The article says that the 7X won't ever produce energy. Over the course of the following years they will try to leave it on for longer and longer period of time

SO yes, they kept it on for less then a second, nothing exploded and future looks quite brigth i would say
- dest 11y ago7X may produce energy, but it is not planned (AFAIK) to produce electricity from it. 7X is a scientifical machine, not an industrial one.
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 11y agoNope, it won't, it's too small for that, it will always need more energy input to keep the reaction going than the reaction itself produces.
- dest 11y agoBy producing energy, I meant hosting some fusion reactions, even if few of them compared to the external heating power. Sorry for the confusion. By the way, do you know what is the estimated gain factor of W7X, even if < 1 ? I could not find that info on the web.
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 11y agoNo clue, unfortunately ... I might have known at some point, but I unfortunately don't remember the source anymore either ...
