Re: Feeling lonely sometimes

Yes, we are a nice bunch nowadays and I would gladly meet you all in real life. There are of course a few practicalities since we are spread out over half the world.... :D But as far as I can remember things have not always been that way. In the beginning, the discussion was at times nasty and bad. ...

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024

Still, it is true that there will be no long lived waste. Furthermore, there is no -Chain reaction -Residual heat load -Radioactive inventory that can cause evacuations Altogether, a very radical difference from fission. It can plausible be argued that any other form of energy production poses a big...

Re: Jäderberg future power - Swedish fusion startup

Is there any critical tech which is enabling this now? Fancy homepages and videographics to enable funding? However, the team behind this has given a few interviews with some additional information. See below. It is in swedish so the sources are of little interest to you. -Phase one is fully funded...

Re: Jäderberg future power - Swedish fusion startup

Reaching out for fusion relevant conditions in the first machine seems to be a truly bold undertaking. But the hardware is procured and the initial series of experiment funded. I guess no one hear is eager to start an argument with the Royal School of Technology to make them cancel this spectacle. S...

Re: ZAP Energy News

As things are, the ZAP approach being close to target in additional technical effort, quite a stretch longer away from target plasmawise, a bold fail fast approach is a good strategy. If it fails and there are some loose ends worthy of following up they will certainly get some funds for that also. I...

Re: ZAP Energy News

No net energy, no first wall problem. So it seems to be the right order to do it. Do you sincerely think an investor would spend substantial amounts of cash on the first wall problem merely based on physics calculations that the energy release problem is solved? And I think it is not a done deal. No...
