- doctorwho42 3y agoLive to see SPARC turn on, there are some pretty smart people with models actually showing it breaking Q>3. Turns out the hardest part about productive fusion is the sustained high compression, and HTC tape really helps increase the compression by a large amount. (See their 20 Tesla test at the start of the pandemic)
- Helmut10001 3y agoJust want to mention for others: The first result for SPARC on google is SPARC (Scalable Processor Architecture), whereas SPARC (tokamak) [1] is what relates to Q>3. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC_(tokamak) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARC_(tokamak)

- stu255 3y agoNeutron damage is the real filter for fusion.
- dgroshev 3y agoIt would be great though if they stopped sponsoring the war in Ukraine. Yes it's unfortunate that their main HTS tape supplier is Russian, but pretending that it's not and just ignoring the issue (or obscuring the supply chain through that Japanese middleman) is pretty immoral.
- kaashif 3y agoMeanwhile as someone who had to deal with writing code for Solaris and using Sun's compiler, I think I've achieved my goal by seeing my last SPARC turn _off_! But yeah, nuclear fusion is cool.
