Harnessing the energy of stars... in a bottle | Fuse 

I did not see where or how Fuse will actually harness the energy to ultimately create electricity, just a lot of talk on being able to create multiple reactions.

Vahid seems like such a nice guy and mentor to that young team! some questions about the video: 1) it would be nice to have a more clear description of what Fuse's technology is. there's 3 narrative lines here and a lot of what they're saying is about fusion in general 2) JC is quoting that 1 terawatt of power at 5:15 acting like it's more power than what multiple cities needs, but it produces it only in a few nanoseconds right? power is kind of meaningless when stated that way. if it only fires once per second then that's closer to a kilowatt on average per generator. seems like a pretty intentional way of saying things...

Hey there man, I think you are doing something amazing here. These people you interview are the next generation of founders who change the world. Those breaking the paradigm. You inspire others to do the same and that is worth something.

This was not explained well in the video but the device that they are demonstrating is not the fusion reactor itself. It is basically the power supply which creates the pulses to trigger the reaction. So the 1 TW is power input, not output. See Wikipedia here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator And here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetized_liner_inertial_fusion

I'm glad they're working on it, but I don't think it matters if China is successful first or not. What matters is that someone can make fusion commercially viable. That would be a changing point for the whole world.

slick but light of facts.

Babe wake up new S3 video dropped

The real future of energy is geothermal. Please make a video about that, many new companies starting up. Drilling tech has improved so much, such as plasma drilling.

1:41 I have a good vibe about this guy. something about him has main character vibe

I would love an update video in the future in case interesting developments take place. Right now it's too early to make a judgment.

We have a working fusion reactor a few light seconds from us. We should focus our energy on better power collection and storage.

I always saw fusion projects as a scam where technical people scam nontechnical people (which is amazing, because it is usually the opposite, for example in politics and companies). Let's just hope this one will give us real net energy. Which has yet to happen.

Jason, which camera setup do you use?

I hope they succeed

z pinchin? lets go!!

Great videos man!

Fission is fusion that actually works

This is pretty much the same concept as General Fusion

We are still 50 maybe 100 years away from using it to create electricity no matter how optimistic you are. That’s just the facts. And to be honest thats a very short time scale considering the implications of fusion power generation. Took some 40-50 years to build the Giza pyramid. We as a society need to be more patient and do things for the sake of the human race not for individual achievements or profits

Will we be able to buy tiny ones that can power a truck?

Fusion has been 20 years away for 60 years

Generating the implosion isn't the hard part, the hard part is designing a reaction chamber that can extract useful amounts of the reaction energy (more than was used to create the implosion) and be robust enough to withstand the extremely high energy particle bombardment to have a reasonable lifespan.

There are 43 fusion companies in the world: 25 in US 6 in EU 3 in UK 3 in Japan 2 in China 1 in New Zealand 1 in Australia 1 in Canada 1 in Israel

I've worked at NIF and wish FUSE the best!

If what they say has been proven and can be duplicated, one power plant for North America, within five years. All of the coal burning power plants can be shut down, and within a day, air pollution will decrease by 90%.

As someone VERY interested in fusion finding success and works in the fission industry, I appreciate your coverage of their concept. Fusion is such a hard problem that I personally think that the wealth of research and proven models around magnetic confinement (tokamaks). Some questions I was till left with at the end of the video: 1. What is their fuel cycle? Tritium deuterium? The one engineer mentioned something about a fission blanket? 2. How will this a pinch machine ultimately harness power? Direct conversion from plasma to capacitors? Traditional working fluid turbine combination. (It seems like they are simply trying to perfect and scale the drivers for a next generation a pinch right now). Anyone who can walk out of their garage like the Wright Brothers and have solved the problem I will commend and celebrate! But my vote is for the slow steady progress being made on tokamaks. Cheers though. Keep up the great content. (P.S. one pet peeve, nuclear fusions and fission are not magic split/combine and get energy. You are literally CONVERTING mass to energy, hence E = MC^2 where m is the change in mass of the goes in versus comes out!)

Im missing something, so you can create massive pulses but how do you translate that to supply of a continuous source of current?

Watched the whole video but still have no idea what the company does.

الصين نجحت في تحقيق الاندماج النووي وسيكون هناك استثمار تجاري قريبا وايضا مفاعلات الثوريوم أيضا تمكنت من إنجازها وسوف يكون استثمار تجاري لها ❤

5:20 I love this transition. The leather jacket guy is telling you the dreamful Bitcoin-paradise and then the stern guy tells the facts

I LOVE that JC's shirt says "star builder"

how does it get the power out? steam?

Very interesting indeed! I worked at UKSPA and the work being done there is also incredible. By solving these different parts to the puzzle is vital for the success of this technology. I look forward to seeing how you progress with testing!

0:03 1 terawatt(1E12 watts) * a few nano seconds(say 5E-9 seconds) = 5000 joules, Amazing, they can warm my coffee up a bit. What a charlatan 0:36 so this company is going to give us fusion. but they cant get a real flashlight?

I feel like I didn't actually learn anything about what makes them different from other fusion startups. Just a lot of figures that seemed misleading and trying to paint a pretty picture for scaling this up in the future. Would have liked to see more explanation about their technology. Not the "3 x more power than the whole world for a few nano seconds" that's such a ridiculous and misleading quote which makes it useless to say unless you are just trying to impress somebody that has no idea what you are talking about. Regardless, I hope they succeed in whatever it is they are trying to do. We do need fusion to be commercially viable ASAP.

Is it weird this was uploaded like 1 year after the Titan sub implosion which also has the same name of this machine?

*neutrons - not neurons. it's not an S³ without a typo

how long do you think until they are bought out by a weapons company?

So, what’s Fuse source of energy?

Where’s the money at if it’s limitless energy.

💥💥

I love that there are now multiple different companies working on the tech. Personally, I think this is THE most important field of research for humanity until we have reactors delivering energy to the grid. We cannot slow down, we must speed up greatly. So, I wish ALL the teams working on fusion research all the best and I want to thank them for all their work.

These are good videos @S3. I'm always amused at the comments "but they didnt explain it to my satisfaction! It might not work!! Why can't I buy one today??" when the series is about forward-looking technology startups. If only one of these 40 companies "makes it", that will still be something.

You should do a piece on Lanzatech Love your documentaries ❤

They keep saying 1TW, but what’s the Q? It’s has to be over 10 to be viable and 15 to be commercially competitive

It will all blow up . This thing looks like a cheap submarine . We all know where that went ....🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂

When you pay money to have a promo video made about high power pulses, then realize noone involved in the process can spell Terawatt correctly😂

Meh not convinced. What will they cook in there?

Holy F just having to deal with sandboxing this problem is hard enough, let alone having no real references

I guess they are still using deuterium only and that means neutrons which require a shielding wall.

5:54 Fusion: powered by Javascript 🤣

01:07 hello Adam😏

I'm proud of you❤

is it a marketing video ??

Funny many talk about fusion but none really have anything to show most just use it to make money because if something gets hyped up its stock value rises then they can sell their stock and get alot of money... Fusion is still a long way away

Looks to be 20 years away. ;)

I am pretty sure that Fuse will probably use multiple of these reactors to make enough electricity. People don't understand that fusion can't be constant. But this a huge leap for fusion. It is small for the size of power it can put out.

why not harness renewable energy. Solar , wind, ocean waves without any safety concerns.

first

I love china
