Is the problem with fusion reactors still that we can't really keep them running for more than a few seconds, and we can't really get the energy out effectively?
Last I heard (which admittedly was a few years ago), that was the hold up. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

Yes It's at Culham, and very much agree it's one of those things that has always been 30 years away.
And you're right Zen Dog, the problem has been that we can't reach 'break even', or Q=1. The best so far was achieved by JET about 20 years ago which was 24MW in , 16MW out so Q=0.67 - there's still some way to go.
And pride comes before a fall. Interview didn't go well I think it's because it was a Project Manager job and I bleated on about technical stuff and either bored the pants off them or wasn't PM enough.
Anyway, i've not heard back in nearly a week so I guess Greta's still in a job for now. |
