The really interesting part is the potential to use fusion energy for propulsion in space, having a fuel with incredibly high energy density allows for constant thrust navigation. Effectively would mean travel times to distant locations would be below linear. ie a place twice as far may take only 1.6 times as long to get to. I hope I live long enough for the tech to be used this way, I would donate my lifes savings to it.

Congratulations, another 30 years to go!

In ten years from now, it is certain that fusion energy will be practical. Go back 10, 20, 30 years or more and you will see that it always has been and always will be. When I was in high school in the early 60's fusion energy was "just around the corner" and it "would solve all our energy needs." I, for one, learned a long, long, long time ago not to hold my breath for such things. The only fusion energy machine that we can ever tap into is the furnace within our own sun and it has powered life on the earth for over 4,000 million years.

Anyway, top work all. I wish you further success at this impressive rate.

At the rates the infrastructure is collapsing it won't matter! .🤬

Fusion is determined by pressure and temperature. Temperature is determined by velocity of the ions. Velocity is determined by magnetic field and the scale of the tokamak, which means the smaller the scale, the stronger the field has to be to keep the ions in their curved path. And there is a limit to the strength of the field a certain superconductor can stand before it looses its superconductivity. So the bigger the tokamak the higher the temperature that is achievable with currently available materials. So how can a small machine outperform a bigger one? - Would be my question. My second question is how high the pressure is in this machine.

Exciting times 👍🏼

YOU GUYS ROCK

Just think for a moment and I am glad you're excited about 'fusion'. If the energy expended was on Thorium then we would be ridding the world of our nuclear waste stockpiles, slowly to be sure but without making any more fissionable material. Not nearly as sexy are fusion but we would cut the use of petroleum to about a tenth of what it is now. The reactors could be small and decentralized as well. Anyhow, seems to be a pipe dream to pick up from the work done in the 50's where it was scrapped because it would not produce a bomb. Good luck you guys.

I too would fall in the category of people who instinctively thought fusion was something that needed scale to be efficient. But after this video I think I'm starting to believe in the fact that having an uniform high T field will be easier to achieve in smaller tokamaks. Not yet sure where stellarators fall in this spectrum of fusion energy. Maybe those designs will be greatly helped by the high T magnets Tokamak Energy has developed?

Hope they can make this work

Fusion is the future !!

To me its the relatively small size that makes the most sense. Better for iterative performance increases and fine tuning.
