Tokamak Fusion is a waste of time and money. The future of energy lies in Lawrenceville Plasma Physics Focus Fusion. $50 million towards their project and we'd have fusion within ten years. Its fuel, decaborane, is nearly limitless. Energy production would be less the 1 cent per kWH. Its quite safe and produces no nuclear waste. A FoFu generator would generate about 5MW and fit in about the area of a garage, therefore you could engineer it to run a train, plane or spaceship.
"I wish we had more money." Wow, so pathetic, what this pathetic system does to people. Not only has it directly made 1 billion people too poor to even feed themselves and almost laugh the worlds population living under 2 dollars, it stops us from expanding innovations such as this. This is just one of many reasons why I advocate The Zeitgeist Movement. Look into it people, we need it, right now.
fusion the future? not likely, you cant make money off something that plentiful, seeing how the oil industry owns everything than not likely, cause inventions change the way we live and whos on top, the rich would rather reinforce the status quo
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
By 2050 fusion will be the source of most of the worlds energy.
This is not wishful thinking, it is simply a way of stating that all other forms of energy that are based on the use of finite fossil fuel sources must decline in the next few decades. This decline will provide a major impetus for the rapid increase in the utilization of Accelerator Driven Heavy Ion Fusion.

Thats bulll shit. Nuclear reactors create nuclear waste ,these waste take 100 000 years to become sterile. Just watch the movie INTO ETERNITY. You'll see how must its costing us , wich is hidden from the public. I would say hydrogen from sea water (cold area's) or battery powered cars for hot climate , this would drop our carbon dioxide by 60 % Then go more to sophisticated solar pannels wind turbines and zero point energy(already some prototype). Fission would brake this world apart :/

We have already discovered acceptions to newton's third law of physics, which is why quantum physics was brought into existance. Still, your device sounds interesting.
I don't get it. I never had any problems with youtube until they upgraded to this new form. Moreover, I just hate their upgrades almost in every aspect of it. Seriously, why would they spend money to make something worse? More importantly, I've seen more people complaining about it than praising it. Why can't just take a step back to older version? It really is not about me getting annoyed, but I just simply want to understand their motivation.
@gyromancy2 Science must be applied to values and forms of social organization, but at least in the forseeable future, values must be applied to science.
It is political and material culture that must be examined and changed, informed by science but motivated by compassion and respect for the truth.
There is already enough technology to make everyone reasonably happy, if we had a better economic system.
@hymnofashes There won't be any better economic system as long as scarcity is present. In the conditions of scarcity we can only have a system of distribution, either self-regulating (free market capitalism), either artificially regulated (socialism) or something in between.
Unlimited and inexhaustible energy source like fusion might just be the thing that is needed to create abundance and eliminate the scarcity condition across the whole world. No scarcity = no politics and no war.
@Indrius says, "No scarcity = no politics and no war." And that's why there will always be "scarcity" ...artificial scarcity is essential for control along with suppression of alternative technologies (we're still using the obsolete internal combustion with little efficiency improvements over the last several decades) to sustain politics and war.
@Probesoul but it cannot last forever. The stupidity will eventually end sometime in the future. New generations grow up with new mentalities. It's a slow but inevitable process. It's obvious if you, for instance, compare a world view of an average man of year 1900, and one of 2000.
@Probesoul if you think about it, where do controllers come from? They are the same people and they will die out sooner or later and be replaced by new generations. Remember, sexual revolution, collapse of fascism and communism, decriminalization of marijuana, it's just the beginning.
