As a free software enthusiast, thinking about the monopoly NVIDIA still holds on the GPU market, while listening to their success throughout the video, makes me so sad. For almost a decade NVIDIA prevented any open-source driver for their GPUs, by using digital signatures for authentication, that are checked in the GPU hardwware directly. Their way to ensure only NVIDIA can control their new GPU market
Commercial fission energy production has been with us for 70 years and yet we haven't managed to miniaturize it to make it portable. Fusion is not yet figured out and you're already trying to make it "smaller than a washing machine"? Keep dreaming buddy!
Many disasters being warned for his country but still they don't believe in God and instead erase their traditional ancestors and now China become a Monster Giant in Asia who wants to acquire everything...that's him.
A more grounded engineering explanation as to why this prolly won’t work: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JurplDfPi3U.htmlsi=9QC9gEfCZ5vDv4zR Essentially (assuming their confinement approach works): 1) They don’t address the tritium breeding problem (how to make your fuel) 2) Most of the fast fusion neutrons can will pass thru 6 inches of heat exchanger, so most of your energy will be lost + you’ll make everything around the device radioactive … (this is why most fusion experiments only run for short burst or/and have extremely thick and bulky shielding) 3) The engineering gain needs to more than 1, which prolly requires a scientific gain of more than 20 (so you need confinement better than anything ever
curious how these guys will compete with the new Rolls Royce reactor... i could see their advertised usecases being more attractive to the US market if its from rolls royce than this new startup.
Dude i want you to know i appreciate the difference in content. Like its all extremely interesting and well done. I have so much information in my mind about nuclear and rockstar games!
Recommend checking General Atomics in Torrey Pines. They’re the leader in Fusion technology. The majority of ITER uses the patents or direct manufacturing
Yeah sure, some small startup is going to conquer nuclear fusion. It'll definitely be them. They'll have commercial fusion in ten years!* *For the zoomers and gen alpha in the audience, this is a commonly told joke because nuclear fusion has been only ten years away, since before I was born.
It's such a shame how much fear mongering has negatively impacted the progress of Nuclear energy so badly. (I'd almost even assume the oil companies would be very happy about this?) At this point tho Modern nuclear energy options really should be one of the main things we utilize in collaboration with other alternative energy sources all over the world. Especially with all the advancements we now have. Our knowledge around safety measures is much more understood. We've also seen vast improvements in engineering, material science, technology, robotics, etc. They are all much more advanced now. This power source is the best option to improve our environment & will really help lower our emissions. The only things holding us back is legislation, fear mongering & past trauma that's affected us from our past (which is understandable but we really gotta give it a chance to see if it can prove it has progressed & improved) Did they outlaw electricity or oil, coal when things went wrong in the early days of those fields? No! They kept going and understood things usually are bumpy and difficult in the beginning and kept going even tho those sources negatively impacted our environment. A huge issue is government BLOCKING any sort of progression from happening. We'd be lucky to see the slightest projects approved or finished with-in the next 100 years.. It's very annoying to see how much we have gotten in our own way when it comes to improving or advancing certain things. Instead we let fear, money, man made "required legal processes" Stop us from doing anything other than wind, solar, oil, natural gas, damming our rivers, mining for minerals... It's very frustrating because we should be able to use all these options in collaboration. If we actually wanted to improve anything. That's what we need to do and stop letting so much potential get blocked from ever occurring in the first place.. It's really irritating. I wish certain people didn't make this so "complicated and difficult" Why would any reasonable person want to block progression? Another thing we are seeing is many places struggling with a lack of water. Strangely we have created so many systems that run off water right into the ocean as quick as possible. We are not utilizing it, we aren't adapting or using our ingenuity. Yet we keep hearing in the news how important water is, so you'd think we'd adjust our systems so they can utilize what rain water certain area's receives? Idk why so many places like California let a lot of their water run off right back out into the ocean? Something else I wish we would do is put effort into reintroducing the importance of wetlands. The importance of bringing back things like Beaver's in certain area's. Beavers are keystone species and can enhance an entire ecosystem. It's very beneficial to have wetland habitats around. Just because we "build modern cities" we shouldn't lose this important aspect of our habitats. They are beneficial in so many ways. We should get rid of a lot of Dams. It could bring back salmon runs for example and it allows for important nutrients and sediment flow to occur again that is supposed to happen in natural water ways. We really could improve aspects of our environment if we didn't dam up every river & alter so many of our water systems. I know it's stigmatized but I really think modern nuclear energy options is our best option going forward and if we did that it could really improve our situation with our climate. The more i learn about our power grid, the more i realize that modern nuclear energy options are our best option. Small form reactors, LFTRs, Thorium Reactors, molten salt reactors. Utilizing our advanced technology, Improved engineering & material science. Utilizing our greater understanding of safety & well made designs. We have so much more advanced computer technology & robotics that can be used. It feels like even tho tons of advancement has occurred with engineering designs, safety measures, etc. It still doesn't matter to most people. It's like most people are ingrained with a natural negative response when talking about nuclear energy. It's a bummer because i truly believe that our best option for our future is to start utilizing Modern advanced nuclear energy options in our electrical grid. It's just proving to be challenging to get politicians to get on board. It will really allow places to be much more energy independent. Less reliant on fossil fuels. They'll have efficient, stable electrical grids and the rest of the grid could experiment with alternative power sources, power desalination plants, etc. We need to heal from the trauma of our past. See & learn that those things only happened solely from Us not understanding what we were doing when it came to nuclear energy at the time. We didn't have advanced enough technology, material science, engineering, safety measures, understanding of how to go about everything, etc. This source of energy will greatly help the world improve towards the future and lowering emissions. More than anything else could, while also providing a very stable electrical grid system. Currently we have alternative energy options but the majority of our grid is powered off of fossil fuels and emission producing sources of energy. We will be so much better going forward commiting to modern advanced nuclear energy options. In my opinion it's been so irritating that we've taken this "You can make a difference" approach. When it just plays with people's emotions. This issue is so much bigger than individual people. We need countries/states to get on board. It's the only way we can make even the Slightest difference. We've already waited too long. Everyday is a day wasted & we haven't even made a dent in improving our situation.
I'd be more confident they'll get this working if their tech was the equivalent of hydro power, but for avalanche prone areas and relied on snow falling on their generator.
Everytime John's new video appears on my feed. I would shout and click into and watch it. 🎉 freakin excited for your videos, John. Shoutout from Malaysia!
U.S. altruism involves providing technology to the U.S. military to terrorize helpless countries, and then offering the same technology under the guise of altruism.
