just sad "real" engineering started peddling snake oil just like musk and his fans this along with the slingshot spaceship made me unsub. he's a disgrace to the engineering community

I find this field fascinating, and I am always saddened that it is not given more resources.

TLDR : you have a British accent, I believe you more. All jokes aside, great explanations. I think there’s a knowledge gap between you and real engineering when it comes to nuclear physics

you said "blanket the earth with gases" fu for that you pseudointellectual

I thought this video was quite interesting and I learnt a few new things, I could have done without the childish sarcasm though, it makes you sound bitter and jaded, and decreases your credability - in the future just stick to the facts

Wrong. We will have it because of AI robotics. AI is the only thing that can contain it

Really useful and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing

I always thought refraction in glass occurs because light as an electromagnetic wave is an object that follows the laws of quantum theory and thus, is forced to take the fastest way, which isn't straight because then it needed to travel all the way through the glass, along the hypothenuse. So it needs to go a longer distance through the air before entering the glass at an angle closer to the normal, reducing the length of the hypothenuse and therefore the distance it has to travel through the glass. I learned that in a physics book adressed to 12 year olds, nevertheless, I honestly think that this explanation sounds way more convenient than the "light is driving around a corner with the outer tires turning faster than the inner ones" one.

does nt work on the internet?

I was wondering if hh70 by energy singularity something cool or they also overhype what they doing, seems simmilar to cfs but with much less funding

That outro gave me a chuckle for the least

I'll say back to the drawing board on that one and do me for a self contained quantum fusion chip about a cm cubed, that stays roasting for eight years. Just whack two pieces together at 40km/second. Not that much momentum, about the same as a person on a bicycle. There are tricks to maintain momentum and increase speed, e.g. whips, and conservation of angular momentum. Concentric planar and non-planar wheels? Generally move something heavy and transfer the momentum to something lighter without losing energy.

With a tokamak where are the pipes to extract the heat to superheat the water to run the turbines to generate the electricity? To get a gigawatt continuous, probably need quite a high water flow, since a 2.1m radius tokamak only has so much surface area. Will they be using carbon to capture the neutrons, around a pipe network? Need to watch for parts melting before not so much elapsed time? The video mentions the neutron damage issue, no good with one hour of operation every 2 years.

Should taxpayers fund a delusion? Probably not, since the fresh graduates the companies hire will be paying the highest price. Needing better seasonal storage of renewables which is better than wood, already. Only so many enthusiastic people with sense, best not be having them chasing a pipedream?

Excellent video

I instinctively felt that He-4 mass is not 4.0026 amu. But is just 4.026 amu. So that actually, FUSION is Endothermic Process.. stored Energy in form of Helium Binding Energy... The only Given-off (Energy) Process is Fission. When Bigger Atom broken into two smaller/lighter (elementary) atoms.. such as He-->2H + Energy (?!?) I knew this is against the Very fundamental of Nuclear Physics (for every Atom smaller than Iron (Fe) or Nickel (Ni) the growing larger Atom by FUSION, will make LIGHTER Product from a little Heavier (two) atoms, thus giving off some Energy (or fast neutron) My suggestion CAN Explain the Coronal Mass Ejection... Current physics CANNOT.!?!

great video. thanks for giving such a level-headed and well-cited breakdown of the current state of fusion energy

Waiting for the "lol" or "yep" comments to come in from 2040.

Fusion doesn't create radioactive waste

why not a single word about stellarators?

Excellent teacher.

Here is a like just for that kirov

Once I saw the happy sun I couldn't un-see it.

"If you look at the sun..." me: ARGH IT BURNS WHYYY "...Which you should only do with protection for your eyes or a special telescope..."

I just wish people could overcome their apprehensions and fears about fission power. It's not like it doesn't have risks and drawbacks, but altogether it really isnt that dangerous, especially modern fail-safe designs. People chasing the fantastical promises of fusion, pouring so much money into it that could easily build an entire generation of modern fission designs that would be more efficient and safer than anything that has ever been built. But no, fusion is the sci-fi future, and the people who spend the money are either passionless goons chasing the best timescale of profitability or moronic wastrels chasing their sci-fi fantasies

Why bother with fusion if there is enough thorium and uranium to power the humanity for ever?

Trust the Science LoL LoL LoL

Perpetual Motion machine. Replicating fusion without using the core of a star as a gravity well to contain the enormous energy output is akin to claiming you can create a machine that can stay in motion under its own power forever. Ignoring the fact that nothing in the universe can produce energy/power FOREVER... the concept of being able to somehow setup the same level of energy output as **THE SUN** while in a tiny (relative to the size of **THE SUN**) area like a laboratory, or a large reactor, OR A LARGE CONTINENT... it seems more than a bit far fetched. I get the allure - and it's a helluva good way to test directed energy weapons and even fund them with private capital rather than income taxes... but at the end of the day, did we ever really believe a machine could provide enough power to contain its own fusion reactions while somehow producing more than enough power to power its own containment?

