Would a based physicsfag care to explain roughly what the mechanism for the reactor is?

>>7993892
We have fusion reactors you moron. And there's even one in construction that'll generate a net energy.

>>7993960
yeah but they dont generate more energy than it takes to power them yet,

>>7993962
That's what I said, a net energy. We don't have them yet but there's one in construction.

gotta love /sci/

This is essentially just an extremely beefed up fusor, so it's based on electrostatic confinement.

The guy in the video has claimed that he is currently working on a remote control room because apparently his fusor produced enough neutrons to give him serious radiation sickness and activate every metal tool in his shed/garage. So he had to buy all new ones.

However he has posted no data confirming this. Claims he will when he finishes his remote control room but who knows.

not that anon, but let's try with numbers

first case: they light it up but fail to sustain the reaction
energy consumed 1,000 - energy produced 100 = energy lost 900

second case: they light it up and manage to sustain the reaction
energy consumed to light it up 1,000 + energy consumed to sustain it for a day 1,000 - energy produced the first day 900 = energy lost 1,100 the first day (and 100 for every additional day)

That's actually incredibly cool; I was wondering why it was arcing so wildly, guess there's my answer.

>getting new technology to work requires an investment, be it money, energy or effort
who would've thought?

Any idea if lockheed martin fusion reaction will actually work ( they also havent released any data)

>>7994078
>they also havent released any data

they will as soon as they can prove it works

stay tuned...
