Fusion Power Explained – Future or Failure

Dyson Sphere/Swarm is the way to go.

Guys this ear 2023 a nuclear fission engine made more energy than was put in, so it is possible.

Japan has Tritium. Do store the tritium from them and use it for fusion power. Fine tune, the design using AI, ML to increase the energy output like a combined design of laser and magnetic confinement.Interconnect the electrical grids of close nations together and sell power to other nations where not enough is generated. African nations should be able to do it first using solar energy. Fusion energy projects should be used in India. China is already on fusion project. Fusion has a lot of potential to reduce all types of pollution and enable greener transportation.

Just 10 billion dollars?! The US spends more on its army every year!

China took notes from the “can we make a sun” part

Lunar Light Energy

No amount of energy and resources can satisfy Human greeds. We need to limit ourselves. I don't think sponsor of research and development are interested in well-being and humanity. Their interests are business /money only. When aims and objectives are business. Well being of society are by chance or byproduct never desired.

Yeah sun on earth , more like Hell on earth .

The Dragon Ball Z and other anime references thrown into these videos is a real turn off. :-/
This is about science, not fiction.

Effin scientists!!! Redirect power from hydroelectric power to power the laser to start compression on a super cold mass of hydrogen. It's a start. Or creat a electromagnetic accretion disc by using super electrified mercury in a gyroscopic centrifuge. Just thinking .

To everyone thinking that scientists achieved a net energy gain with fusion: NO, THEY DIDN'T. If you are referring to the laser-stuff: they got 3 MJ of fusion energy out of 2 MJ of laser energy, BUT they needed 300 MJ to set up the laser and other systems, so no gain there.

Excellent overview! The problem is energy transfer. We don’t currently have an efficient way to extract energy from a nuclear reaction. Even fission based reactors rely on heat transfer to power steam turbines, to then generate electricity at a huge loss of power from that being released from the reactor itself, and with fusion it takes more energy to start the reaction and maintain it than what we can extract from it on the output. So it’s a net loss of power until someone comes up with a much better method for converting a nuclear reaction into usable electric power.

❤❤

I love the occasional anime references that causally pop up from time to time in Kurzgesagt videos.

Sounds like fun to me and maybe we can learn some other things along the way

Prepare or Die

In 5,000,000,000 years the sun will die

Клевый ролик

good news, now the fusion that gives more energy than used is possible

Half future, half failure

The math for fusion doesn't add up The field containing the energy is stronger than the energy that's contained

I just watched a video on the reactor that melted down in Japan.

They spew out tritium from not only their reactor but all nuclear. Fission reactors make tridium water.

Why don't we just use that?

WE NEED AN UPDATE FOR THIS. US-NIF ALREADY MADE MORE ENERGY THAN D AND T CONSUMED!

I Say Cut Our Losses !

fusion can make lasers. lasers is in a certain a lot. you know what that game is? just shapes and beats inserted

I dont like the concept of commercial anything on the moon, let alone a mine. I feel like thats just using modern technology to move backwards. A source of energy lasting thousands of years relying on a mine isn't the solution, that's how we sustain fission.

1986?

can you update this video like.. tomorrow?

Than how's it better than fission, if it takes more energy to make fusion than they get out of it? They say it's like thousands times more energy dense than fission ,but they can't even get it running... doesn't make sense.

We must mine the moon NOW

lol is that the Titanic song lol?

Moving and shedding and vibrating electrons… magnetic topics

The energy of plasma… fascinating.

This video made me realize how scientifically consistent Doc Ock was in Spider-Man 2

Say that you lived on the dark side of the moon. Your solar and gamma ray radiation would be at its minimum. You lived in a controlled environment with optimal O2 levels, sufficient diet and sleep.. Imagine how much longer a human could live.

I don't think oil companies would ever let this happen

"There are not enough batteries to store sunlight for cloudy days yet."

Dawg, just make a solar tower that goes above the clouds.

I have a question. Could a dual fusion-fission reactor be viable? Just curious

Every fusion vs 👉plastic 👉ex🌏eco?

Seeing goku in a video on this channel is goated😂😂😂

Video about superconductors.

10 billion dollars spend to builds those kinds of useful energy resources isn't a lot compared to what countries like america spends on things like military and author things that's don't really matters for humans on the long terms so i thing that's this will be a good next step for humanity to improve it's technology

piccolo and goku fusion hahahaha

So it's just Fire 2

Nuclear fission it's still a good choice tho. It produces a LOT of clean, low cost energy and the "nuclear waste" it's very little and almost completely recyclable. It's also very safe, reactors can handle earthquakes and tsunamis, and so are the cask containing waste, just look on yt all the test they put it through: trains, missiles, fire.

Coming here in 2023 after watching Oppenheimer 🙌
