  • Nice to hear its planned to use this in combination with other approaches & not treated like a silver bullet!

  • I want this video on my E770 unit.

  • i prefer fission myself.

  • @keltoid777 fission produces lots of radioactive waste.

  • i feel sorry for all the arts majors who wont contribute to anything this valuable to humanity. This is one of the things i would love to be involved with after college.

  • Iter

  • lol, all i dont get is why were they showing the SUN if they arent using the trihydorgen fusion? (the 1 that is in the sun) :D

  • hi

  • why would anybody dislike this video

  • @64ig6kg0 cuz they either hate cheap energy or didnt understand it

  • i'm gonna assume celsius seeing how this is a European machine

  • The sun uses nuclear fusion, natural hydrogen is one proton which is 99.9% of hydrogen isotope, the remaining Deuterium and Tritium, are the >.1%, and half life of tritium is 12 years means at 5 billion years tritium will not have a trace in the sun like in the earth, then how does the sun do nuclear fusion, I am confused??

  • @noname4096 There are different ways nuclear fusion can happen. The sun uses a reaction that utilizes a reaction between 4 neutrons and 2 electrons to produce a helium atom, 2 neutrinos, 6 photons, and energy.

  • 100,000,000 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit?

  • GE ENERGY 5:30

     for Fusion Reactor theory

  • GE ENERGY 5:30

  • technically, burning oil is a form of fusion because its combining oxygen with carbon to make carbon dioxide?

  • @TheBradyoHead Wrong, thats a chemical reaction, not a radioactive one. Fusion is a radioactive reaction.

  • @Zzarillo oh right thanks for pointing that out

    but in both of them are they not combining to form a new molecule anyway? atleast they have something in common, unless im wrong, science isnt my best subject

  • I was looking for jazz fusion, but I'm baked so it's all good.

  • I don't understand everything in the video but it's kind of frightening knowing that future generations will be able to use the same power that the sun produces on earth. Scary thinking about it.

  • Cool

  • For the last 3.8 billion years nature has used in that turbulent flow of high pressure water or steam to do nuclear fusion. 2011 Sheffield University is researching how a steam plasma would fill out man to use nuclear fusion. Producing inert helium and oxygen. Plus loads of power. And no plutonium. The most toxic substance known to man.

  • Overpopulation is why I won't have children.

  • @onsenfoudunom1 Even tho the world is overpopulated nobody will sleep with you, so you don't have to worry about it.

  • The problem we are having is that major corporations still have enough OIL to make a few more Trillion dollars. We will not see any of this great technology come into fruition on till the last drop of OIL is gone OR until we stand up together as one human race against this GIANT beast called MAJOR CORPORATIONS. Sadly the majority of us don’t have the balls to do anything about this matter and use these sites as scapegoat to express our discontent.

  • @TheKingsofAces Corporations are only as powerful as they are because government and central bankers ENABLE them by making money out of thin air & by passing laws & providing subsidies that protect them.

    Answer, people need to not only find courage but also get themselves into government office and stop the corruption, allow for competing currencies tied to assets (gold/silver/copper), & shrink government size & power. Remember, historically it's government that has always impoverished people.

  • @TheKingsofAces You my friend, are the first person that i have seen on youtube, that actually knows what their talking about

  • 1:34 “Now with the participation of scientist it must be shown that ECONOMIC continues operation on a power plant scale is capable” You know what this translates to? Very simple, if the power plant does not generate enough money for the major corporation then all this will be a waste of time and more money. The problem we are encountering right now is not that we don’t have the capabilities of coming up with new innovative ways of creating clean reusable energy.

  • Nature contains everything that the human need to insure his survival as well as the progress in accordance to the direct relationship with his knowledge and the levelS of his interest to decipher the codes that are cleverly hidden in the nature itself. It would not be possible without the ultimate device “Brain” to guaranty the results, all it needs is that two basic ingredients and the machine will rewire and generates its own “neuron pathways” for ANY innovative ideas one desiers.

