So when this had a turnover of 1.3 GJ (361 kWh), was that with a net loss in the end? How much electricity did they put in?

- aidenn0 3y agoMy layman's understanding: There has never been a net-positive-energy magnetic confinement fusion experiment. Inertial confinement fusion has had 2 events that were "more energy out of the fuel than delivered to the fuel." But is still about a factor of 100 away from what is needed for "more electricity in than out"
- vilhelm_s 3y agoThe 1.3 GJ is how much electricity they put in. There is no fusion reaction or energy production, it's just an experimental device to study plasma containment.
