I think that we will have much more interesting and specific information about this in the future. It's great that people are already working on thermonuclear energy in our time, and are achieving success. It seems to me that this kind of energy is the future. Although there should be a place for nuclear power plants in the foreseeable future, since they have been showing their effectiveness for many years. And all other types of energy must inevitably remain in the past, because in the long run it will not be possible to use them. Well, thank you very much for the video. We will be waiting for new details about the discoveries and works in this direction.😏

Nuclear fusion power is always 30 years away. And was 30 years ago

They contained a fusion reaction for "a record long time"? I'd like to know how long it was exactly, and how close it puts us to having an "infinite amount of energy".

It isn't infinite, atoms would only combine till something similar till they reach maximum Binding energy per nucleon ( 8.8 MeV at Fe 56 ) if you're considering basic idea about fusion from something out of 12th grade books. Also in these books, it's stated that once fusion starts, It releases so much energy that it makes the other molecules undergo fusion as well. It required alot of energy to melt the Hydrogen till it's plasma state (need temperatures at 3 x 10⁹ K) So you can guess why it's so hard to do fusion Well i know it's alot deeper topic than this but well, that's what the 12th grade books say

he said it in the video: about 18min

Nothing is really infinite, the idea is to have something to power a city for 100 years, not technically about it being 'infinite'.

Sensationalist language used to appeal to the commoners. Why else would this channel have over five million subs?

What's sad is that as a civilization we hold ourselves back collectively. Instead of coming together as a whole to reach our goals such as things like this with no restrictions or boundaries, we limit each other with greed, money, and ego. Imagine of our worlds greatest minds were able to simply come together with no restrictions of any sorts, the things we would already achieve would be "stellar".

Yeah, there was a similar issue with Einstein, where organized religion had this dogmatic practice with 'science'. His idea had to be tested and observed for quite the years, he was only taken seriously during World War 2?

That is true imo

The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand.

So with the The Large Hadron Collider splitting particles to reveal whats inside, can we in the right conditions put them back together which can result into making other particles/nucleus we may not know of yet?

@slavb0i64 When does a theory become fact? At one point in time gravity was a theory, splitting an atom was just a theory.

@slavb0i64 huh?? We.. What??? We know something is causing it, we are unsure if it’s a force, particle, whatever. But stuff decays and we can see what it decays into. It’s also a very complex topic and I would suggest further research before responding.

@Mike Joints cant produce dark matter without knowing if it exists

@Mike Joints dark matter is a theory, it gives us an answer for alot of the questions about our existence, but its a theory.

Use a sonic field to keep the reaction to other parts at a minimum. If the sonic field is at a high enough frequency it can stop any vibrations from reaching reactive parts of the crust. And sonic fields don’t affect geothermal reactors.

@slavb0i64 i enjoy watching this video thats why i watch it

@Mit no it just doesnt make any sense, a sonic field is on a spectrum of sound, how is it supposed to affect the physical spectrum , dont do physics, just watch tiktoks lol

what

You forgot to mention Helion has also developed a way to create their own fuel via the same fusion engine

yes

Nuclear Fusion power and Nuclear Fission power is constantly framed as a "this or" discussion. In the future it will almost certainly be a "this and" discussion. We wouldn't be able to revel in the modern benefits of nuclear fission power if not for the past 60 years of practice, experience, and sometimes getting it wrong. Our forbearers started somewhere for our benefit today. We too must start somewhere for our successors' benefit tomorrow.

@Galagar Rocket fission is a very political matter as the public doesnt want to do anything do with radioactive material. hence it's not so popularized yet and we havent moved away from it, but also from the pressure of the fuel industries, they dont want to lose their money.

Fission works while fusion is unsustainable. You can only keep the reaction going for a fraction of a second while fission can go on for decades.

I think it's OK and educational for a lot of viewers. Anyhow thank you very much.

My family still uses fire wood sometimes Always loved playing with fire as a kid

The last bit of your video got me thinking, could we use thermonuclear power in spacecraft?

