Germany's New Nuclear Fusion Reactor SHOCKS The Entire Industry! 

I'm getting really tired of these machine learning compiled articles taking neuron space away from actual real scientific journalism

A "quantum jump" - always makes me smile when journalists use that hackneyed phrase when its true meaning could not be further than what they think they are implying.

If Gauss Fusion generated a Gauss Fusion gigawatt for everytime "Gauss Fusion" was mentioned, Gauss Fusion would power the whole of the Gauss Fusion EU! Gauss Fusion!

If they could harness all the hot air about fusion promises, then we would have enough hot air to heat all homes and power all industries!!!😮😊

I think my favorite thing is even though we’re about to harness the power of stars, it’s still going to be used to boil water.

The forever 8 to 10 years project. We are always 8 to10 years away from a real, working, economically feasible fusion reactor. It's been going on for many decades now. I confidently predict, that in 2050 we'll be only 8 to 10 years away from a fusion reactor breakthrough.

Germans have been known for their science, engineers and innovation.

If anyone can crack this problem I'd put my money on the Germans.

There's a massive fusion reactor sitting 90 or so million miles away we can use right now.

Flux capacitor is all they need.

Fusion is the promise of unlimited energy and will guarantee we don't run out of helium to fill those celebratory balloons.

It's always 20 years away

If horses had wings…

We will be lucky to make it to next year .

Gravity is the one major stall to fusion reactors and less than a handful of people are working on figuring out gravity.

Tokamak reactors got a main problem, the ever rising current in its coils. This lead to a shutdown all few minutes with the loss of all heated plasma. You have to restart the Tokamak just to have the next shutdown a few minutes later. This result in a very bad efficiency, and most likely to a fast degration of its internal hull. A Stellerator do not got this problem. And is therefore from the concept superior to the Tokamak.

That thing is 9 years old already. Time flies when you aren't having fun.

it certainly hasn't shocked the power grid.. more like drained it.

Could this technology be used in vacuum cleaners, I see a lot of potential here.

Doesn't surprise me. Germany still makes appliances that will last a lifetime or longer.. How many toasters, coffee pots, and microwave have you bought if your life time? Not in Germany.. Buy once works amazing and enjoy forever

Wow engineers are solving problems I didn’t even know was existing yet . Way to go and good job

The oil mafia will never let that happen

.......and still 20years away.

They should try to make the fusion-reactor selfsufficient..!

Another DOA fusion reactor. The issue with a compact Tokamak design is the plasma scattering problem as denser plasma causes too much scattering preventing ions from reaching the necessary collisions speeds to breach the Coulomb barrier for fusion. A lot of the input energy is just wasted on ions getting scattered instead of fusion. Anyone that has a basic understanding of plasma & fusion knows this design will never work. This is just another very expensive jobs program, but has nothing to do with developing fusion power. Another issue is the the use of HTS (High temperature superconductors) which quench (lose super conductivity) when exposed to high neutron flux. Thus making it impossible to maintain magnetic confinement with fusion reactions. Third is that Plasma generates magnetic fields which interact with the magnetic confinement field causing it to become unstable & collapse. This has been the primary problem with all magnetic confinement reactors. No one has managed to sustain a the magnetic confinement field for more than about 5 minutes before the field collapses. The higher the plasma density the worse the stability problem becomes. That's why ITER is huge; Very low plasma pressure with a large volume so there are a large number of fusion reactions for the given lower plasma density. That said ITER is also a Dead end & a huge waste of money. Even if ITER was successful it will be too costly to use. A real commerical reactor based upon the ITER design would cost well over $100B and cost about $2B per day to operate using tritium fuel. I don't see how any rate payer would want to spend $10 to $30 per kwh from this.

It’s gotta be something in the water. Without Germans and their engineers, where would we be

I would love to see them take over, any old fission sites, that would be great if we could reuse the land and security assets.

CONGRATS GERMANY!!

What I admire about these scientists is that they are willing to invest their entire career into a single experiment or device. Sometimes they invest many years knowing they will be long retired before the fruits of their labor is coming out.

Yeah but the people that own the tech will always charge us a fortune for the energy. Only when machines become very small and can be stand alone or can be owned and ran by smaller communities can we have truly cheap energy. Each house/flat should be generating its own energy by now.

