16 minutes 40 seconds. Thats huge. I wonder when they will say its stable and be able to run it for 24 hours test.

Doubtful

>>16559499
fusion produces shit tons of neutron flux
the entire reactor will become neutron activated, and all the high-quality materials will suffer neutron embrittlement
the end result is having to replace the highly radioactive core on a regular basis
i don't know how this is considered clean

>>16559509
the article only mentions maintaining the plasma for that long, not fusion.

>>16559516
Radiation concerns are söy.

>>16559523
Plasma needs to be maintained with proper thermal control. Thats what im saying, whether this is actual design goal to stop at 1000s as safety test precaution and they can scale it out to 24h by maintaining the controls.

>1,000 seconds
if the comma is a decimal delimiter that's only 1 second.

>>16559516
Wait, so is this a seemingly insurmountable flaw or is there a potential way around this?

>>16559592
there is such a thing as "aneutronic fusion" that fuses a proton with Boron-11 but it requires significantly more energy to contain the plasma

>>16559676
Doesn't that nullify any benefit to using fusion in the first place? Do you have any material on this that you can recommend?

It didn't produce any energy retarded shill. This retard shill posted this same thread on pol.

This shit will probably never produce more energy that you put into it. Also Chinese are retards and scammers.

>>16559499
sory to ruin your excitement but fusion is *üdische Physik

>>16559832
it will make energy if it runs on slave energy

>>16559682
no material is impervious to neutron activation

>>16559592
The idea is to surround the interior of fusion reactors with flowing liquid lithium to capture additional nuclear energy.
Though beyond the fact that we don't know how to do such a thing, this would also require depleting all known global lithium reserves.

>>16559499
One huge flag. Zero warning signs. I have to agree with >>16559512: Doubt.

>>16559528
That is what CCP tells the peons.

>In fusion, two light nuclei merge to form a single heavier nucleus. The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei. The leftover mass becomes energy.
>the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei
why is the mass lower?

Fusion with lighht elements and fission with heavy elements will yield energy. The divide i iron.

chatgpt said this:
In summary, the mass of the resulting nucleus is lower because it is more tightly bound and thus has a higher binding energy. The difference in mass between the initial and final nuclei is converted into energy, which is released during the fusion process.
The energy released during nuclear fusion can be in the form of photons, but it's not limited to just that.
Gamma Rays (Photons):
Kinetic Energy:
In many fusion reactions, the energy is also released as kinetic energy of the newly formed particles, such as protons or neutrons.
