There are any chances for it to work?

>> No.6040554

Doesn't matter, we can make it blow up in a spectacular way if it doesn't.

>> No.6040556

Yes, we just need to build it right. I'm looking forward to dirt-cheap energy.

>> No.6040561

I think they need to build a bigger one.

>> No.6040560

Yes, there are. We just need a lot of time and funding to get results, though.

>> No.6040562

>>6040528
There is, probably not very high though.

>> No.6040583

I think its just a matter of scaling it up
Waiting for the DEMO reactor

>> No.6040584

I don't see why it wouldn't. JET already basically broke even and ITER is significantly bigger and as everyone knows everything in engineering is better when it's bigger, heard theres some math that proves this but thats just rumors, bigger = better

In any case if it fails, it would still come really close and the next iteration or upgrade would result in permanent over production of energy.

What about ignition?

I think they need to focus on the one, but do it faster.

No. There's just not enough plasma in there to create a sustainable fusion.

>> No.6040616

The other problem with some of these types is that they don't really calculate the relative change in the matrix values for after fusion takes place, from a doping perspective. (last time I actually saw information that was citizen-available, at least.)

So when your plasma mixture becomes heavier due to the actual fusion you are doing, your energy inputs for both speed, compression and magnetic inferences will scale relative to the quantity of the change in mixture.

See ice-6, for instance. If you build a compression mold for sustaining ice-3, but find a way to convert them to the ice-6 values without being able to keep the compression stable... it's going to destabilize very, very fast. (one or two ice-6 particles won't cause much problems, but say... a 1.7% dope?)

The problem is how long you can sustain the plasma in order to start fusing the hydrogen
