A nuclear fusion reactor has been successfully...

Jay Banks Yup. Nuclear fusion has been "just 20 years away" for at least 60 years now. (And most of the efforts to achieve controlled fusion for long enough to be useful have involved exactly the same technology as this.) It's truly "the energy source of the future" ... and probably always will be!Çevirisine Bak

Anders Ledell Yeah, but this article didn't go into how they haven't netted any energy yet. Right now, it is just an expensive light show. But hey, we will see how it goes! Fusion is the power of the future. I am holding out for ITER.Çevirisine Bak

Renato Perillo That is an experimental fusion reactor. No energy is supposed to be gained from st-40. The short movie is misleading, and if you want to highlight the research on nuclear fusion, ITER project should be mentioned instead.

Nathan Duerre This is old tech the Livermore Lawrence lab. In California development this over 25 years ago and built a working plant in new Mexico, under grants from the US department of Energy. Thus they (US government.) Holds the patent rights as so prevents commercial use, or profiting without permission or licensing. At least here in the US.Çevirisine Bak

Seray Öngel Saygıdeğer Hashem Al .-Ghaili bu devasa bilgi boyutundaki gösterim. Beynimdeki düşünce gücünü sınıyor.. neredeyse bilinmezliğin keşfi gibi.. bunu uzaydaki iki zıt elementin çarpışması gibi mi düşünmeliyim..helyum ile neotronun birbirine çarpmasının etkisi neye göre olacaktır.. ayrıca merak ettiğim..yeryüzündeki reaktör birim olarak.güneşteki radyasyola eşdeğer mi.. ve dünyadan uzaya geçişin bu kadar az bir zaman içerisinde gitmesinin.ışık hızıyla ilgisi varmı.. çünkü her şey okadar çabuk gelişiyorki..bunu düşünmek bile beynin üst sınırlarını zorluyor.. bilim alanlarıdaki araştırmalarda sanırım ilerleyen teknolojiden komut alıyoruz. .işin en zor kısmı.teknolojinin ta kendisi..bilgisayarlar..robotlar.. iletişim ağı.. ve gitgide..insanoğlunun.araştırma isteği.. sizler de bu önemli yolda ilerliyorsunuz.. ve doğru bilgilerle aydınlatıyorsunuz. Ben bu anlamda çok teşekkürlerimi sunuyorum saygılarımla..
