fusion power : yet another new approach, or The Silver Bullet (finally)?..


worth taking a look at :)
what do you all think?


The only thing that produces known, sustainable fusion is a mass 10 times the size of Jupiter, the smallest known star.

Shining lazers doesn't work.
Pressure doesn't work

Outside of gravity strong enough to collapse atoms together, so far NADA. Doubt this is any different. But thanks for the link....

It sure is something to look at.

But I already know that if and when it becomes a viable source to meet America's energy needs, the libs will find a reason to oppose it.

Their goal has never been to "save the world", but to tell other people what to do and run their lives. Scarcity of energy- and everything else- is the key to the leftist ideology.

Natural Gas used to be saluted as "clean fuel", until Fracking technology advanced to the point that we could actually produce enough of it.

The sun's mass is 1000 times Jupiter's and it is far from the smallest known star.


Astronomers have reported an incredible stellar discovery. Actually, they've reported two incredible discoveries: they have found the smallest star ever and it orbits its companion with the smallest known period for binary stars at just 20.5 minutes.

The star is part of a binary system that has been called TMTS J0526 and is located 2,760 light-years from Earth. J0526B is a hot subdwarf star and we are not exaggerating when we say it is tiny. It has a radius just seven times that of Earth. To compare, Jupiter’s radius is 11.2 times Earth’s own, Saturn's is 9.5, and Neptune's is four times Earth's. This is the smallest star ever discovered by volume, and yet it is still a star. Packed into that small volume is about one-third of the mass of the Sun so this tiny star weighs about 350 times that of Jupiter.
