This is all Dr octavius wanted and y'all wanted to stop him. "Power of the sun, in the palm of my hands".......may his soul rest in peace
-
Best narrator ever! Can we keep him? All the best of course to Henrik, get well soon!!
-
I think I've got it gentleman. Write this down: .......more peppercorns. 👀
-
Seems like they need a better heat delivery system
-
Tritium is really really hard to get and the worldwide stockpile of Tritium is measured in kilos. At the moment the lack of production capacity will make a 2h+3h fusion reactor not viable.
-
So you’re saying that in all of this it creates helium which is depleting resource on the planet, so if they have this nuclear fusion, they can also harnessed the helium?
-
No we won't with the current setup. They use Tritiruim which so rare on earth. The total amount of that element on earth is only 20kg. Which this experiment will burn through if it would be upscaled. So you need to add Tritiruim production into their equation. Meaning they are back to negative outcome.
-
Can Nuclear Fusion be used to power vehicles?
-
"No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future".

Why does every video waste half the time telling us what fusion and fusion is? Total waste of time