  • Go to Vermont. Man about nuclear fusion

  • Nature is full of nuclear fusion

  • @JonThm sure is, thats something Im learning about, recently I learnt the actual fusion of pee!

  • oh nooooo! how could we ever surpress our advertising future?

  • MY GOD, ARE THEY USING WINDOWS ON THEIR COMPUTERS? What if they get a BSOD?

    huahuahuhauahuahau

  • This kind of nuclear is preferred, and its too bad the other kind is proven and working. Hope we find a way to minimize its use. Also wondering if writings saying Germany hopes to be nuclear free, Fission and fusion, or just Fission?

  • Why not use that neutron that comes of from the end product to create fission, maybe use artificial diamond so when you break the bonding it gives off alot of energy, just a thought

  • haha if it doesn't work it would of been a REALLY big waste of time and money lmao

  • Star Scientific provide cheap and virtually limitless energy. As the source of the fuel is dueterium in ALL THE WORLDS OCEANS we have enough of it for millions of years. As far as energy is concerned there will be MORE THAN ENOUGH even for the projected population of 9 billion by 2050. See Star Scientific's "In the Footsteps of Fusion" Youtube video; read the chairman's of Star Scientific's blog "The Big Picture by Andrew Horvath": where all this is explained.

  • I can't help but be a little bitter that the rapidly growing populations are in India and China. I mean they need to start making some laws that control populations. And I know that's not a simple thing to do. Because a lot of the time cultures that have many children do it because that's their form of social security and retirement. No one else will take care of them as they get older. Energy won't solve the population problem. Energy won't solve our food problem either.

  • Yes roynexus6 I agree. You can find Star Scientific youtube videos by searching for "In the Footsteps of Fusion". Also you can google Star Scientific Limited and also the blog of their chairman "The Big Picture by Andrew Horvath"

  • Looks like Australian company Star Scientific LTD., is going to beat everyone to the punch. Muon Catalyzed Fusion is the answer. Most importantly is the answer that is ready NOW, not in 25 or 50 years from now.

  • is it just me or is the narrator the same guy hosting TED?

  • comments too long not gonna read them fuck you -_- atleast the chuck norris joke wus short

  • Please correct e if I'm wrong, but the thing for me is,

    this isn't sustainable as, is we are still going to be using the rocks and water or whatever..... and to turn them back to their original elements would take the same amount of energy as is released?

    To me the answer is things like solar, wind or tidal power which are inexhaustible.

  • @yippyjp Solar, wind and tidal power are not inexhaustible neither; it just takes a long time (about 5 billion years, when our sun dies) Same with nuclear fusion (which is ironically what sun does): it would take billions of years for the fuel, mostly sea water, to run out, and that's the last thing to worry about right now.

  • @yippyjp

    I can't answer your first question, but on the second one:

    Sola, wind and tidal power would be great... on a perfect world. These are really expensive to maintain, and not only that, it is also not efficient enough and most countries would be completely unable to live off these.

  • @yippyjp Problem is with tidal, solar and wind power we are totally at the mercy of mother nature. I personally think the way forward is geothermal power and nuclear fission or fusion, coal is good but it releases posions into the atmosphere. A man has developed a way to extract power from nuts by burining them. There is so much green renewable enegry out there, it's about time we stopped using fossil fuels.

  • I wonder how much energy is required to power the coil magnetic field to prevent the plasma from ever touching the walls? Or in other words, how efficient is this power "station" ?

  • @TookMe20min2findThis So far, a positive energy output is yet to be achieved, probably with ITER (ca. 10 times more output than input). The bigger the reactor, the more efficient, because it loses heat slower than smaller ones. A good analogy here are mice: they have to eat a lot more (with respect to their own weight) than us humans because they have a larger surface area. The coils don't use a lot of energy since they're built with superconducting materials.

  • Do whatever you can to help and contrtribute to science and to getting the right people into office in your citys and countrys.

