This Fusion Reactor Will Make Electricity by 2024?

[Hans Blaster]

I would ask that we all try to stay on topic.

As far as creationism goes, that would be the creation of energy.

Extraction of energy. Energy can not be created or destroyed.

In particular the topic is a particular proposed fusion method, not politics.

Sorry comrade, I'm opposed to Authoritarianism in general, when it intrudes on personal liberty.

So you're using the internet. Do you know how much American government funding it took to get that beast going?

It was one guy,

Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory, in 1989.

 

[HARK!]

Energy can not be created or destroyed.

That's a big assumption on your part.

 

[HARK!]

In particular the topic is a particular proposed fusion method, not politics.

..But as has been revealed there are political aspects to this project.

I heard that it was Al Gore; but maybe that is just enough hot air to spin up a steam driven turbine.

Haha,

The first computer to computer started in 1957 by the U.S. military for tracking nukes and other stuff, not the internet as it is today. Tim Berners-Lee invented world wide connection abilities. The history of computers and the internet is interesting.

How molten salt could be the lifeblood of tomorrow’s nuclear energy

Salt isn’t just for popcorn anymore. In fact, molten salt has caught the eye of the nuclear industry as an ideal working fluid for reactor cooling, energy transfer, fueling and fission product absorption. Many of the salts being considered are inexpensive, nontoxic, and easily transportable. In...

Internet. The WWW is just one application running on top of the internet backbone. There is also email, usenet, gopher, FTP, remote shells, X11, and a whole bunch more than http running over the internet protocol.

That's a big assumption on your part.

It isn't. It is basic physics and well established. Time invariance requires energy conservation.

 

[Hans Blaster]

..But as has been revealed there are political aspects to this project.

It was (partially?) funded by the government. That is all. I know of no politics related to it, nor have I seen any in the posts you have previously made about Helion.

 

[HARK!]

It isn't. It is basic physics and well established.

I don't count bare assertions as demonstrable Physics.

If you do, you can debate that here: Science Proves Creation

I told you why -- time invariance requires energy conservation. I've also been to that thread of yours and your initial post was refuted solidly multiple times. Been there, done that.

It changes nothing about the nature of the Helion reactor. It does not "create energy". It extracts energy from nuclear reactions.

First two words..." science proves" makes for an auto- fail.

..but we both knew that before we went off on a tangent splitting hairs over semantics

 

[HARK!]

I've also been to that thread of yours and your initial post was refuted solidly multiple times.

You're entitled to your opinion, even if it flies in the face of the Laws of Thermodynamics.

 

[HARK!]

First two words..." science proves" makes for an auto- fail.

So science proves nothing?

 

[Hans Blaster]

You're entitled to your opinion, even if it flies in the face of the Laws of Thermodynamics.

As I'm sure you were told in that thread, the laws of thermodynamics tell you no such thing.

 

[HARK!]

As I'm sure you were told in that thread, the laws of thermodynamics tell you no such thing.

I have already expressed my thoughts on bare assertion fallacies; but this is not the thread for that conversation.

Can we get back on topic now?

 

[Astrid]

So science proves nothing?

Do you have the capacity to accept a mistake
and change your mind?
