That is WORLD changing right there. No we don't have fusion, but the sustaining part has come down to possibly just needing Lithium. Now if you look at where we have come from we are getting closer to where we actually will get more energy out and that will be a game changer.
- dogma1138 10y agoLithium is for Aneutronic fusion, while this is being researched it's a completely different fusion mechanism than the hydrogen plasma these reactors fuse. I made a few comments about this in a previous thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12877466 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12877466
- drjesusphd 10y agoLithium is used to breed tritium, which is a neutronic reaction.
- dogma1138 10y agoTritium breeding isn't a primary fusion reaction, Deuterium-Li(6) -> Helium(4) is.
- DennisP 10y agoYou're thinking of boron.
- dogma1138 10y agoNo, I'm thinking of Lithium.