We already have a huge fusion reactor called the sun. just use that energy

To think scientists and technologists are creating the conditions that exist in the core of a star like our Sun That sort of heat and pressure that are needed to make hydrogen ions fuse together temperature of 2 million degrees it’s all mind boggling cutting edge technology to say the least

NIF/Holram and Zeepinch look very Star Trek

Yea, yea, yea! I think the Jetsons are laughing!

wonder how long till one can fit in the palm of my hand

Ironman is now a reality. Now got to make a smaller reactor like in what Iron man made.

It is always ten more years down the road.

I am confident that this technology will overcome the seemingly insurmountable unknowns in the next 5 to 5000 years. /sarcasm

so basically they are building impossible perpetum mobile? where more energy will be produced than used on it...

Well, time to start up my company - Vault - Tec !

Germany beats the International effort, sounds like someone isn't sharing their secrets.

Dont forget, we are basically using the heat to run a steam vent of this nuclear reaction.

no wonder cost of electricity is through the roof in Germany :D

Germany has a quantum Russian gas problem, they are building a High Field Gas Confinement Gigareactor.

These machines are all incredibly complicated. Being machines means they will break down. Got to be an incredibly complicated and expensive fix

4 topomaks and they still don't have a power plant.Dreamers with that money you can build a fision uranium reactor.

Hold on! I still haven’t finished my deuterium+tritium mine

This could power our first Starship.

Fusion reactors ill never work outside a star. You'll always have to pump more energy in than you'll ever get out of it.

i am still waiting for Cheap power bill..

And they still haven´t got more energy than it hast been used to operate the fusion experiments

I can see the nuclear fusion reactor comming in neext 30 years.

Laiiiiiyyyas!!! IT HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!!!! GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY!!!!!

Thanks for posting

The Germans are a very intelligent peoples! With German minds Japanese minds Indian minds and the American’s uhh money & massive economy will get it done. Once we get this tech up and running at scale we will enjoy powerful clean energy that doesn’t harm the environment!

We already have a clean, limitless energy source, it is known as the sun.

Use HE3. Mine Jupiter for it using habitats.

E equals M times C raised to the power of 2 💀

Still 30 years away.

Sounds like space travel is coming soon boys and girls...and they...

Looks too complicated to sustain. Gaz UK

Cold Fusion are Future ✨

I'm sad that I wont live long enough to benefit from cheap energy.

Just invent fusion tech and give us tremendous amounts of energy 😢😢😢😢😢

Aye Right Mate, Enjoy your night!

Nice video , thanks :)

Let’s hope it works an not just a test❤❤❤❤

Doesn’t come close to Helion Energy’s plasma reactor

Important factors to achieve cold fusion are classified. Four years ago the Canadian Military Chief Scientist came to my home city for a 1 hour meeting (in uniform). He was there to encourage me to continue following several Military publications. He assured me cold fusion DID exist and certain key methods would be released soon.

If they master this technology they can turn the artic into a tropical paradise.

It will turn into the worlds largest stove to boil water

Austrian Painter is really proud of you. Make sure you use it correctly

Tokamak!

Soon traveling trough Milkway!

Back to the future !

Promises, promises

Germany with nuclear power I wonder how this is going to go

GRATITUDE 🥰🩵🩵🩵

Gauss Fusion missed the memo on DEI hiring

Just pursue zero point energy and save all that money

just listen to to one of the leading scientists of germany for fusion tech, hartmut zohm, t oget a more realistic picture about it all.

Y cant u collide neutral nutrons to produce Deutrium atom with electron

Seems like it will need lots of power to run. Seems like a dead end.

When are the zombies coming?

I trust the germans with this tech way more than i do the chinese.

It doesn't matter, you will still have to pay for your share.

I don't think it's appropriate to say it shocked anything because it didn't make any electricity.

Always 30 years away

Another outdated design intended to make steam . These designs were chosen when we did not have the powerful computer tech we have today which enables us to use reverse field configuration which does not rely on ignition and produces electricity directly and not by making steam.

Tokamac 😮

So cool to finally see a working fusion reactor that can run for a long time.

I think it's funny because anyone on the planet who "negs" on the deal gets to answer to yours truly.

Another use for this device could be as a cigarette lighter, a small hole in the side for the insertion of a cigarette should be worked on, obviously it would be a fixed device as it would be impractical to carry this around with you.

I think China has the lead

there are several other designs to produce fusion, especially temporary ones, in the US for example. And they are working very well so far.

E= M x C squared

So if they build batteries that can store power in large quantities from solar then why do we need these massive powerstations as everyhome could power itself

If if if we achieve......not yetbthen

ZPM!

This is sad!!!