@Indrius "They are the same people and they will die out sooner or later and be replaced by new generations." True a hundred years ago but now they threaten all with extinction
@gyromancy2 Yes, true. However not many people think like he does, he will not be able to save us. In the next 50 years there will be some significant changes coming to mankind.
@gyromancy2 right. like the Atom Bomb!... will save us all! Long live the scientists who will bring us the next great weapon we will spend decades controlling it's proliferation.
@orcaluv we can burn the corpses of starving children for energy instead then.
actually I'm pretty sure nuclear fusion isn't useful in weapons, seeing as you need a giant powerplant to produce the magnetic field which contains the reaction, if you're after a giant bomb we already have plenty weapons that are almost infinitely more practical than anything you can do with nuclear fusion.
the sun the brightess object in the sky two particles fused 2 give us enough energy for 100 years no polution no war no death i can explane my plan in futher detail but it wont be easy we will need something wich can withstand billions of deggres just to get two paticles then we extract the energy within the particle a we fuse it or collide it things are still being planned out for my experiment of course firdt i will nedd 90 billion dollars or pounds scientist and the rest
So, about that IBM ad... Instead of tuning the lights inside the city using high powered computers to eliminate traffic jams, they instead make it too expensive to drive into the city.
It's not impossible that DeHe3 reactors(helium-3), will be first to hit the market, not classic fussion. The problem is he-3 is a bitch to extract from seawater or ground without advanced nanofilters. And solar/geothermal alternative is practical, at least for cars, such systems are being developed in Izrael, New Zealand, and Hawaii.
We are losing the capital to pay for these giant projects as the world credit system continues its implosion. We need solutions that are distributed and require less capital. I admire his commitment but the fact is that we've already lost the game and only a few people can see that right now.
A lot of very smart people think what your calling a pipe dream to be very possible, if not absolutely essential. I think you should at least persent some evidence that shows these people are so very deluded, or at least suggest an alternative...
fusion does happen in the ocean all the time... just like fission happens in the ground all the time.... The confusion is that you only think of fusion in terms of chain reactions and that is a special event.
Free cheaper cleaner energy is never gonna be available to 'us' Those in power dont want us out of poverty or to raise our standard of living bcus it will diminish their power (money)
And they are rich enough and greedy enough to allow us all to perish whilst they go on in their underground cave camps they have secretly built. Whatever.
But what strucks me is that nobody comes up with the idea that maybe we should use less energy (instead of trying to produce as much or more energy as today).
the problem with that, is that since the agricultural evolution, people have been working hard to ensure easy lives for their descendants, this higher standard of living is what modern day peoples in modern countries generally enjoy. Now it is true that 80% of the worlds peoples live for under $10 a day but for the remaining %20, that is unacceptable. It may honestly be easier to build a fusion reactor, than to convince the people of a global hyper power to drive hybrids and turn off lights
using less energy is just slowing down humanity's progress, while producing more energy means more resources and a faster rate of progress for the world
ha. dead on. right after the advent of nuclear power, many were anticipating miniature graphite-moderated HEU-fueled reactors to quickly replace car engines. Experts pointed to huge-scale differences between the energy outputs of chemical vs nuclear reactions, but failed to consider the obstacles posed to the tech's applications. this void -- separating science from applied science -- also ate the segway (which, for the record, is actually brilliant fun to ride).

