https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c80e86d1kl3o>'Nuclear fusion prototype will be 'UK's Nasa moment'A nuclear fusion energy plant being built in Nottinghamshire has been described as the "UK's Nasa moment" as it races to become the first of its type in the world.The experimental work, based at the decommissioned West Burton A power station near Retford, is aimed at creating a new energy source.The project, called Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP), was showcased at a launch event on Tuesday in Gainsborough, just over the border in Lincolnshire.Nuclear fusion recreates the same process that powers the sun and if plans are approved, backers said the project was expected to be constructed by 2040.>BRO WE'LL HAVE CLEAN ENERGY BY 2040, EVEN THOUGH WE ALREADY SOLVED THAT PROBLEM WITH FISSION ENERGY

>>475720567>nottinghamshireCan I get a bong pronunciation guide? How many syllables do I leave out?
>>475720567niggaz have been trying to get this shit working since the 60's or something and the longest they've been able to keep it running is 100 seconds or so
>>475720567we have never been closer to mastering fusion power generationand we get closer every day.i expect we'll see it in my lifetime.
>>475720777It's pronounced Not-ing-um-shuh with the emphasis on the first syllable.
>>475720567>>'Nuclear fusion prototype will be 'UK's Nasa moment'China has already beaten us to it
>>475720567>Nottinghamshirelol more like nothinghappenshire
>>475720956>shuhFucking brown cunt
>>475720832>masteringits going to blow up and poison millions, probably melt a hole into then core of the earth.
>>475720567Year 40 in a row of fusion on the horizon.
>>47572056730 more years
>>475720567Wouldn't nuclear fusion generate massive amounts of seethe from environmentalists though?
>>475720567Don't they understand we're in the gradual collapse dystopian timeline?
2040 for a prototype?lollmao
>>475721285It depends if it will melt a quarter of the Country into the Ocean or not but environMENTALists shouldn't have an issue with a reactor that doesn't produce waste.
>>475720567They will fail. There's a reason why ITER is delayed till 2035.
>>475721004I trust the Chinese.
>>475720567LOL fucking retarded jews couldn't figure out fusion white people had to save the world again.
>>475721626and the reason is nobody in the "scientific community" wants the project to endthe science is well-known by now, hire a proper engineering firm to do it on a cost plus basis and there will be an end to the horror
>>475721901I don't trust Jews.
>>475722367look at that picture US anonsunderstand THAT is what the right to bear arms and the castle doctrine protect you fromno dirty kike can just walk into your house and claim it as theirs
>>475721626>ITERthat's only for "testing"
>>475720777Not-ting-um-sheer
>>475720567>EVEN THOUGH WE ALREADY SOLVED THAT PROBLEM WITH FISSION ENERGYFission is much cleaner than alternative sources but the waste produced is still very radioactive and environmentally harmful, and there's no feasible way to recycle it or dispose of it besides sticking it in lead boxes and hiding them underground(Theoretically) Fusion power just produces helium plasma which then cools into helium, no radioactivity involved. Granted in order to make the plasma you'll need tritium, which is highly radioactive and currently can't be efficiently bred.
>>475720777check'd$20 says you can't pronounce Worcestershire correctly.
>>475720567>NASA momentso it's fake and gay
>>475720567the west will never again have any nasa moment because they destroyed the place that made it possible
>>475720956My guess internally wasn't too bad. Ty. Was legit asking not 'taking the piss' as you might say
>>475720567What companies should I invest in if I unironically believe this will happen in my lifetime?>ask /biz/lol no
>>475721070one of the properties of fusion that makes it attractiveis that if something goes wrongthe reaction stops itself.part of the reason we don't have fusion generators yet is that it's hard to create the conditions for fusion to take place.if you don't get those conditions exactly right, fusion won't occur.it's a very safe technology.
>>475723119>Granted in order to make the plasma you'll need tritiumAFAIK it's possible to replace tritium with helium-3, but it would require even more energy
>>475725133>fuck up turbulence control (easy to do, just be nanoseconds off on your timing)>fusion gets just a bit TOO effective>FLASH>you now have a few dozen dead mooks and a $billions facility that will glow in the dark for the next 5000 years or so
>NASA moment
Is never gonna happen, or maybe it will if they figure out how to charge people, maybe that's the reason why they make the process so expensive, instead of cheaper alternative for free energy out there.
>>475720567Lol, they must need funding.
>>475724730It's at a research level still as there isn't even a concept proven to yield net overall energy positivity so there is no commercialization. For investing I'd save my money lol but if you insist find a massive energy corporation that you think is likely to push towards fusion if/when a concept and method is proven.
>>475720567>another tokamak test costing billionsWhen will they learn?
>>475720567>THE NUCLEAR EPICENTER OF NOTTINGHAMSHIREmeanwhile the chinks are building private fusion reactors with genshin moneylmao
>>475721285well our environmentalists are actually paid by the oil companies to be as annoying as possible so probably
NASA is fake, we live under a dome, I fucked your mom in astral plane
>>475720567>Create infinite power in order to ensure the infinite proliferation of Pakistanis and Pajeets that will inherit and ultimately brick all of those systemsThe last gift of the white man before disappearing
>>475720567Imagine the DEI paki trying to make it work lol
>>475720567Dood, that's it! They're gonna fucking nuke the isles, dood!
>>475720567>it is like nasaThey do not even hide it anymore.
>>475720777not in ham sure
>>475720567Let me guess, they just need another quick infusion of 10B and its gonna happen for real this time? Well sorry, but thats earmarked for jewlensky already.
Most electricity comes from the potential difference between the atmosphere and the ground.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzzudRKsYy4
>>475720777They probably say nosh-ur.bongs are tricky fucks when it comes to extra letters in their words.
>>475720567I remember 20 years ago when Brit politicians said nuclear plants would take 20 years to complete so it’s not worth it. And 50 years ago shitlibs axed Nixon’s plan to build a shitload of nuclear plants.
I’m willing to bet they have it already, they’ve been 2 years out since the 70s, but since it would be practically free and clean energy they couldn’t charge people as much. Can’t have that
>>475720567UKMANDATORY MINORITIES OPERATE IT[SUPAH-MEGA-GIGA-NIGGAH-SPLOSION]
>>475720567Nasa isn't a moment. It's an institution. What do you think we do in this country?
>>475720567Such a long scam. Amazing how they have kept it going all these years.Fusion doesn't exist. The Sun is electric. That is why we rotate around in on a plane, right angle forces. The Sun is not consumed."Fusion" power is total nonsense.
>>475720567so what does that mean, that they'll lie and commit fraud like nasa does?
>>475725133>it's a very safe technologyWith respect, it is not a technology. Nothinghappenshire. There are no working examples.Yes you can fuse elements with enough electrical discharge at high enough current. No you are not producing energy.
>>475728658>What do you think we do in this country?We don't know.
>>475724006I used that shit all the time I know how it's said but can't write it lmao. My mom was good at those names.

