| He spent about 30 seconds debunking the test. The rest is Discovery Channel tier random physics knowledge. | |

| Do these things even produce fusion, or just neutrons? | |
| The only instance of net energy ever being produced from these reactions is in classified weapons where no data is available, but lots of fission still occurs. | |
| Does fusion actually power the sun? Literally anything under high pressure will glow and produce light. | |
| Seems like fusion is more of a theoretical hallucination than a practical reality. | |

| Nah, most of the products he deboonks are very apparent scams that any person could recognize if they think a bit. He actually does some cool vids that aren't just chasing low-hanging fruit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lANjwPzISQw [Embed] | |

| yes, because the production of helium (alpha particles) poisons the reaction and makes it very difficult to achieve self-heating. the whole goal of ITER is to prove that if you make a vacuum chamber large enough then you can overcome this poisoning, but still not get anywhere close to net energy out. | |

| LOL. No wonder. I often rail against Chemists when they venture in my domain; Biology. Too many Geneticists/Molecular Biologists have convinced themselves as being Biologists when in reality theyre just Chemists in disguise. | |

| >Mason developed experimental methods and results that indicate the first reaction of alkali metals and water was coulombic (that is, electrical charge forces) in nature which shatters and drives the metal in an extremely pure state into the water, causing both further coulombic and water dissociation. This result, developed in 2015, was completely new to chemistry. | |
| That is noted though. | |

| Does /sci/ agree this guy is just being really unreasonable with Elon? How will he react after Starship succeeds? I assume he said similar things with Falcon 9 and we everyone universally agrees that it's blown everything out of the water. | |

| Big hot ball of plasma that through gravity is forced to undergo splitting and reassembly of nuclei which causes a massive amount of energy pileup which eventually spills over into magneto and photon energy, now the ether more specifically was a term coined by Tesla sometimes in the earl... | |

| the standard model is that most of the fusion occurs via quantum tunneling. | |
| atoms are packed so densely that on rare occasions nucleons jump the gap to produce lower energy nuclei, releasing heat. the low probability of such events is why the sun is supposed to have a 10 billion year long main sequence. | |
