Fusion
|
Great but Fusion energy is about 3 decades away at best...
It's a bit like driver less cars. If you believed the hype of just a few years ago they'd be here now but they're not. But when it does happen it will change everything. Imagine not worrying about energy costs or the cost to the environment ever again. The world will look entirely different when Fusion finally comes online. |

Fusion energy will be a great thing and truly change the world. Right now it still uses more energy than it produces, and it one produces for very brief periods of time. |
^^^ Agree...it will be a real game-changer...when it happens.

Ford pulled the plug on them.

My only regret is that I wont see it for myself but I believe there are people alive right now that will live beyond 200 years. A Mars landing will also happen quicker than most of us think. Let's see if the Chinese can match that when it does. ;) |
Fusion energy has been about 3 decades away since 1960
The real change is that all those guys seem to be on board for a single proposal - that's new |

I saw one report that thinks we are 10 years of from a technology to download our conciseness to a computer. Maybe then we could re-upload it to a clone of your former body, or even better, someone with George Clooney looks and the body like Dwayne Johnson. I don't think it will happen anytime soon. |

One word:
Neutrons. You need to be able to keep the neutrons IN and the energy associated with them.... |

Chirped pulse amplification in fusion reactors - another possible avenue to "break-even"
https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1511/1511.03231.pdf My hopes for molten salt or thorium fueled reactors as a practical solution to mitigate our reliance on fossil based energy are fading a little. I also hope this thought does not constitute a thread hi-jack. Cheers JB |
how about starting a thread on new fission reactor designs?

The problem with Fusion right now as I understand it is sustaining the reaction. We can get it to happen but keeping that reaction going is the big problem. |
that's more or less what he said

I remember being in college around 1990-1992.
At the time, there was a lot of press about cold fusion. In my entire life, that was the only time I ever picked up a newpaper and thought "wow, things are going to get better" was picking up a paper with the headline "fusion works" Turned out the cold fusion was a bust. I've been an ********* ever since. |
its the future...
Where's my sex bot? |
