I was born in 1971 and never thought i would see fusion in my lifetime.
Now i am hopeful that i will by 2025
Good job
Great Series. Thanks for keeping us up to date 😀
Thanks you for these updates!!
Another Awesome episode! Upward and onward with Fusion!! Looking forward to a world primarily run on fusion power.
I love this lady's taste in jewelry. Also some great stories as well!
I never tasted jewelry before.
Same!
Odd that Tokamak Energy don't get a mention too in the piece on REBCO tapes. They've done a lot of the core work too (before CFS got going if I understand the timeline right).
Congrats Leigh Ann, and all the best ☺
Iter currency! never thought of that but it must very complicated to track it all
I knew about Oxford, London was a surprise though.
Thank you!
Thank you as always.
May I mention that the bright animated background is distracting bordering on the epilepsy-inducing? How about stopping the animation?
No! Just close your eyes.
The trouble with ITER is that if anyone though about cancelling it, just figure out how much it would cost to cancel the contracts on industries across the seven partners. Of course it's unstoppable. The question is how to make it work with the least possible delay and overbudget. It's always stated as a joke that the estimated cost of megaprojects should be multiplied by π. In the case of ITER it looks more like π^3.
Cost/Schedule reminds me of (JWST)^π . . . Back in early-1990's when JWST (then NGST) was just a gleam in bureaucrats eyes ! 😆
gotta remember that ITER isn't about profit. the practical experience we gain from trying and failing to build it is probably far more valuable than the price tag would suggest
mmm Interesting. A tiny fusion reactor may be made with a tesla coil ($3.0) and deuterium ampule to fit inside the winding ($40)!! We need a suitable venue to test..... Dr Chris.
All DT fusion work should be put on hold until it is established how to isotopically enrich the ten tonnes+ of lithium to increase the lithium 6 content. It seems the use of enriched lithium will be essential to ensure sufficient tritium breeding.
it was, we figured it out.
Love those earrings, looks like the work of Rachael Ray in Kahului?
Rachel Ray is cute.
"Sumimoto" hh. Otherwise, great vid.
Thank you! What is your PhD in?
Is the density requirement for a controlled, sustained, nuclear fusion reaction a limiting factor in the quantity of Deuterium fuel used???
yes, the density is a very important parameter, but the availability of deuterium (which I think you're asking about) is not. one liter of deuterium is worth about 13 dollars. there's a lot of it - mostly as byproducts from the oil industry.
@@caneintel If the density requirement is a limiting factor, then the availability of Deuterium is *IRRELEVANT.* Also, it is not just Deuterium alone that is required but a mixture of Deuterium and Tritrium for there to be a successful fusion reaction at the densities achieved *SO FAR.* Again, the quantity of Deuterium is *IRRELEVANT.*
@@dunexapa1016 you seem angry but I didn't understand what point you're trying to make. Who claimed availability was a problem? I explicitly told you it was not
@@caneintel , Let me know when you can answer my question correctly.
I have a question!!!
5:11 . . . Pseudo-currency "ITER Units of Account" => IOU's 🤣
LOL
Tokamak-based fusion power will never be financially viable relative to renewables.
vocal fry is strong with this one
