It’s for real something I’ve noticed.

Wasn’t that dude at 106 eating only fatback and whiskey or something crazy?

Sigh. Bigger ecosystem for the rest of us I guess.

Guess I’m not buying anymore sparkfun stuff.

Shame.

All good bud, just wondered.

I notice you awkwardly wedge “seriously” into the end of a lot of your comments. What’s up with that?

Lol I wonder why it’s always an outback? Like I’ve heard the jokes, but where’d that come from?

More like grouchy Marx, amrite?? Eh? Eh?

Even if they got no real help upon arrival (as my great grandparents apparently didn’t), why make their lives difficult? Easier to exploit? Easier to control?

Oh.

What an insightful G.

I’d talk to you if you were on the map 👍

Be the change 😎

What’s done is done, in all seriousness 🤷

In sum, these guys at EAST got the Greenwald limit elevated in their tokamak, which indirectly influences the Lawson criterion: nTTau, density * time at said density * plasma energy released. Lawson is the master finish line for measuring whether a fusion system can actually make more power than it consumes.

To date, when you cross the Greenwald limit, the man/woman in the operators seat should expect the plasma inside the device to become uncontrollable, hurting the reactor by touching the walls or instruments inside, a so-called “disruption”. Only a few topologies like the stellerator can exceed the limit, and so far, only by 5x.

But here we have a way to exceed the limit in the much more researched tokamak. This research has positive impact for all but the weirdest/niche fusion devices.

There are topologies which don’t require steam heating for electricity generation…

Unlike this captain positivity’s social life, fusion is making some sizable strides forward in short order.

I design diagnostics going into systems like these, there’s a lot of positive news coming our way.

Helion’s gonna have some problems though.

What a low quality joke. The humor was bad too.

Right?? I literally put them on blast outside the restroom sometimes lol

Presuming it was autocorrect, but it should be RAP, record of arrests & prosecutions.