Yes

They do that in submarines, nasa and others are working on that but its a very long way. the energy by itself cannot propel anything as it has nothing to propel, hence it needs gases and such material

They do in the movies

it lasted 3 seconds before the machine shut down it was 1.5 sec longer than the second longest fusion reacter lasred.

Strange how amidst oil producing nations refusing to obey the matrix we develop this technology 🧐

its money they want, obviously they dont want to lose it, however since planes cant be powered electrically as of now they are fine for a little while, they'll reinvest into nuclear once they realise

is it a computer generated voice or a real man speaking? Thank you! The way the voice over is done is so catching!

@slavb0i64 for realll!!!??? WOW

real man speaking.

Okay, where can I study and see this. I swear the more I watch the more I wanna do

A university with physics as a subject, or a degree in anything nuclear lol ,or sustainability even, but thats a much more broad degree and only touches nuclear slightly.

if the plasma circle fusion reaches half million km/h the energy would be able to use as a rocket power

How safe is it against Orcish rockets?

fusion reactors and new batteries technologies should be the priority in the world for investment, just nuclear fusion experiments investment are over 2 billions in the US, and they need more, there are like 4 countriers competing to reach a proper ignition

Yeah well, this has become way too overhyped. The laser beams inserted 2MJ or something like that, and they somehow measured an output of 3MJ. But there's no way to capture this output and turn it into electricity. Not even remotely. And also, the loss in the lasers is not taken into account. So in reality they did not get more out of the reaction than the total power that was required to start it. Don't get me wrong, fusion is very interesting and if we can crack it that would give us unlimited electricity. However, we are far far away from that yet. This side of 2100 seems unlikely to me. If we ever manage to get it working. May end up being impossible to do outside of labs

hence he mentioned pure energy, as in net energy. also dont be so helpless about it, everything comes at its own pace,

Someone will not let this technology go for the masses!

Hoping they continue this. To help the world more wonderful

@MasonSTL they cant blow up in a controlled environment, theres nothing to blow up in the first place

@Melanie Jerrils if the large colliders havent blown us up I dont think this will.

Help- maybe Blow the planet up- also maybe

Thermal energy transmitted through fibre optic cables? Can heat be transmitted via fiber optic? Or is thermal energy something else?

glass used in fibre optic cables is much more different then of what you heard in the video.fibre optic cables is used to transfer data with fractions of heat as the form of energy is supposed to be electrical to conduct data, if the energy is thermal then you wont get any data from that cable lol

I didn't even know what a nuclear panner plant was.

I think the Dyson Swarm theory is the coolest solution 😅

coolest but most inefficient as of now, we cannot even explore a planet yet nevermind using it for materials to fund such projects.

The power of sun in the palm of my hands

Kerosene lanterns are great when fusion power fails and the lights go dark.

The wisest thing that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH....)

Count me in,I'm placing my trades with Expert valerie yarvin 🥰❤️

Such information we don't it get from most Youtubers, I am getting in touch with her right away

tl:dw: they used 300MJ to get 3MJ 300MJ to power the lasers 2MJ was the laser output from the reaction they supposedly got 3MJ

Really seems like we are playing god now. And that hasn't ever ended well before. But on the bright side, we are close to creating a tesseract or a Stark ark reactor 🤣🤘🤘

There is no god

Helium 3 isn't enough in earth till this day

Did you know if you cut a grape in half and then put it into a microwave it creates sparks of plasma?

use that to charge my phone

Imagine a huge man man magneto spheric energy source on the moon with fail. Saves on our side allowing the moon to shift back and forth and around a little bit. Why not? And could even be used to see something long-term, The sun is still a huge energy source both near and far. Lol, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

This is the way 😎👣

We only need to trust our scientist and engineers for this technology.

we are going to be leveling up the earth

Fusion is always working together as a species. Our actions depends on one another.

still long long way off as the plus side was incredibly tiny.

Can you folks look at THIS an imagine extraterrestrials laughing at how primitive something like THIS might be to THEM?..

