In Tokamak/Iter we could use disc with current that flow from center to perifeeal inside a donate.
When such a disc with current flowing rotating it could generate DC current through conductor.(conductive ring around it)
This would work similarly to reilgun/Tesla dinamo generator.(first ever lab motors and generators were of this tipe)
Advantage of it is absence of inductunce for Direct Current -- which mean you could shove inside as much power
as you possibly can deliver through axis and low resistence of plasma doesn't matter (it would result in higher current and higher required torque /input ergy then)
Standard methods have a downside that primal coil have its own inductance and if you were to try to breach it forcefully
resistance and forces would become even more formidable/humongous and would and up destroying your device.
But for Dirrect current it doesn't matter , you just deliver power and thats that. (just like that)
100 million degrees temperatures wouldn't be a limit , how about delivering power so fast that temperature elevate to the
10 billion or 100 billion degree.
Earth has a circumference of 24,901 miles... 300 times would be 7,470,300 miles... if you had 8,000 gallons, that would be a car capable of 933 miles per gallon... Bad math on their end.
In just another 30 years, it will be just another 30 years away !
A creationist asked me 1 day “when you fuse 2 atoms do you use a 3 amp or 13 amp fuse?” Haha
What was the breakthrough?
First person to solve this 5 variable word problem in Fahrenheit gets $200.00 USD. Sounds easy.
This simple word problem was posted in a 5th grade Earth Science and Geology class, USA back in the year 1975.
These given values are to be used to determine the answer. Show your work.
There is a hypothetical planet with a given radius of 3,963 miles.
Drilling into the hypothetical planet's crust at the given depth of 12.5 ft. remains a constant given temperature of 55° F all year long.
Drilling into the hypothetical planet's crust at the given depth of 40,230 ft. the temperature increased to a given 356° F.
If it's around 356° F at around 7.619 miles deep then what is the temperature at a depth of 3,963 miles?
The answer is
42
@@MarcusAgrippa390 I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
156305.275, temp difference 301 (356-55) divided by (40230-12.5) .007484... is temp change per foot, 3963 times 5280 to get distance to depth in feet minus 40230 to get starting point. This is assuming the temp change is constant. If diameter is 3963 then answer is 55.
@@stephenwooten8661 How can the temperature be 55° F at 3,963 miles deep when only at 7 miles deep the temperature is much higher, 356° F? What would cause the core of the planet to be colder than 7 miles deep? I'm sorry your calculations are incorrect.
@@ronaldkemp3952 That is not what I said, the answer is 156,305.275 it is the first figure in my reply. When I said 55, I was making a joke about the difference between diameter and radius. Read it again, I was saying you would be back at the surface, if the diameter was 3963. Get it now?
I am awaiting as eager as any man the advent of the fusion era, where energy and, possibly life itself on the Earth, becomes free. But I'm pretty sure this goal will always remain 30 years away as long as only the "triumph of the science and technology" is put to this work. As long as science and technology strain to eliminate and replace the Creator's place from our lives they will not be able to uncover the Creations biggest secrets.
The Brilliant Light Power SunCell is cheap to produce.
What does the fusion make and where does it go?
Fusion makes heat, heat boils water, boiling water makes steam, steam (under pressure is very energetic) is used to turn turbines, turbines turn generators, which make electricity.
@@stephenwooten8661 I mean fusing atoms makes some other larger atom (ie hydrogen makes helium and so on). What atom is made and where does it go?
@@petesmoviemadness 2 hydrogen fuse to become Deuterium (1 proton and 1 neutron) then anther hydrogen fuse to become tritium (1 proton and 2 neutrons) then 2 tritium fuse to make helium (2 protons and 2 neutrons) and the other 2 neutrons split off, this uses 4 hydrogen atoms to make 1 helium atom, the energy comes from the difference in the weight, about .003 less but when you use E=MC2 it makes for a lot of energy.
I really hope I get to see nuclear powered rockets before I kick the bucket. They are so much more efficient than chemical rockets.
how you get to inhale the exhaust fool!
