They advanced! The chart I remember showed the growth of
the ratio of the energy output to energy input for a
controlled hot fusion reaction. It grew many orders
of magnitude over 10-15 years, and got stalled at 1/30 in
1999 because the project was very expensive, and oil
was CHEAP. Also, "cold fusion" crap appeared. So,
they shut it down. A yield of more than 1 is, of course,
required to run a power plant. Preferably, much more
than 1. -g-
From that article:
"The European experiment Jet, hosted in the UK, has already
produced 16MW of fusion power, but only by inputting 25MW to
heat the plasma"
So, this ratio now grew from 1/30 to 0.64!!! We are extremely
close to running a controlled hot fusion reaction!!!! Of
course, it ain't cheap... for now. There are plenty of
bombs lying around for fuel, and then some more out there
for a few million years -ggg-
Hey, there are a few smart folks out there, even among the
government folks -ggg- |