The Video contains lots of false facts and its easy to see that there wasn't that much independent research put into it. Infinite energy is an overtatement, tritium is infact incredibly rare and not abundant as said in the video, he compares "thermonuclear" to "nuclear" energy although after even the most basic understanding its easy know that both reactors are thermonuclear but not all fusion reactors are (like some mentioned in the video). the list goes on, I really recommend Real Engineering's video on the helion energy reactor it (he borrowed clips from him and didn't give credit) its definitely much better and more interesting.

Thank you. We need more people like you helping the layman separate the good science videos from the sensationalist nonsense.

@Dashtro Clan yeah

It isn’t a fact if it’s false. This video straight up lies.

@NoDefiance ok Finite

Maybe a silly idea but, Can we take lava and encase it so oxygen doesn't get to it so it stays alight and add water so we create our own lava reactors, surely its just whether we can keep the lava alight, which surely can be done?

@alex ford As isnt that how a light bulb works? + and - charge to keep an filament ember a light and it only stays a light as no oxygen is making it search for fuel?

@alex ford Never ever played it and i am glad i haven't. Surely the reason why it stays a light inside the earth is because it doesn't have the elements putting it out I.E Oxygen to make it search for fuel, so it can maintain a constant temperature? or am i wrong?

only on mine craft.

Don't mind me, they call me Cassandra. But how clean will this technology be? Won't one and every fusion plant produce enormous amounts of HEAT here on this increasingly torrid planet?

I knew the numbers were going to come out even. Riddle doesn't want that smoke from either Side!

what about water turbines, like wind turbines but underwater

they are just called water turbines

I always thought it would be cool to learn and work in this field. I find it fascinating

@NoDefiance Cool, thanks

Calculus I>Calc II>Calc III>General Physics I (Newtonian Mechanics & Motion)>General Physics II (Simplified Electromagnetism, Optics, and Thermodynamics)>Classical Mechanics (Lagranian then Hamiltonian, but prioritize Hamiltonian due to usage in equipartition and quantum mechanics)> Simplified Modern Physics and Special Relativity>Statistical Mechanics>Quantum Mechanics>Nuclear & Particle Physics>Magnetohydrodynamics>Plasma Physics & Fusion Power. Learn these concepts and topics in this order, if you want I can send you my own playlist I’ve compiled over the years, the course is approximately 138 hours. After that time period you will have all of the knowledge of a modern fusion scientist. All of the videos are on YouTube and free access.

If they will be able to produce pure energy by 2024, how long will it take for this pure energy to power up the grid?

How fast the governments can provide funding for more R&D on fusion, they arent in a rush however cuz nobody has money for anything unless they will have to pay due to pressure.

Amazing strides. I won't live long enough to see it come to its full potential.

If you aren’t 80 I can guarantee you will see it come to its full potential and even be industrialised enough to the point where your phone will be charged by fusion energy in 20 years

I sure hope u will. Dont count yourself out like that. I just played a song that says " dont ever say its over if im breathing" . Have a good one.

You most likely will.

been waiting for this to come out ever since the news, cant wait to watch it tonight!

WE HOPE

Even if the source is found, the world energy corporations will not allow these projects to be implemented. Greed, the desire to earn all the money - that's what rules the world. I hope that the day will come when energy will be free and available to everyone. That is when the end of poverty and hunger will come. More precisely, I believe in it. More precisely - I know that this day will come!

Even then normal people will find a problem with fusion power anyway.

thorium reactor moment

Thankyou so much Riddle sir You are the real teacher of science and cosmology and astrophysics and astronomy Thankyou so much 🙏🥇🏆 for video

Is there any chance we can get a video about quantum materials?

I would say just look it up

👍👍👍

Hi! I work for the EPA just one thing. This would not stop climate change because most of it is in fact of natural climate change, and that is all included in our studies.

The big oil company would not disagree using thermonuclear fusion coz there business will collapse in an instant

Cmon mankind, we’re almost there . I’m sure we will make it in the next decades ❤

Well don't waste money 💰 Try hard everyone in Plante

awesome that fusion is getting the recognition it deserves, but your assumptions that we won't need oil, gas and coal are flawed. your still going to need these three resources for clothing, electronics, fuel, lubricants, steel, insulation, even the magnets needed for fusion,the list goes on. yes fusion can help lower pollution, but without the above mentioned resources fusion cannot continue.

