The Government has magnetically confined fusion reactors flying around and people are mistaking them for aliens. The Air Force/MIC figured out to make a Dense Plasma Focus for energy and propulsion.

I love these old animations, they were sort of close to the truth, but not.

The part about making the plasma shoot two directions is wild.

Our taxes paid for this technology or it’s so old it should be public use. I’m tired of pretending.

This tech is at least 20 years old too

Oh my science! Miniature fusion reactors are just science fiction! Physics won’t allow it or room temperature semi conductors. I trust in reddit, science, peer reviewed studies and certified mainstream sources..

Very good now submit for some unnecessary injections.

Fuck yeah, Ashton bro. Time will prove this one to become a benchmark post. That was friggin' sick, dude. 🤘😝🤘

Maybe. I never underestimate human ignorance.

Taming the Edge: How lithium could help us control #fusion plasmas. This video captures the first flashes of lithium being injected into the #plasma of our ST40 tokamak, marking the start of our exploration into its effects. Why lithium? In fusion research, we aim for H-mode, a high-performance state with improved plasma confinement. Future fusion power plants are expected to operate in this mode. But H-mode brings a challenge: ELMs (Edge Localised Modes) are bursts of energy at the plasma edge, similar to mini solar flares. These can reduce plasma temperature and damage the divertor with intense heat and particles. Pioneering work by PPPL and others has shown that lithium can suppress ELMs and increase energy confinement time, leading to higher temperatures. On ST40, we’re currently injecting lithium powder during plasma shots to explore its effects. As part of our upcoming ST40 LEAPS upgrade – in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero – we’ll go further, coating plasma-facing components with solid lithium using the ‘lithium evaporation’ technique. We’ll be experimentally testing several mechanisms. One key focus is how lithium absorbs hydrogen isotopes and reduces their recycling back into the plasma, lowering the density at the plasma edge, leading to a more stable edge pressure gradient. We’re starting to understand more about lithium’s effect on plasma performance, and early results show lithium isn't getting into the plasma core, which is good news for avoiding diluting the fusion fuel in future plants. The physics is complex, and we’re still learning. But each step brings us closer to fusion energy. By incorporating lithium into ST40, the world’s highest field spherical tokamak, we’re advancing our understanding of this critical enabling technology. #Fusion #FusionEnergy #Innovation #Limitless #EnergyTransition