They have been saying we'll have fusion power within 20-30 years since before I was born, and I'm sixty. If fusion is a marathon, then we are still trying to figure out what shoes to wear. While the output of energy was greater than the input of the lasers, it does not allow for the fact that that was only about 3% of the total energy used to produce the test. One of the biggest problems never talked about is we have no way of refueling the reactor without shutting it down. For a comparison image you have a car with a one-ounce fuel tank, and you are driving across the country.
Your knowledge is dated. They've already achieved positive energy balance. "If man was meant to fly, he'd have wings".
@@raylopez99 Physically speaking yes, the NIF achieved a positive energy balance, though the problem with the NIFs approach of igniting a fusion reaction with lasers is the lack of continuity, as @stephenwooten8661 stated. IMO the put on the wrong pair of shoes in the first place. Thats why projects like the ITER focus on another way of confinement, called a TOKAMAK.
@@raylopez99 My knowledge is dated from after this test. They produce more energy than the lasers used, not the entire system. I am not doubting fusion power is possible, I'm saying they still have a lot of bugs to work out.
@@stephenwooten8661 That's true of any technology. They are still finding incremental improvements in turbines, which were largely perfected (more or less) in the mid 19th century, after some pioneering work by an Englishman whose name I forget.
@@iPodHDTV Both Tokomak and ICF are worth goals. Having retired from the invention business (mainly patents) it's clear to me that fusion will work. What laypeople see and what professionals see are like night and day. As a matter of fact, there's a small group of people doing cell death research that I'm not in position to talk about that may not only cure cancer (which is an immortal cell) but also potentially extend human life by 100s of years. IMO another 50 years will be enough for the beta version of this technology. What is holding back such innovation? Lack of good patent laws. Right now it makes more financial sense to "provide liquidity" (buy low, sell high) than innovate. The economist William Nordhaus estimated pioneering inventors only get 5% of the market value of their invention (and often they get zero). It doesn't pay to innovate, hence the "pessimism" that you picked up on. Google also the economists Tyler Cowen and Robert Gordon who echo your pessimism (since IMO they are not in my field).
I really like this channel. I think the topics and the voice are sexy. ❤❤❤
Evil comes in pretty packages. Always be skeptical.
How to extract usable energ from from high energy neutrons is an impossible challege. Neutrons destroy all materials with which these interact. Fusion energy is a pipe dream
Where did you get that knowledge from
they really do use bombardment of neutrons into walls to extract heat.
a US senator approves of something.. well im convinced.

The problem is you can’t make enough money off it hahaha
sure boris! can't make enough money off energy! that is genius level stuff! derp!
@@tombuilder1475 ok Bob the builder, look at this guy he’s knows everything. It’s extremely expensive as of now. Also the cost per MW is expensive. So yeah you can’t make money off of it. Sorry I forgot the word yet, you mewl.
😀
So repetitive and boring script! Unbelievable!
Hsusgsus
Schumer? This must not be science. We know who you follow, the guy that says 'trust the science'...
better than a GQP like marge taylor green saying Jewish space lasers will make fusion!
Man I need to get this fusion energy innovation to work...
For my post scarcity ambitions and end capitalistic economic system by liberate innovation from elite capitalists families hands.
Climate change is natural, Earth never had the same climate, old Roma was warmer than now.
Climate has gravitational influence of another planets, sun that change the Earth's orbit and the energy from sun.
Milankovic cycle explains.
Not only due CO2
How would it help fight climate change? If anything, the heat from all these fusion reactors, if we ever figured the technology out, would make global warming worse.
In simple terms, the heat is converted into electrical enery. None of that heat goes to the outside... And by producing fusion energy no carbon dioxide is produced.
Global warming comes from the greenhouse gases produced by burning carbon-based fuel, not the actual heat from the reactor.
wow genius level intelligence! derp!
You lost me at Chuck Schumer
Pretty sure you were lost way before that...
@jeanniemarkech351 not at all. The fact you are scrolling thru and replying to innocuous comments on a Saturday night seems like you are very lost my friend.
ITER is not even built yet so its introduction of 2007 so wrong by about 20 years. Similarly NIF has only recently 2023 had any limited success in fusion! The power needed for the laser is comparable with that for a very large city with one shot per day when ten per second are needed and so it has an enormous way to go. The power to drive the laser is so large they will never make it generate any excess power! Plus most of the fuel input is wasted and not burnt!
