@modernday_eratosthenes: It's like being the lazy one in a group project. We’re getting more than we put in #stem If you’re on Twitch I’ll be talking about this and other STEM topics every Tues and Thurs, so be sure to follow and subscribe! (link in the bio) Sources: 1. “Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three times” – CNN 2. “Fusion breakthrough is a milestone for climate, clean energy” Phys (dot org) 3. “How NIF Works” – Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Didn't it take 100x more energy just to fire the lasers?

JackTheQuila :
taking 300MJ of energy turning it into 2MJ of laser light turning into 3MJ of fusion energy is neat but still losing 99% of the energy.

free energy has been a thing for a while before fusion energy, but has been kept a secret so major companies can stay powerful and make money 💰:(.

Fusion is ten years from breakthrough. Just like it was for the past 70 years

Am I understanding this correctly? This would not only give us seemingly limitless energy, but also let us create “rare“ resources like helium? Solving two of the world’s biggest problems at once?

But if we make too much helium won’t it get stuck in our atmosphere and we’ll fly away

Let me guess, we are gonna use the heat to boil water and spin a turbine?

it still doesnt mean anything. it may produce more energy then the lasers, not not more energy than the power it takes to power the lasers.

Is the net positive from the output of the lasers versus the fusion reaction release or from the gross input to the lasers?

Produces 1.5X more energy than the laser’s energy but what they don’t tell you is that it takes 10X more energy to power up the lasers

Why do they seem to think fusion produces more energy than it takes to setup
2023-12-23 13:29:14

Michael :
My understanding is that it produced more energy than the laser output, but not more than the amount of energy it took to power the lasers

Derrick Rupe :
so it won't be long before they can use fusion and fission to have a crazy cycle of endless energy.

Small thing, but the first image is a tokamak (uses magnets) while the fusion breakthrough was with lasers.

And that infrustructure is the problem. The cooling needed for containment is absurd. As a nuclear enginner, I doubt that fusion energy (1/2)

Wouldn’t we still run out of hydrogen to use? And how expensive is it in terms of energy to collect hydrogen?