“..not to screw anything up right now..” Too late.

i wish we would all come to a compromise to create this slow technical future that awaits without the needs for funds.

Is this something like iron man core power reactor right?

Awesome, been following this closely since I was 16 years old 😀

You should not forget that the earth produse 100K ton uranium-235 a year and you can find it in the sea water. And the new nuclear plants use thorium232 to produse uranium233, a safer method than the Soviet nuclear power plant (as you said)

*produce

got a migraine trying to understand this but amaz

This really keeps me educated far more than what schools teach

are you still in grade school?

It’s much more fun to learn this way. He should really be a professor at a college. I would go💯

Yes

Ridddle teach u yo abcs? how to read? yo mama teach u like mine did? if not then u learned a lot more from school then these type of channels. hot take but rly I've never been in the school system so idk if its really that bad at teaching.

Can nuclear fusion be used for roge planets to be able to have life. So you can have a planet that has no star, and you can turn it into an earth like planet with that energy.

My concern about nuclear fission is long-term, what can we do about the rising quantity of nuclear fuel rods which have been used but remain radioactive for tens of thousands of years?

@Dovahlorian No no, thats far to simple for such a tech, there must be some complicated solution that will be expensive and time consuming.

Put them back in the ground where we found it

Where I do like a lot of these videos, since I Like to hear about new Breakthroughs. but when you have seen like 10 videos about this subject over the year, it get's kind of tiresome to see the explanation all over again what fusion is and is not. would be nice, if it was only a 2 min video, only talking about the Breakthrough. Or at least has it made so you know where in the video the new stuff is. so you could skip to it.

and we still using cars and havent made it to the mars hard to believe

Letttsss go riddle. Keeping us gamed up. Thx

👽👍🏿

I've been rooting for nuclear energy for years. It's just unfortunate that common people don't understand its benefits.

@Jackie Mack And Chernobyl was the product of Soviet nonchalance, a terrorist attack would be much much worse because the would hit a target that's way more important and deadly. Shame you couldn't build the powerplants underground , maybe that would help atleast a little.

@Jackie Mack a water plant hit by terrorists would be a disaster to. Imagine if the Neil waterplant got hit by a bomb or something greater. That would probably be as tragic because of the massive amounts of water and dust that would cover towns by the nearby rivers , lakes and would be an agricultural catastrophe. But you are still right a nuclear power plant would be a prime target for terrorists so the best solution is to build them as far as possible from cities.

@Timur Dobrianskyi Cleanest but great target for terrorists and if it hits the fan hundreds if not thousands of evacuations necessary. 600 sq miles around Chernobyl needed evacuation. Where would 600 sq miles of people evacuate to from a huge 🇺🇸 city?

It's literally one of the cleanest forms of energy, which doesn't kill millions of birds like wind turbines, doesn't kill and drain or overfload miles of nature and small towns like water power stations, and does not give out co2 or co that destroys everything beyond eyesight. Sonar energy is second best but, the materials to build the pannels are really hard to get and the amount of space needed for the same output of energy. Nuclear energy is the most probable source.

Fusion is safer than fission.

It's funny it's called RiDDDle because i got 3 D's at A-Level. Appreciate you still trying to educate me though

If you haven't already heard about this..then, where have you been?

Pure an infinite energy that lasted a few micro seconds.

That’s not how it works

​@MasonSTL Would make no difference

huh, time is relative... soooo build the reactor near a black hole

2023 just started, this is the best comment of the year

Noice video bro.

Our ancestors had free world wide energy, and a nuclear reactor , from it's remains which still appears functional . Had Nikola Tesla's ideas on free energy, as he demonstrated with his car for years early last century . We would also have free electrical energy world wide , which would have freed us to persue other technology or interests .

great to see someone call out wind and solar and give the facts on nuclear power. all the green people should be all in on this, but surprisingly they are not and most are very opposed to it.

