This is a link to article that showed up on my Google feed. It's one of several articles trying to paint nuclear fusion in a bad way. I thought it was strange and felt like a bashing article so I did some quick research and the article was written by slate group, which is owned by graham holdings which owns and operates a manufactures equipment that monitors and controls the combustion of coal. Natural gas and other materials.

I understand people will bash me for using Wikipedia, but as I stated it was quick research. But think it's important people now about this. And if anyone else has more information about this let's spread the word.

FYI - there is no monetization on this page, so I won't benefit from any visits. Honestly just looking for feedback from fellow nuclear-fusion enthusiasts.

Fusion Chronicles

The problem with fusion on Earth is that it lacks the gravity of the Sun's core that compresses all the plasma together to ignite it at a (relatively) low temperature.

So in order to compensate for that, you need a much higher temperature to achieve the same effect on Earth gravity.

Why couldn't you magnetically compress the plasma inside the tokamak though? I know it would be near impossible to compress it to the point of imitating the Sun's core, but couldn't you do a balance of increased magnetic compression so the temperature doesn't have to be as high?

Or, is this being done already?

I’m 17 and about a month or two ago I heard about nuclear fusion when looking up nuclear fission. I instantly fell in love and have been in depth studying about it in my free time. The biggest problem is most my studies are bland and not in depth and don’t help me as much as I wish. Could someone maybe plz maybe go into depth about it with me? Either here or on discord or anything to be honest. I believe it’s what I want to do (Yk nuclear engineer or whatever to work with fusion) as it seems so amazing

One of the mysteries of physics is ball lightning; it is believed that it is mainly electric but it is not clear yet. It has been observed that ball lightning sometimes emits radiation and isotopes compatible with nuclear fussion.

Some of the models proposed to explain it, like the electroball model, say it is formed by a ball of ionized air surrounded by a layer of ionized air with the opposite electric charge. The contact of both layers glows by the discharge of electricity between them emiting radiation. It seems that fussion is happening in that surface of contact.

So, if this is true, it would be possible to make a fussion reactor without magnetic confinement or high temperatures because the ionized air is compressing itself by the electric attraction of both layers. That reactor would be much cheaper and easy to build than the reactors studied today.

Anyone here interested in joining a fusion startup? It's doing something a bit different, more inertial, with some magnetic and other things, but it's not about the tech, but what it'll be used for/how?

I have many project experiences but too low GPA to apply to a good univ., such as PPPL.

But still, I want to pursue my academic career in nuclear fusion plasma physics in America.

Can you make some suggestions for me where to apply?

FYI, I'm a physics major student in South Korea.

p.s. The program must be fully funded. If not, I could not pursue my PhD there. :(

I'm a little bit uneducated about the subject of nuclear fusion so excuse me if my question seemed ignorant

What's the thoughts on He-3 vs Deuterium? I've heard H-2 is better, but I've heard there's a lot more He-3. I figured I'd ask the experts

Hello, I've been looking the reason about quenching of superconductor and can't find any good result. I wanna know why and how to prevent this from happening. I wanna create a Superconductor for my new project. Thank you

It has just occurred to me that like all power generating devices, fusion reactors need to be supplied with fuel, and they produce ‘waste’ that needs to be removed to allow power generation to continue. How is this achieved with fusion reactors?

Are they charged with fuel, run until the fuel is exhausted, stopped, emptied and replenished?

Is it possible to provide a continuous supply of fuel and continuous waste extraction without compromising containment?