Thanks! it makes more sense now

I majored in physics, and one of my classes was an introduction to semiconductors and electronics (final project we had to design our own electronic device of any sort; I choose to design, implement, and create a THERAMIN, the musical instrument). I used a photoresistor for the pitch (frequency) and volume control (thus, moving your hand would like change the amount of light hitting the photo-resistor. Also, we derived how *_P-_* and *_N-type_* _transistors_ worked in my QM courses (quantum mechanics courses 137a & 137b) using _first principles_ of quantum mechanics. You cannot explain how transistors work *_without_* quantum mechanics; the Newtonian(or, rather, Maxwellian approach with non-QM features) approach simply DOES NOT WORK as an explanation

Dude, this video ist awesome. I seriously owe you a gallon of beer! I mean it. Feel free to contact me so I can return a favor.

Can’t believe Lockheed Martin solved nuclear fusion 4 years ago. I remember it like it was 50 years from now.

Thank you, but you fail to bring in the bigger picture, the context that gives meaning to all the work being done in the field. Your expressed hope seems academic. What energy source do you think holds the most promise now? Renewables can’t possibly replace the fossil fuels we currently rely on so much. Unless legislated and made somehow mandatory, conservation is probably practiced by some 5% of the world’s population save in authoritarian countries where it’s mandated (if there are such!). Hydrogen? Sodium-cooled Thorium reactors? The biggest barrier to those is probably the politics of the military-industrial complex of the nation-states, and of course the fact that one has yet to be built, but in theory they should work much better than the fast-breeder reactors we use now.

Who is going to want this in their back yard? Spend that money on wind, solar and storage batteries.

China sends their regards

I wish i watched this before taking a computing architecture class😭😭. Everything makes so much more sense now! I'm actually willing to try assembly again

My father joined the industry in the early 80s. It's been 20 years away every year since then. He's now approaching retirement and we're now only 19 years away. My father's probably one of the smartest people I know managing to do 1 years worth of work and get paid for doing 40. 😂

Excellent vids straight forward and understandable. Any thoughts on SAFIRE?

Vertical pool aquarium

put horses on a treadmill and they will generate infinite energy, feed them grass, use their manure when it dries as fuel or leave it so more grass grows, have 10 horses per house, energy 24/7, but really fusion is stupider than anything, fission is perfectly fine, and solar panels with batteries to store energy is even better, if all houses switched to solar then coal/gas powerplants would stop polluting, people would drive electric since now it would be free to charge, killing gasoline industry etc.

Excellent presentation and sourcery.

Thank you

I woke up and decided to figure out how all this worked...this is the 3rd or 4th video i have clicked on. Im 10 mins in...and feel like nothing is going in my head

0:05 fusion, no “waste”.

I don’t know why there are people who seem to think that 1 - 1 > 0

I think I get it, so CPU is the brain of the computer right?

Well, the exact missile shown in the picture uses a 256x256 pixel thermal camera with image recognition to identify the target. Much, much harder to spoof than the classic conical scan. How to spoof the original spinning disc missile? Simple - shine a strobe light into it, synchronised with the disc's rotation. Its speed is practically constant across all missiles of a type, and it could be known via espionage (or other means). Doesn't have to be perfect. It'll throw the missile off course. This is next to impossible with the AIM-9X (or IRIS-T, ASRAAM or the Python-5, for that matter), because of the camera coupled with image recognition. Much more complex and involves digital image processing instead of discrete vacuum tubes. But it works better. Honestly, I think computers getting faster are what pushes the rest of modern technology further along: Simply being faster allows us to do computations that back in the day were either impossible or ridiculously hard to do. Things like finite element analysis, for example.

Hi, i have a potentially dumb question: instead of blanketing the reactor in beryllium, which by my understanding has a limited life and would eventually need to be replaced, hence creating radioactive waste, wouldn't it be feasible to surround the fusion chamber in ultra pure water? We already know that water is excellent at stopping radiation, since we bathe our nuclear reactors and spent rods in it. Couldn't ultra pure water be superheated and used to heat up water in a separate circuit to be turned into steam to power turbines? Wouldn't this create more deuterium in the process as well? Of course, the best minds on the planet have probably thought about this 100 years ago, but I don't know the answer to why this isn't feasible.