  • We need to develope a new way of voting within our countries and eventualy globaly. A way that will bring the people closer to there governments and weed out all the greed and power corruptions. Human life is about peace and wellbing of all life not greed and physical stature.

  • @dkoribag1 Most corporate leaders are sociopaths. They all lack empathy and they really don't care they are harming the planet as long as they stay rich. To be a politician you have to have a certain personality. MOST not all corporate leaders are bad and not all politicians are but political positions tend to attract a certain personality. People that WANT to lead always tend to be douche bags. It is up to the people. We need to start rioting like they did in Greece and Egypt.

  • @dkoribag1 Were talking about energy not politics.

  • @dkoribag1 Governments should be afraid of their people.

  • @dkoribag1 i think we have to save our planet

  • planet. This is the peoples world and we must transistion our governments into working together to eaxspand our race into space and science peacfully without weapons.

  • Every individual human has a choice to make now. We have to decide if we want to continue with prehistoric mentality and way of thinking and living. Or we we unite as a human race to exspand and understand science more . You people must stop looking at the news and research on your own who to vote into office. We all have rights as Humans and share the planet together, thus we must learn to live in peace and learn how to advance our race into technoligies that will allow us the controll of our

  • I request this to be implimented into america.

  • once we find an easy way to produce positrons, nuclear, fossil and renewable energy won't be necessary.

  • what is the name of the song that starts playing at 7:47

  • Nature does fusion from water

  • BS! Fusion has ALWAYS been ~20 years away.... I'll believe it when I see it.

  • @geonerd I agree that magnetic confinement fusion is a waste of money but I suggest you have a look at Focus Fusion. It uses a dense plasma focus to fuse hydrogen and boron fuel. The great thing about it is that the process produces charged particles which can be converted directly into electricity rather than heating water to turn a turbine and then a generator. It's much smaller and much cheaper than any method of nuclear fusion and will probably ready for commercial use in 10 years.

  • Nature does nuclear fusion from water

  • A flame of oil or gas does nuclear other lower

  • hahahahaha tokamac is the most successful? this is a propiganda video

    not even the jap institute of tech has exceeded inniation energy

    every weak farnsworth type fusor has exceeeded these

  • It works. We hawe a smal reactor in norway. A propper size will do the jobb.

  • ПРИГЛАШАЮ ВСЕХ В СВОЮ ЛУЧШУЮ КОМАНДУ В КОМПАНИИ TALK FUSION,

  • It wont work

  • So for those who know more than I do, why do we not talk more about manifesting nuclear fusion for an alternative energy?

    This seems so convincing to me.

    Everyone just talks about solar, hydro, wind etc...

    fusion seems highly accurate and controllable, and the only reason I know why people use fusion is for bombs so far

  • @hkpopfan4lif3 Because of people like Turtlein, a few comments down, who think that fusion is a theory and not realistic. And also because we're probably not going to have commercial fusion plants until around 2050 at least.

  • @hkpopfan4lif3 Well, we don't yet have the technology to make widespread fusion reactors. When we do, they can easily satisfy all of our energy needs. However, we'll also have to convince the general public that they're safe. People are mortally afraid of nuclear fission powerplants, which are nowhere near as bad as people think they are, and they'd also be afraid of nuclear fusion plants, even though they're much safer, simply because the word "nuclear" is in the name,

  • The turbulent flow of steam does nuclear fusion

  • wow 500 megawatt eek

  • Fusion is WAY more powerful than fission and will create less waste. Nuclear fission creates waste and isn't renewable as fusion is.

  • Comment removed

  • @Turtelin  you do acknowledge that nuclear fusion is superior to Nuclear fission? and that little in the form of waste and radiation is generated?

  • @Turtelin that was fission this is fusion completely different things fusion emits no radioactive substances

  • @Turtelin

    We are still trying to create a nuclear fusion reactor. Fukushima is a nuclear fission reactor.

