Excellent Fusion documentary.

Hi all,

 

watched this Horizon episode recently and was really impressed, thought I'd post the links to it for others interested in fusion energy.

 

BBC Horizon: Can we make a star on Earth?

 

Part one

Part two

 

Part three

 

Part four

Part five

Part six

 

I don't know what you lot think but I tend to agree with the presenter, fusion could well be our only hope.

Just wondering if anyone has any info on how these fusion reactors (JET, KSTAR, etc) are performing?

I watched some of the video clips. They are very interesting.

I read this in the times the other day: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article7034945.ece

 

Quite exciting. UK are building a fusion plant to finalise and tweak the technology. The plant will be big enough that when the research has finnished and the procedure finalised the plant can be hooked up to the national grid and will run as a power station.
