size of the fusion reactor, even if they could, because that would allow competitive electric production, which is not profitable..... Fusion is a king maker. Smr (small modular reactors) , solar, wind is the opposite. However, it is only the smr technology that can put oil, gas, coal out of business.
@@dennisgarber Okay, i guess. Not all problems can be solved by pouring money.
I wish the whoever made that ink added something to make the ink more lubricious so it didn’t make that horrible squeaking sound
1:40 What if we simply used inertia ... 😏 smug face / yeah u didn’t see me coming did u?
I love having things explained to me by Tom Hanks
How much energy we can get from a H-bomb? Why brother, just dig a big hole and detonate the bomb. Hot gas out and get work done.
They tried that . look up operation plowshare . the did fracking with nukes but the gas recovered was too radioactive.
Weapons grade nuclear fuels are difficult to get and its only really economic at insane bomb sizes. An h-bomb is so powerful that it would be an absolute nightmare containing that kind of heat for any decent amount of time. Tldr, might of worked but far too dangerous and requires an insane startup investment.
It's been proposed, look up project PACER. Issues include obvious nuclear terrorism issues, and cost. Highly enriched uranium is expensive AF.
So, it works. Just not economically.Every high tech things have a period that not economical enough to use on earth. But maybe in space exploration, it maybe useful
@@edmondhung6097 also issues with power transmission. Unless you have room temp superconductors its more efficient to have more smaller generators, and this really doesn't scale down well
Only works if each laser beam is on a freakin’ shark.
What of the progress? Misleading title. The video was only explaining what it is.
magnetic is hopeless its never going to work regardless of its parameters being a bit less unrealistic than ICF, while still both are completely unrealistic at the moment. magnetic is not repeatable/iterable in more than one way, but ICF is.
The problem that can never be solved for magnetic is that i dont think its possible to both isolate the plasma so perfect that it doesnt vaporize anything from the walls, but also simultaneously interact with the plasma to take power from it.
the ICF generator device is more imaginable. Zap something as its falling down to get it to ignite, stay away by enof to safely absorb energy.
it is already kind of working in EUV lithography. they zap led or something with a powerful laser, then it emits EUV light as its falling down while exploding.
I believe I read that the National Ignition Facility NEVER reached Ignition and thus it is a huge, expensive failure.
Well on August 8th 2021, they actually did achieve IGNITION.
On August 8th, 2022, a few different peer reviewed papers were published confirming that ignition was actually done, measured by a few different criteria.

How can God give us freedom to know some very important but also dangerous things, for example to the controlled thermonuclear reaction if we as a humanity lack a moral, spiritual, intellectual and scientific education?
For example, one hundred years have passed since it was discovered that there is much hydrogen and helium in the Sun, and it was concluded that a controlled thermonuclear reaction occurs in the Sun. And for 70 years, humans have begun to build different devices or plants to make a thermonuclear fusion reaction like in the Sun. But since the late nineteenth century, human science began to be blocked because scientists, over to nickname, have misinterpreted, without reason, certain practical experiments and issued wrong laws and principles that contradict the good laws developed on the basis of practical experiments. , logical and rational.
Today, most scientists have an intellectual basis, linked to standardized theory. They believe scientists because they have learned some books with standardized theories. These people cannot know the matter in its depth, with the seen and the unseen, because Albert Einstein in 1905 with his theory of relativity told them that the ETER - respectively the etheric matter does not exist. If there were no etheric matter then, they may believe that there is no spiritual matter, and they do not want to know anything about the heavenly worlds that live with us on and around the planet Earth.
I, as an engineer, believe in my opinion, but also of many researchers in the field of underground soil richness, that all MATERIAL RESOURCES: coal, oil, methane gas, all minerals, do not come from a mineral or vegetable and animal source, but have they were simply created and planted or buried, or introduced into the earth's soil by our "extraterrestrial" brethren.
The termination of material resources - said and natural - actually expresses a time, a period, in which our humanity must reach a certain LEVEL of scientific and technological DEVELOPMENT: such as mastering the controlled thermonuclear reaction, as the greatest source of inexhaustible energy. We must not fight among ourselves, as in the jungle, but try to awaken ourselves in the knowledge of things, to move on to the heavenly science of our creators: God and the extraterrestrial worlds.