    The only waste product from nuclear fusion is helium ....

    I honestly havn't read a stupider comment on youtube yet today then yours just now.

    You seriously don't know the BASIC differences between nuclear FISSION and nuclear FUSION? I knew these primary concepts when I was 9, and I know they teach this stuff at even younger ages now.

    Are you handicapped?

  • @mdma4life I'm not taking any lessons from some wasted junkie like you. Take all the pills you want and go party at some power plant. Not all of us are keen on the nuclear matter and fusion is only a theory not a real process.

  • @Turtelin

    LOL, its just a random name I made (though I do find the MDMA molecule fascinating in its ability to prevent 4' hydrolysis by the resonance stabilized methoxy bridge ... anyways)

    As for fusion, tell that to the thermonuclear bombs that were detonated before/during the cold war, these are fusion devices

    OR tell that to the sun, which uses nuclear fusion at its core. In fact, no element heavier then helium would exist if fusion didn't occur

    You tried so hard, yet failed so bad :(

  • sadly nothing is strong enough to hold such heat from fusion =(

  • @wesi1234 magnetic field and hold the plasma in mid air :P

  • What's great about nuclear fusion is that radioactive by-products are far far less than nuclear fission.

  • Let's keep our children from harm. Please watch "Radiation Animation". Thank you.

  • Very informative, great video, thanks.

  • so why are we using nuclear fission? why not just go all fusion if it is so good, there has to be a down side :P

  • @ste3fc why? because we cannot yet acquire more energy from from the reactor than we put in.

  • @EuropeanBrit oh i know now, learnt about it the other day but thanks anyway :)

  • @ste3fc Yeah, it's extremely difficult to initiate.

    I think.

    Fusion is what happens at the center of stars, and it takes ALOT of energy to begin.

  • the original planned site for the iter experimantal reactor was japan,thatnk god they decided to build it in france,&you thin they would double or quadruple the budget for this stuff,if thry did i wonder if the time frame of when we could see it in widespread practical use could be cut in half,also i wonder what the net energy gain is after you take into account the energy spent on the manufacture and transportation of the fuel,ive heard everything from 2050 to 2035 before we see this being used

  • There is a university in florida that has created safe energy by fusion. They use helium and boron 11 and the by product? helium. look it up on google there is a link to the independents website where ia read the article.

  • Chill out guys, its a video about fusion.

  • Just posted "The Boron Song" (aka "The Boron Rap") with lyrics. Have fun!!!

  • If fusion is ever invented it will not be by the socialistic EU.

  • @ThorkilKowalski Aww, is the united states getting all grumpy on how it it is the 'best country in the world', when in reality, the frontiers of technology and science lie at the 'pity' hands of the EU. How sad indeed :(

  • @KoolKidKarl2k8

    I am studying science in the EU, I am a Dane living in Finland. And currently most of the top-20 universities are in the United States.

    Google "Best universities"

    And I should warn you: facts may hurt.

  • @ThorkilKowalski So what? Universities in America aernt going to invent nuclear fusion. They would have to start where the EU started. And it would take them at least 10-20 years to get there, and by then, we may have mastered fusion as a primary power source.

    What has universities got to do with it, as I recall, its not universities that are developing the technology, its the top scientists from all over the world.

    And if your danish, how come it says your from america on your channel? Fail.

  • @KoolKidKarl2k8

    Lol. I does? That's wierd. Well, I am Danish.

    And the US is pretty big on fusion as well, they just have some other approaches than the magnet, tokamak approaches which Europe goes for. America bets more on laser controlled plasma.

    You are absolutely wrong. It IS the universities which are developing this technology. It is science groups at the universities.

  • @ThorkilKowalski

    These ranking are based on graduate studies and research mainly - what's funny is that American universities have the highest ratio of non-US student to US students in the world, so a substantial amount of their brainpower is actually foreign :P

  • carbon dioxide is NOT BAD

  • Its NOT going to work. They wont be able to scale it up enough.

