Plasma and Reactors

Keep squishing it around with large magnetic fields it will surely heat up

Also plasma glows infrared so you can heat up your water pipes and drive a steam turbine

the low pressure isotopes in the chamber respond well enough to be heated? I thought the plasma was only a good enough conductor once it was a full plasma?

>>8879950
its kind of pointless to imagine a temperature for this gas

try to think of it as a load of particles being smashed into eachother. The energy of the smashings should be enough to cause fusion

The whole temperature thing is a brainlet mechanism for writing in popular magazines

In reality they just speed it up and watch it smash

>>8879959
how is the plasma initially excited or ionized?

>>8879967
if you give something enough energy it will plasma

electrons fuck off after a while so yeah

Its like mexicans riding in the back of a truck, if you floor it no more mexicans

>>8879974
yeah but whats the initial flooring? do they just throw microwaves until it gets hot enough to go plasma? Do they start with a tiny amount and just pump the field until it excites then add more? whats goin on?

>>8879980
well i guess its just hot potato

>>8879982
ok

>>8879938
>how is plasm formed?

>>8880041
specifically in a reactor as it starts