@kdbutter23 ummmmm Fukishima Daishi doesn't ring a bell? Releasing radioactive water into Pacific. Three Mile Island Pennsylvania 1979. Educate yourself on those 2. Oh yeah and climate change around for thousands of years without fossil fuels. Wanna tell me me why?

@Jackie Mack did you not watch the video he addressed those failures? also i would not base anything on Chernobyl. the ussr did not really care about safety. also if climate change is such an existential threat then it seams it would be worth the risk

After Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine, Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, Fukishima Daishi in Japan we have to wait for fusion. Safer than fission.

We will never see that infinite energy as the the big oil and hydro Industry would fail.we have had many chances at free energy and its always been hidden ,people gone missing, people's brains fried,

The only way to make our current nuclear reactors more efficient is to stop using them ad glorified hot water heaters. We need to find a way to DIRECTLY convert the radiation from the reactors to electricity. Like solar panels but for radiation. If we can do that we may be able to reduce the radiactive material to zero in a hundred years instead of 5000 years.

33 Bro its been planned And already had the tech

Petroleum is used for much more than energy production. It's used in nearly everything we have. Oil and coal will also be used as a hedge from the government tit. Coal, especially, is cheap and available and battery production is not exactly a clean process.

Давно не заходил на канал, тут решил что-то про космос посмотреть и вспомнил про ridddle. Только вот что-то изменилось.. Давно на английскую аудиторию перешëл или я что-то перепутал?

Or we could just use Nikola teslas invention to you know provide pretty much endless electricity

Excellent video. Humanity is fully aware it must most screw things up and repeat the mistakes of the past. The UK has a brand new state of the art nuclear power station being finalised. It has all the latest technology and security measures in place for any eventuality. Until we crack fusion I believe that's the way to go. Countries like Brazil have no urgent need for such technology as they have huge hydroelectric potential and low population to the size of its territory and enjoy reliable, cheap and non-polutant energy generation.

Nuclear is by far our best bet

Go long on defense and petroleum.

We need to put these in a cruise size ship rocket 🚀 and send them to Mars for a true self sustainable colony..

7:18 those i see for the turbines are more achievable for grabbing the wind instead of those giant propellers on the turbines 🤔⛩ we have already

😳

Question; it was mentioned that this produced 50% more energy than put in bud did that include how much energy was used to produce the helion3 and the deuterium????

Yes, it does include that. For an explanation, Its a rough 50, their achievement of ignition yielded a 0.5 net gain of energy (or ~50%). As approximately 2.05MJ of energy were inputted into the system and the output was 3.15MJ. Part of that 2.05MJ of input energy goes towards the fusion of deuterium/tritium atoms, atoms naturally want to combine and fuse, but the Coulomb barrier is what sits between atoms acting as a wall to stop them from fusing. To make atoms fuse, they basically a throw a whole bunch of energy at a atom until they can push it hard enough into the wall that it breaks, once it breaks there’s nothing stopping them from fusing anymore and the kinetic energy of the atoms slapping together and combing releases the 3.15MJ of energy, and also releases the newly combined atoms in the form of Helium-3. I hope this explanation helps.

This channel clearly didn't do its homework

This is how school should be. Teaching us how to be future scientists

54% more than used to ignite the fusion, except that's just the power actually pumped into the fusion source and Durant include the massive amount of energy needed to run everything else to do this. Include that and we are nowhere close to breaking even yet.

Fusion is always 20 years away for the past 60 years. Its a money black hole when we think of the solution we already have that will solve our energy problems cheaper like Geothermal

Or fission

There is also the Thorium fission technology, which is not done yet either, i belive, but would be very useful, safe and quicker developed than Fusion.

Wow

damn this gives me more education than school

I think we should keep a donation site/app/or campaign going 🔥 to move fast, without wasting money in bad ways.

Well if it helps both us and this planet then I guess I'll hate humanity a little less.

Lol

first why do we need to get all of our energy from one place..(dystopia anyone?).. why can't we all each have several devices to power our own things.... make your own wind mill or take any moving current and mill it. (water). we could use gravity and mill it. and our batteries we need to use our ancestors idea and use water salt and acid(juice). the fungus is among us, use it.

wait, who is microwaving toast? tf is this?