  • Im white, my cat is black :D

  • what we need to develop is miro fusion cells that would solve everything

  • Expanding global population is just about the largest single contributing factor to both pollution and the energy crisis yet moral views to this matter continues to go unadressed. Much of this is due to the way peoples' minds are being conditioned by marketting, entertainment, news & environment.

  • @Afrocanuk Agreed. People in the sciences are spending their lives looking after an increasingly spoiled bunch of worthless spoiled little bastards, so easily brainwashed and poisoned by big business.

  • @Afrocanuk you ourself believe in this propaganda?

  • @Afrocanuk lack of sexual education and responsability is the reason

  • @Afrocanuk If that is the case, then please explain why those populations exposed to the marketing, entertainment, news and envoronment that shape these moral values, are growing at a far slower rate than those populations that are not exposed to such media.

    The west's populations growth rate is far lower than the world average, yet it is here where people are more likely to be exposed to these 'moral' views of the type you quoted.

  • @connchri In certain developed western countries, there has long been a steady and easily attainable supply of contraceptive. In addition, if western abortion rates were added to its birth-rates, then the birth statistics would more closely match those globally. Abortion has long been the topic of many demonstrations in North-America over past decades. There's also a chance that the figures you're going by are unrealistically conservative.

  • @Afrocanuk The real culprits of pollution is population as you mention but its only few countries that are the problem, the main two would be China and India there populations are growing so rapidly that their energy requirements are huge,the problem is also escalating as adults have 10 or more children with the mentality that when they're old and frail they will be able to look after them financially, and not only that but that means millions more live in poverty every year.

  • @Afrocanuk

    WRONG. You people piss me off, go read a book. As The human species develops the demand for energy is naturally going to increase-see the kardashev scale.

    No.1 Reason for Pollution and the preceived energy crisis is a real lack of forethought on behalf of politicians.

  • @Afrocanuk CO2 is not pollution, it INCREASES rain water & plant growth, the problem is RATE of output, but the atmosphere can be mined for CO2 (artificially & biologically) & turned into fuel, driven by solar power. Nuclear fission also aids in the production of CO2 to fuel. Climate change is over-hyped. Energy is key to stabilizing/reducing populations & ending poverty.

  • Seriously guys? I came here to learn more about Nuclear Fusion and it's turned into an ignorance competetion between the US and Europe? Seriously?

  • cant they put small nuclear plants in cars ? lol idk

  • @zachaqsw yes they can but i dont know if you want to have an atomic bomb traveling with your family our knowledge of nuclear power is too poor to make it safety enough.

  • @zachaqsw LOL Thats a good one.

  • @helloThought P.S. I am not European either, haha. I do agree with the fact that alot of people might find the term "color blind" rasist, but no one is perfectly black or white, so technically, they would still be included. All colors turned monochrome would include every ethnicity. Anyhoo, the whole of that paragragh is talking about what you just helped prove. You still picked out a group for something. We're just bread that way.

  • ...are a South American dish which leads me to believe you think I AM South American. If so, that "dirty" remark must be your idea of South Americans as a whole. They wouldn't be too happy to hear that. I needn't spell out where I am from, because it doesn't matter. For the record though, I use soap, body washes, shampoos, conditioners, and something called "toothpaste". I like starting disputes online, but when they turn into hateful, personal nit-picking wars, it's no longer fun. LAME

  • @nicholirage I enjoyed the effort you put into your remark. If you've noticed, there isn't much space in here for full sentences. Besides. if you've read a book you'd know as long it makes sense, you can chop alot off a sentence. Revert that comment to someone who texts. That said, I wonder how many people you may have offended in saying "non-Americans" dont use soap and smell like tortilla chips. Just because there is soap IN America doesn't guarentee you use it, and tortilla chips ...

  • Could be a huge waste of money. This type fusion may never work.

  • unaware the Americans have been researching fusion since the early 1950s.

