I find it odd they are going with a Tokamak design which has been tested for decades and has issues that require complicated engineering to solve Magnetic confinement of the plasma being the massive one I have to wonder why they are not going with a Stellarator design Maybe their engineering and science isn't up to it
You should let them know, they might need your expertise.
could be advancements like this that now make it possible https://interestingengineering.com/energy/china-achieves-fusion-milestone-neural-networks
Isn't fusion power not as clean as people say it is?
The Practicalities of actual fusion reactors make this seem a lot less appealing than I think I grew up hearing.
I'm happy to see china continue to pump resources into their clean energy mix, but at the same time it feels like this entire concept might end up being more of a meme than we think.
Man, I wish we (Canada) were that ambitious. I know lemmy hates Elon Musk but I really admire his ambition in technical pursuits. I'm not saying we need more Elon Musks, but we should pursue more grand projects.
These guys are Canadian and I've always thought their tech seemed really creative and novel
Oh nice, fellow Canadians doing the good work.
"His" All he does is ketamine and buy-up companies that already exist. His workers have all the ambition, however misplaced.
probably said will be ready in 20-30 years and got mistranslated
Probably pulled that out of your ass.
fusion power will be ready in 20-30 years is a decades old meme