>>475728885That's also why there is unlimited amounts of electricity in the atmosphere. You just need to draw it down.
Wustershir, aktchlee.
>>475730178Yes, you need some height. 500v per yard IIRC.But low amplitude so difficult to gather. A rounded collector might slowly gather some but would be a lot more in a storm
>>475730459Most people don't know that pylons have no return path. It's a one-way transmission. I remember when the lights would fluctuate during heavy thunderstorms.
>>475721004>'UK's Nasa moment'so fake and gay, just like space
>>475730798As if anybody cares at this point. The country has already been destroyed.
>>475720567>Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP)south korea and china are both pretty advanced in tokamaks. they can get hot for a relatively long time but are far from being worthwhile.
>>475721016>nothingNothingShamShire lmao
>>475730603Yep. Is AC so you can do one-way. The Earth is a big enough capacitor.If I had a power station and could fiddle the cycles so there was a net flow, I could make an earthquake as it eventually built up enough charge the far end to force a return path. No one would miss one cycle per 10,000 but it would build up.

>>475720567>Britain invents groundbreaking technology>gvoernment does nothing to help>creates environment that makes it hard to get business off the ground>Americans end up buying tech and employs inventor for modest (by American standards) salaryMany such cases.
>>475720830Its a scam based on faulty assumptions and jew math. Its like ai or zero point energy or antigrav. Forever 10 years away. Forever. Humanity on the downside of a worldwide IQ drop, breakthroughs have become almost nonexistent and its only going to get worse until we deal with runaway dysgenics.
My cousin has a quantum physics phd from UBC. After 7 years of not getting any clear result for his thesis his advisor told him to make shit up.It's all about scamming people who will never understand anything you tell them.
>>475731670nothing of this is groundbreaking (probably)you are reading pop sci
>>475720830yeah and they always leave out how it took them 10 gigawatts of electricity to generate .00000001 volts
>>475725133>sun will just shut down if it gets too big innitSafe and effective.
>>475720567Wasn’t this the storyline in the 1990’s Val Kilmer production of The Saint?> Just 30 more years bro
>>475720567>According to the UKAEA, STEP is designed to complement, not replace, private-sector development of fusionSo once again, the UK is going to do some token spending that is nowhere near the amount needed to accomplish anything, then get mad when the project inevitably doesn't accomplish anything, and finally cancel the project in favor of austerity measures.God, it's no wonder the UK doesn't make anything anymore. Even France, with it's retarded bureaucracy, is a better place to try new things.
>>475720567What do they mean by a NASA moment?I have never heard anyone say that before.NASA is an organisation that has been around for decades.
>>475725461Fusion does not produce fission products, monkey.
>>475720777Leave out the T then the H then the E.So nottinghamshire becomes notingamshir