    I actually saw a video on South Korea's contribution to ITER where a comment actually said:

    Way to go South Korea! America would never invest in fusion research. They like being addicted to fossil fuels too much.

    If you want to criticize my country, FINE!...but don't pull a bunch of bs you just made up and which is totally false to do so!

  • What the hell? It sounds like a marital counseling session in here! Here we are, presented with important science...and all I am seeing is bickering about racism and two peoples' from different countries xenophobia. What pisses me off, is what I have read on other discussion boards about fusion. Some non-Americans are pretty ignorant to all the money America has spent on fusion to this point.  They ignore the American contribution to ITER, have never heard of NIF at LLNL, and are also totall

  • @ps3man75

    Not exactly. You'd need VERY enriched material to sustain a reaction fast, large, and powerful enough to be a nuke. Otherwise the worst that can happen with the low-grade fuel is that your reactor overheats, possibly explodes (high pressure, not nuclear), or otherwise melts, and radiation leaks everywhere.

    So it's more like asking, "when can I buy a dirty bomb?" lol

  • Life does nuclear fusion via a lightning discharge

  • Why hasnt anyone thought of trying to capture the raw power of Chuck Norris to power the USA? All he has to do is kick an atom, and you have instant fusion.

  • @R3MUS2007 Thats Duke Nukems job.

  • @R3MUS2007 lol i can tell ur a nerd----- when chuck norris dies i wanna see the look on u and the other nerd clans face, hes one person that was in a movie or tv show.. id kick chuck norris's old ass bitch...so get off his dick

  • when can i buy a fusion/fission powered car?

  • @imaqtlolz That's like saying, where can i buy a nuclear bomb?

  • @ps3man75

    i said "when"

  • Life does nuclear fusion

  • Comment removed

  • Whats this guy talking about? Fusion doesnt get passed unity does it? There is a very good chance this isnt going work. Maybe the scale is too small to get a stable reaction.

  • hey i got a question, if you extract D2 from water, will we run out of water in a long run??

  • @jerylboy92 no?

  • Turbulent steam does nuclear fusion

  • Utsuho Reiuji causes Nuclear Fusion, nuff said.

  • what i dont understand is in the begining it shows deuterium and tritium fuse theres only 1 atom each, example, 0 =deuterium 0 = tritium.. fuse, 0 >< 0 to create a bigger atom O .. but then right after he starts explaining it again but the deuterium has 3 atoms in 1, and the tritium has 2 in 1.. WTF which is it i dont wana get this test wrong on this esay cause its worth alot of my grade an i have to DIAGRAM the steps of the process, what am i gunna do start off wit 1 then magicly change to 3

  • @987bowen It's symbolic. They might show deuterium and tritium as single orbs in the first animation, but they aren't. Hydrogen has 1 proton. So has the 2 hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium. What sets the 3 hydrogen isotopes apart are the number of neutrons. Hydrogen has 0, deuterium has 1 and tritium has 2. When fusion between deuterium and tritium occurs you get helium. Helium prefers 2 protons and 2 neutrons in the nucleus, so 1 neutron will split off and be on its merry way... Usually

  • in able for nuclear fusion to occur, immense heat energy has to be generated meaning the fusion reactors has to get the 10 million degrees heat energy somwhere else causing a big flaw. so to get energy you need to waste even more energy like fossil fuels. meaning that the effiency of nuclear fusion is crap. so unless you can get 10 million degrees from renewable resources like windmills then nuclear fusion will work

  • @Psalm789 No it takes huge amounts of energy to kick start the Reaction, once Nuclear Fusion starts its self sustaining.

  • @EFSpartan so maybe you could use something such as fission to get to the heat and then, when tecnology (sorry for spelling) allows it let the fusion power itself and execess power given to the suroundings could be used as the form of energy. Then again i dunno, im only little lol

  • @thebritishdannyboy2 No You are right, That is what they are planning to do, using fission to kick start a fusion reaction at least that's what they do with a Thermal Nuclear Bombs (H-Bombs)

  • Excellent work! These fusion engineers are truly inspiring! The Tokamak is pure beauty.