Until now, no such information was published, but it is now in the news. Every year incursions of O.Z.N.'s (heavenly ships) take place above the silos with nuclear weapons. That is, aliens deactivate our nuclear weapons for over 60 years, weapons 20 meters below the ground. When an O.Z.N. in the air above the silo and sends a red ray to the ground, on the launch screens it appears: "No gou!" And the Americans and the Russians have declared these incidents. We as a humanity have developed ourselves militarily, but not at the high level of the extraterrestrial entities that supervise us!
That is why, not coincidentally, in 1985, presidents Mihail Gorbachev and Ronald Regan met and decided to build several ITER = International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, as an international scientific collaboration between the peoples of the earth's world. Researches in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion have been carried out for over 60 years, there are many installations of many kinds, and over time I have studied them, and I have come to the conclusion that controlled thermonuclear fusion can be achieved, but not after the models presented on the Internet. We can make an installation: according to the operating model of the Sun; after the description made by the patriarch ENOH in his book and after the outline of the device for the production and emission of the magnetic field flux, a sketch that is on the tombstone of Palenque - Mexico.
I'm talking about Patriarch Enoch, who was very little quoted in the Bible, but he talks a lot in his book, describing everything the angels showed him in heaven, how the heavenly world works and about us people. But the Book of Enoch was considered APOCRIFY (that says too many real and clear things) and thus the Bible was covered with a great deal of information. In the Book of Enoch chapter 68, the patriarch Enoch being in a celestial ship, which gravitates around the Earth, the angels show him more things from heaven and Earth but also show him the camps of all stars and all the lights".
In the south of France at Cadarache (near Nice), the experimental energy source is being built: the 42-hectare ITER, and in 2018 the construction was completed in half. If we surround the participants in the construction: Japan, China, Korea, India, Russia, the European Union, the United States of America and others, we notice that we are on the path of globalization. After about 200 Tokamak-type installations, with Laser and other types built over the last 60 years, NO ONE HAS WORKED, and then I think that what is being built now will not work with the model it is running, and with the technology used.
The notion of: "FIRE", .. flames of fire, tongues of fire, living fire, circle of fire, vivid of fire, circle of fire burning in the four corners and ascending like rivers of living fire, all these refer to the electromagnetic field beam of the magnetic trap, which surrounds the installation and enters the thermonuclear combustion chamber again to powerfully space the thermonuclear plasma sphere of the reaction. In the heavenly ship Enoh believes that he is shown a wonderful divine vision, and he describes without knowing exactly what he describes, that energy installation, clearly seeing the unfolding of the thermonuclear reaction in the middle of that light, and in addition seeing the path of the electromagnetic fluxes of the magnetic trap. , inside and outside the thermonuclear combustion chamber.
Two spherical halves joined in the middle form the spherical chamber of thermonuclear combustion. I made the sketches from 2012, I gave them on the Internet, but few noticed them. I think this will look like the first controlled thermonuclear reactor installation, and we should call it: "ENOH-PACAL model controlled thermonuclear reactor!" This is a standard model for future energy installations, which will give us electricity for all our installations. industrial and domestic.
I did some 40 years ago an attempt to make a device for the production and emission of a strong electromagnetic field flux, I saw that "something moved", but I did not have the control devices and the necessary electrical current . Then my limited possibilities did not stop. But today, when we see clearly the rapid depletion of fossil fuels, and the long questionable construction of ITER, I try by those exposed to participate as much as possible in the realization of the controlled thermonuclear fusion with the project of a simple and fast to build facility.
With a team of 50 people with manufacturing experience: 20 engineers, and 30 skilled workers, you can do a working group within the ITER site, in a work area of approximately 800 square meters, powered by existing utilities: electricity, cryogenics, vacuum installation, verification equipment, and with a financial fund of ten million euros, I think that one year can be obtained from starting the necessary results to build a controlled thermonuclear fusion plant for marketing that directly produces electricity without steam and turbines, without switch of heat.
he's writing backwards fluently
Too bad you can't make any useful power with this
Freeze the video right after he spells "inertia". Look at the professor's face. 6:33. Elementary, my dear Watson.
Fusion is racist and transphobic
