@@macdietz of course they’re not comparable technologies. My point is that it’s naive to make predictions about how soon we’ll have fusion power if you base your timeline on what “they’ve been saying”, for 50 years. Technological advances don’t grow linearly, so why should progress in fusion be linear?
Yes its barely enough,guys dont get ur hopes up before ITER starts to do the tests... even ITER is taking years and years to be built dont expect a small company or research group to somehow make an economic reactor.
My understanding was that the initial powering of the lasers used for the ignition created a large enough debt energy to heavily offset the generated power. Which is insane considering how much energy was generated.
They are likely funding it, and once full viability is achievable, they’ll collapse funding including from government. Then buy all the necessary Patents, and “cold storage” the progress until Smart-Grid controls provide a path to limit/control distribution…
Either that, or it just gets straight handed over by Gov to “Energy company” because of their “Track Record” of “successfully managing” a utility/national scale energy operation. (Public funding goes straight into private/corporate control, w/o requiring a “payback” of the people’s contributed tax $)
Title needs to be corrected it should not say ignition but caused a sustained by temporary reaction for a few seconds. Power was cut and the reaction sustained and output power
As someone aware of planetary heat_transfer geophysics, Steam-age power emits 2-joules of wasteheat times 1.7-aggi for greenhousing/second per watt on_the_wire.

they put in 2.05 megajoules and got out 3.15 megajoules so a net gain of 1.1 megajoules. thing is i have no clue how much power that is. how many phones can be fully charged from 0-100% on 1.1 megajoules. if i start the microwave how long till it turns off? i need a practical understanding of how much power that is. please make a video and further elaborate. how much of a net gain improvement is needed before its decided we have enough to power a house or a city. do they need to improve its output 10x or 10,000 times?
Not the first time fusion has been achieved. It's the first time slightly more energy has been generated than the energy used to produce it. See Anton Petrov's new video for explanation.
ICF is not viable as a stable baseload power. it can't be made steady state because it requires pulses and pellets and whatnot, and the lasers need a while to charge.
Let’s be realistic. They put in two and they got out three that’s a net game of 50% of your input. This breakthrough is going to compound over the next six months and massive amounts of money is going to be poured into numerous laboratories to proceed down this path for nuclear fusion. This breakthrough is tremendous and will Have an immediate impact on funding and investment. This is going to change the world a lot faster than people really realize.
In my bio-neural theoretical perception framework, there will likely need to be “resonance chamber” study, and improve the “mapping” of energy damping & cascading tipping-points. Great job for AI!
The reason it's getting ao much press is because last year China had the first ever successful fusion ignition. It's another technological race. The US is falling behind and that's why all the buzz of something the Chinese have been making progress since last year.
Okay Debbie Downer thanks for that depressing take. Meanwhile scientists are making history. It doesn’t matter how far away the practical application is, this is a monumental step forward for mankind; truly a historical moment.
The real breaktrough would be a 3D printed women (like in the 5th element movie) with a cpu instead of a brain where you would upload Joy AI (like in the bladerunner).
lol their just going to use this to boil steam so the steam can power the turbine instead of harnessing, the actual fusion energy to power our everyday appliances 😂😂😂😂😂

Finally 💀💀💀
300 MJ was used by lasers to make 2 MJ that yielded 3 MJ. Watch full press conference.
Definitely they need to work out where to get the initial energy to start the fusion.
They said net positive gain dumbass. They used 200MJ and got out 300MJ with a gain of 1.5 wth you talkin about?
Lightning to the capacitors
@@Jacob-og9pz It's alive!!
The problem is also a laser can achive in the maximum 50% efficiency and fusion maybe 80%.
I dont know how they gonna optimise this.

I don't agree with the sentiment of "if its even possible at all" We KNOW its possible, we look at it every day. We just have to figure out how.
Spoken like a true fan of pop science lol
@@macdietz the sun is literally a big fusion reaction
This is an important step on the way to clean fusion energy. Unfortunately, it's only the 3rd step on a 10-story tall staircase.
Yet still a huge step in humanity
lemme guess, all the chemicals and stuff they use to make it cost more than the extra energy it outputs
there’s a reason only few of the labs exist lmao
As always
Imagination is our most powerful attribute
I swear I heard that another lab achieved ignition a few months ago. Any else?
don't expect it within our lifetimes, they have been saying fusion is the future for 50 years

OF COURSE it's possible. They just did it, now it's just a matter of time and effort to make the process efficient and then mass produce it.
Great news! Thanks for letting us know!

This is that Doc Oc guy's experiment. I guess in our timeline he didn't need the arms.

Why are they only factoring the laser output as the total net energy input and ignoring the energy cost the lasers required to generate that output?
Fusion is combining any two elements converting mass into energy.
It's about time how long has it been 50-60 years!?
Over 70 years
@@Spencerpaulluaprecneps so it's going to be 90 years until we have viable fusion!
Prematurely to celebrate, again? Feels like I have been hearing this fusion breakthroughs for decades
That's a really big "technically" considering the test produced just under 1% of the energy put into the laser facility during the experiment.
The title is misleading.. it is the first controlled fusion putting out more energy then it took to maintain fusion.
The last image looks like the MCP from Tron. Don't let the reactor become sentient!
hey how can we get an energy gain doesnt it violate conservation of energy
They gave 2MJ to the fuel, to make it release 3MJ from its nuclei. The 3 MJ was already there, they just needed 2MJ to get it out.
I like how you are trying to explain this under a minute

with better AI help I do believe a decade or two we will have first practical fusion reactor
YAWN....Wake me up in another 30 years when the next "Breakthrough" happens.
That nuclear fusion looks like the one in the movie " angels and demons" with Tom Hanks
BTW, Angles and Demons used anti-matter so it was not fusion.
I am so hopeing for fusion to take over all of our energy grids. That would be a very bright future for humanity.
Love and kind regards to all.
So.... I take it this wont be open research and the licensing fees and royalties will be too expensive for anyone to use?