  • @acidrain1976 I agree whole-heartedly; a thank you to all those who are working on this scientific endevor!

  • US NAVY SPAWAR Cold Fusion Research Center has reported byproducts of a fusion reaction having taken place in their experiments.

    Pons and Fleischman were right! The MIT study which supposedly debunked cold fusion has been proven to be a fraud, please read the scientific papers on it!

    Even scientists are capable of being brainwashed. Just threaten them with ridicule...It works! Most scientists won't even look at Cold Fusion thanks to this tactic.

  • Go back and read what I said. I specifically said "mass produced electric cars". Do you understand what "mass produced" means?

  • Hi I am racist American.

  • why can you not use ionized hydrogen gas for fusion?

  • @heyshutupyou They essentially are using hydrogen plasma, but if you're asking why they can't use normal hydrogen that has only one proton and no neutrons, it's because it won't work. They have to use the Deuterium and Tritium isotopes of hydrogen in order to provide the neutrons needed to make the helium product, the spare neutron, and the resulting energy release. Without the neutrons in those two isotopes, there won't be enough nuclear binding energy to make the helium and release energy.

  • @heyshutupyou becuase ionized hydrogen is nothing more than a proton; therefore with no neutrons there cannot be fusion

  • I can't help they pay me

  • chicago at the begining of the vid?

  • Good video, however, it didn't say much about efficiency.

    I definitely believe that Nuclear fusion should be researched even further since it is much safer than nuclear fission.

    It'll still have a relatively large impact on the environment since one still needs to extract the elements. Which means mines for the lithium, and factories by our oh so beloved shorelines (slight sarcasm), but really, we'd need to see the whole entire world make the shift. To be continued...

  • It would be interesting to see what the percentage of CO2 emissions is for the production side of our economy is vs. the consumption side, eg. transportation. If it worked out that the production side was the worse of the two evils, then fusion energy is a good idea since it would be possible to get most stationary buildings on the fusion supplied grid. However, if it's the other way around, how could we make our transportation run on fusion energy. We know that electric cars are inefficient TBC

  • so charging the car would still be required. and what about planes, buses, boats, trucks...might be a bit of a clusterf--k.

  • @thebiycyclefreak The internal combustion engine has been around for well over 100 years. Mass produced electric cars have only been around less than 10 years. Give the technology another decade and it will be far superior to anything that runs on dead plants.

  • @kossmikham "Mass produced electric cars have only been around less than 10 years. " Actually they've been around as long AS the internal combustion engine. They had problems though, one was the range, and 2 was the sluggishness. The reason why the internal combustion engine won was simple. Once the tank runs empty, go to station, fill up, drive for another long distance. They simply had better range.

  • :( for all of you fussing over this but are interested. Please google search, under google video: Should Google Go Nuclear? Clean, cheap, nuclear power (no, really)

    It will be the first link. it should be 93min. Do post back and let me know what you think!

  • The load crack of thunder is accompanied by the release of helium, light and heat. So lightening does nuclear fusion from water

  • The turbulent flow of high pressure water or steam produces heat, helium and oxygen. Molecular nuclear fusion. It powers nature.

  • This will not work, sorry to disappoint everyone.

  • LIghtning does fusion

  • @JonThm actually i believe it does fission... it splits atoms thats what the loud crack of thunder is

  • just like to joke. Same goes for racism. I'm metaphorically colour blind. Dont give a rats ass what ethnicity you are, you're still the host for a potentially interesting person. I hate when people are like.." oh, dont be a racist! stop picking on black people!" That statement in itself is just as discriminatory for singling the group out in the first place. people just gotta take shit less seriously. Seriously!

  • @Mindraken Just so you know, any time you call yourself "colorblind", and black person is going to automatically think you a racist. It's a really fucking dumb thing to say.
