Good stuff Flysurfer,
we've been chasing the holy grail of fusion for decades (remember those big tokamak things the Russkis were building?
Also the chinese had a go at it...
My money is on the lasers, interestingly the vid didn't say anything about what to do with the heat once it's been created. I also read somewhere that they need to fire in ten times more pellets per second than they are currently capable of doing just to break even.
Be great to have no more reliance on dead trees
Interesting stuff.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Ignition_Facility
Seems all this energy is focused onto a 'target' that is 2mm in diameter
"laser amplifier glass" eh?
So either the description is wrong or they found a way to create perpetual motion.
