Thanks for taking the effort of putting this together. It's nice to stay up to date like this.

Apparently, somebody at CFS is a fan of The Cat In The Hat, as the big wooden shipping boxes with the magnets are labeled "Thing 1" and "Thing 2."

Damn, these updates look so slick. Love the updates and never miss the new release.

This is a great cycle for fusion development! Thanks for the update!

17 Tesla is incredible! Great video today, thank you!

في المستقبل البعيد وبفضل التكنولوجيا المتقدمة سوف يتساوى الخيال مع الواقع ويمتلك الإنسان قوى الآلهة ليحول الكون والأكوان المتعددة إلى جنة خالدة ❤

What happened to the "wiffal ball wb7" electricstatic confined fusion ?

[@charleskinne5850]

Jeff Peachman is a PhD student at the University of Washington not Wisconsin. If you had listened, you would have found out he work on the Zap Energy fusion program.

Morning!

[@karlhalvorson]

Thanks for the Interesting video. I’m guessing the US has allies they can trust so that it’s not just the US vs. China. Or are all countries starting to race against each other in this nuclear fusion race?

Can any one tell me how to get the heat out of the closed container, and use that heat to generate electricity ?

[@wheuler_6969]

Correction: CFS already mailed us their magnets. We achieved first plasma on WHAM on July 15, 2024, and have been operating around the clock ever since.

[@emiliaolfelt6370]

are you still whamming?

[@RonTodd-gb1eo]

For every extra billion spent on fusion how many more rich scientists to we get?