At 2:21 - Wait - Solar for base load?!? For base load, you need a power source that can generate the required load, and be able to do exactly the same at any time in the future. The 2 major obstacles to a solar base load right now? Night and clouds.
Until there is a financially and energetically cheap way to store solar energy it will never be base load. Micro nuclear reactors with recycles fuel rods and geothermal are the only technologies worth investing in for the near future.
neutron? So what kind of weapon this thing will give for humanity just as Tesla becoming a mad geniuse using his idea as a weapon energy? So if i can get enough neutron and throw to the volcano will it destroy the planet earth?
If you shoot a beam of high energy neutrons at a volcano, my guess is that nothing will happen.
You get plenty of neutrons from nuclear fission too btw. (in fact, you need to put stuff in the reactor that absorbs some of them or you'll get a meltdown.)
NO nothing will happen, you see the tricky part like he said in the video is the 100m degrees. A volcano gets nowhere close to this in temps. They are basically talking about making miniature stars, contained, to make fusion.. They have done this, but have not made it last, nor have they created a device to harness it, though their are some in theory will work. All in all, for what it is worth I would focus more on the energy already being generated by our sun than trying to make contained suns.
Technology to recycle nuclear fission material has been in use for decades. The only reason the USA has piles of radioactive waste is Jimmy Carter made it illegal to reprocess fuel rods. If we reprocessed the fuel rod all the radioactive material could stay on site and we would have enough fuel for 5000 years giving the entire planet a USA standard of living.
Plus the new closed micro reactors like Hyperion would make it cheap and easy to transition.
If we aim to turn uranium into lead then we'd have no long lived radioactive waste and 5 billion plus years of energy. I'm sure the more difficult cycles could be worked out in a few million year max.
I was responding to sonyooo3. I hadn't figured out that he was implying fusion would take place int he volcano (I thought he just meant that free neutrons are dangerous). Not only is the temperature too low, but it's also unclear what would be the fuel. (Performing fusion with common rocks and lava instead of deuterium would require even higher temperatures... I wonder at what temperature an average rock will turn to plasma).
Fusion is indeed energy's future, just like it always has been and for a very long time will be. I say we dump a few trillion on fusion, build whatever contraption is deemed necessary. If it works, it's worth it. If it doesn't work, ending this pipe dream about fusion will ALSO be worth it.
oh yeh and for the advert at the end for congestion charges; lets not forget that IBM built the machines that categorised jews/homosexuals/gypsies and other minorities, sorted them into a database to aid the nazis with the holocaust.
i agree with you 100% man; but people need to realise the price for extreme corporatism. it does have its costs; its not only our habitat and animals that suffer the injustice of profitability. its good for people to know these things. without such knowlege; change can never happen. human life > profit; its as simple as that.
Competition is encouraged... So why is there no non corporate entity competing in any market at a lesser cost? The answer is profit is the motive. No one would bother to build cars for a 1$ profit, because most likely any fiscal turbulence would cause the company to fail.
fusion is energies extremely profitible future. lets not push renewable sources because if the technology becomes good, small, cheap and practicle enough; who knows, people might buy their own means to produce power. god forbid that.
The sun runs on fusion. It's the second most efficient form of energy production after direct transformation of matter into energy. We should definitely do it.
Arn't Fusion and Fission efficient at different levels above and below iron?
It would take a lot of energy to make fusion, I believe it's more efficient to have fission of elements about Fe (although then you have radioactive particles shooting everywhere) because you don't need to create the force necessary to fuse.
It would be less hazardous to fuse, but in terms of energy, fission would take less energy and resources to create.
in terms of pure energy efficiency yes its about sustainability though. uranium is getting quite scarce and very little of it is the vital 235 required.vast amounts of energy is required to turn 238 into fissionable plutonium. if a fusion power plant can be built it can easily be used to start another one. like lighting a new candle with a burning one. i'm surprised he does not mention helium 3 fusion since that does occur in nature the ideal power source would still be an antimatter reactor but
Awesome video. I had to do a presentation on Tokamak Reactors (JET & ITER were a big part of my presentation). Absolutely fantastic technology, definitely the way for future power.
SonicYouth: The way you get power from these machines is simply by pumping water through the walls of the machine. In JET there is a huge cooling system as described, but in a power plant this will be used to run turbines as well as cool the machine.
The sole meaning of this presentation was the experience, to implant the know how or possibility for change on a more reasonable perspective on productivity state. Even if it does not take off as this young man hopes for its the experience that pays this will get around faster than he knows Kudos.
This is a probable cause in leading humanity towards a more successful future.
@Grim, so true. Utterly ridiculous that the gov't would prop up one failing business (when others don't get a penny and are left to rot).
The money could be poured into fusion projects to hasten their results. The sooner we find a solution, the sooner we can stop pouring money into the middle east.
You got that backwards. Post-scarcity causes money to be not needed for post-scarce items. Money is vital to efficient allocation of scarce resources. And there will always be something that is scarce so some form of money will always exist.
The problem interfering with the transition to abundance is fraudulent currency and the accompanying inflation. Sound money and increased ownership of capital is the fastest path to global abundance.
Exactly true. To learn proper utilisation of the free market should be the true goal of the century. If we cross that hurdle, we can expect the flourishing of both science and society, and all the benefits that will entail. Peace, happy 2010...
We rely so much on energy. If we had so much that it was almost free, damn that would make the world a much better place, especially for the 3rd world. I think that when fusion finally gets perfected, it's gonna be a revolution that will change everything. Possibly one of the biggest revolution in mankind history.
haha, 'this is what turns me on', i am gonna use that when giving a talk about my research. well, in 5 years we're gonna have problems with energy and that will speed up the research.
Steven Cowley dismisses breeder reactors, but that technology is much closer than fusion. He completely neglects Thorium breeders which were demonstrated in the 1960's. Thorium is even more plentiful than Uranium. We can meet the world's energy requirements for over 1M years using Thorium breeders. Maybe Steven and his friends can make cheap fusion a reality using some of the time that U238 and Th232 breeders give us. Read about LFTR Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors.
I wish the world had more fission plants to help sustain global energy resources until fusion becomes practical.
The public is so misinformed about it though! A good friend said he was against nuclear energy because he thought it'd increase global warming. And cause nuclear war.
im more conserned about immigration in europe and us and what consecvences it is leaving because thats a matter of who we are and 'do' we are. id be pretty well off with a few of modern day thingies that are powered by oil and gas. how long are they around anyway? only about 100 years.
So why not lower our energy consumption? Smarter household appliances, lights (LED), less machines, live closer to work so less travel, less over production as the economy becomes demand driven,... we need to get smart!
so proud to say this guy is my lecturer ^.^

