Fusion continues to be hopeless

 

Fusion hype continues to be as 'magical' as polar vortex fairies.  Now, they are trying to inject the fuel into a plasma.  Good luck with that.

I laid out the physics a while ago.  One fusion atom blows the whole thing apart.  Basically, two tritium atoms have to glue together to form helium.  This is a ridiculously energetic process.  They have only done it with 'fusion bombs' or tiny specks blowing up under intense pressure from lasers, etc.  This cannot scale.  You cannot cannot have little bombs going uff, and again, one reaction, one bomb.

The good old Sun achieves fusion by severe convection.  The hydrogen dives down, and fuses in a 'quasi state'.  Then it comes up again, and completes the reaction.  This is done near the surface.  This is my theory, and mine alone.  Nobody does anything here.  Too much money in the phoney fusion quest.

We have to duplicate this for fusion at scale.  Not happening, since we don't do the basic physics.  I still envision some sort of massive compression, and then a release in a jet.  Wake me up from my 'Big Sleep' when they get somewhere on this.

ps. I think 20 years from now, we will have a trick of 'entrapment' with a molecular diamond casing around hydrogen.  This will allow the slight delay needed for a fusion torch.
