Starchild Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Afternoon all, I was looking for some feedback. After reading an article in a quarterly Project Management magazine about the research currently ongoing into Fusion Energy and the 2 main projects in the UK (Totmak?) and France (ITER). I wondered, as per nuclear fission and all the secrecy that was involved in the production of the bomb, is there a potential that the same thing could happen again except with something, if you believe what is written, 10x hotter than the core of the sun? I saw a previous thread on here and didn't contribute to that as it looked like it descended into chaos. But this is a legitimate question. Thanks all...

gregory-peccary Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Already been done 50 years ago! Known as the Hydrogen Bomb, they are fusion weapons. Making a big loud bang is easy, controlling it to get power out is not. I am fairly certain if anybody wanted a working fusion reactor it would have been done 40 years ago. Somebody doesn't want it done IMHO. And it is called a Tokamak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rideforever Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Lockheed in the US has been researching fusion for a long time and was planning on making small transportable military fusion reactors, and there is a z-pinch machine at Lawrence Livermore Lab ... from memory. Those Donut machines are pretty old shit imo ... it is questionable if they are going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