@hymnofashes There won't be any better economic system as long as scarcity is present. In the conditions of scarcity we can only have a system of distribution, either self-regulating (free market capitalism), either artificially regulated (socialism) or something in between.
Unlimited and inexhaustible energy source like fusion might just be the thing that is needed to create abundance and eliminate the scarcity condition across the whole world. No scarcity = no politics and no war.

@Indrius says, "No scarcity = no politics and no war." And that's why there will always be "scarcity" ...artificial scarcity is essential for control along with suppression of alternative technologies (we're still using the obsolete internal combustion with little efficiency improvements over the last several decades) to sustain politics and war.

If you shoot a beam of high energy neutrons at a volcano, my guess is that nothing will happen.
You get plenty of neutrons from nuclear fission too btw. (in fact, you need to put stuff in the reactor that absorbs some of them or you'll get a meltdown.)

NO nothing will happen, you see the tricky part like he said in the video is the 100m degrees. A volcano gets nowhere close to this in temps. They are basically talking about making miniature stars, contained, to make fusion.. They have done this, but have not made it last, nor have they created a device to harness it, though their are some in theory will work. All in all, for what it is worth I would focus more on the energy already being generated by our sun than trying to make contained suns.

luc59457 2 years ago 2
Technology to recycle nuclear fission material has been in use for decades. The only reason the USA has piles of radioactive waste is Jimmy Carter made it illegal to reprocess fuel rods. If we reprocessed the fuel rod all the radioactive material could stay on site and we would have enough fuel for 5000 years giving the entire planet a USA standard of living.
Plus the new closed micro reactors like Hyperion would make it cheap and easy to transition.

If we aim to turn uranium into lead then we'd have no long lived radioactive waste and 5 billion plus years of energy. I'm sure the more difficult cycles could be worked out in a few million year max.

I was responding to sonyooo3. I hadn't figured out that he was implying fusion would take place int he volcano (I thought he just meant that free neutrons are dangerous). Not only is the temperature too low, but it's also unclear what would be the fuel. (Performing fusion with common rocks and lava instead of deuterium would require even higher temperatures... I wonder at what temperature an average rock will turn to plasma).

Fusion is indeed energy's future, just like it always has been and for a very long time will be. I say we dump a few trillion on fusion, build whatever contraption is deemed necessary. If it works, it's worth it. If it doesn't work, ending this pipe dream about fusion will ALSO be worth it.

Arn't Fusion and Fission efficient at different levels above and below iron?
It would take a lot of energy to make fusion, I believe it's more efficient to have fission of elements about Fe (although then you have radioactive particles shooting everywhere) because you don't need to create the force necessary to fuse.
It would be less hazardous to fuse, but in terms of energy, fission would take less energy and resources to create.
ThieflordZ5 2 years ago
in terms of pure energy efficiency yes its about sustainability though. uranium is getting quite scarce and very little of it is the vital 235 required.vast amounts of energy is required to turn 238 into fissionable plutonium. if a fusion power plant can be built it can easily be used to start another one. like lighting a new candle with a burning one. i'm surprised he does not mention helium 3 fusion since that does occur in nature the ideal power source would still be an antimatter reactor but

You got that backwards. Post-scarcity causes money to be not needed for post-scarce items. Money is vital to efficient allocation of scarce resources. And there will always be something that is scarce so some form of money will always exist.

Steven Cowley dismisses breeder reactors, but that technology is much closer than fusion. He completely neglects Thorium breeders which were demonstrated in the 1960's.
