And why would we believe more in this totally fictional shit than in the viable Swiss solar project? : Twisted:

Precisely, because it is totally fictional and we can therefore dream that it works, while the other is a big shit for sure!

Kiki, you are just a poor inconsistent stain, in bad faith, whose incompetence is matched only by pretension. And again, I am nice. : Cheesy:

In China, this nuclear reactor created an artificial sun for 17 minutes
The physicists of the HL-2M tokamak have broken a new record.


By Matthieu Balu Huffpost Dec 31, 2021

NUCLEAR FUSION - 70 million degrees Celsius for 1056 seconds: these are the breathtaking figures reached by researchers at the Chinese Center for Advanced Superconducting Experimentation (EAST) in the province of Anhui, in the east of the country. A performance to be found in the video at the top of this article.

For the tokamak, this donut-shaped magnetic confinement mechanism where particles accelerate is a new record. In May 2021, the same team had created a plasma for 101 seconds, at a temperature of 150 million degrees, much more than our sun. Crazy numbers, but necessary to reach the fusion mechanism.

Indeed, our current nuclear reactors operate by fission. We take very large atoms, like uranium, and we will break its nucleus to divide it into two smaller atoms. With the merger, it is the reverse. We are going to take two hydrogen atoms, the smallest possible, and merge them.

The objective is to manage to stabilize this mechanism, like the heart of our stars, starting with the sun, a gigantic nuclear fusion reactor. In 2021, the Chinese tokamak, also called HL-2M, will have made significant strides in the search for this gigantic ... and clean source of energy. The ITER network, based in Cadarache (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), of which the EAST is one of the satellites with 35 partner countries, will benefit from these advances but its construction will not be finished before 2025.

It's scary !

When you see what researchers have created as a monster in a P4 lab (SARS-cov-X) it really does not appeal.

The merger is progressing in the private sector
Nuclear fusion: the great acceleration
Many private companies are embarking on the race for nuclear fusion. They hope to develop commercially operable reactors within the next decade.

We've been talking about it for 1920 years and still nothing? : Cheesy:

Fortunately, "the acceleration is great" I was going to fall asleep... : Cheesy: : Twisted: : Cheesy:

We can no longer count on the States. Well done private and capitalism.
