Will a Mr. Fusion ever be possible? 1.21 gigawatts out of something that small? We've got 3 years to make it happen

>> No.3797160

No chance in three years, very little chance in this century.

EV technology can make this possible, but the oil industry is suppressing it.

Is 1.6 MILLION horsepowers.
For a comparision a Saturn V, the biggest rocket ever built, ranked in at 38 million horsepowers.

It only needs to go 88mph

>>3797194
So 38 million horses strapped together by ropes could pull that particular rocket into space if they could fly?

>> No.3797222

>>3797212
If you find 38 million horses, capable of generating a standard horsepower each, that can fit in the engine space of a saturn V, then yes you might have a chance to use somekind of leverage and get into space.

Ha....fusion...let me introduce you to my little friend, zero-point energy. He is from the vacuum.

Idiot.

>> No.3798771

Fusion seems only attainable through intense control of magnetic fields in which to properly contain plasma so that it will sustain fusion within it. Making that tiny is pretty much beyond materials technology.

Anyone who tries to respond to this posting about "cold fusion" will break out into weeping green sores and DIE.
