Title: Germany nuclear fusion
Post by: Sparta on 2016-02-04, 20:32:06
 i kinda confused with this article.

is germany succesfully produced  the first hydrogen plasma fusion in the world  .

or is it the first hydrogen plasma fusion in their stellar generator ?

As much as I know there's no nuclear fusion yet.

If you don't count the sun… :)
Controlled fusion for energy generation has been "30 years away" for almost 70 years now. I'd welcome it. (Wouldn't we all?) But I'm afraid practical control of gravity needs to come first; and that's not very likely.)

sun gravity replication is impractical.

as i see they use different methodes  to fuse the mats .

something like donut  reactor .

so what's NIF doing ?

aren't they made any successful hydrogen fusion yet ?

i just found they use lasers to burn the deuterium and tritium .

and ignition , and lasers again ..

cant find anything related to succesfull hydrogen fusion records .

or is the information   classified ?

So many things haven been "30 years away" for almost 70 years now.
And so many things have been for 30 years ago while the powers that be keeps on saying it doesn't exist...
