Biggest Obstacle of Nuclear Fusion Overcome?
Yetihehe writes "Nuclear fusion could become a more viable energy solution with the discovery of way to prevent super-hot gases from causing damage within reactors. The potential solution, tested at an experimental reactor in San Diego, US, could make the next generation of fusion reactors more efficient, saving hundreds of millions of euros a year."
Right and most "A'mur'icans" think they are the only ones who read the internet. Honestly I am very ashamed of my countrymen on a consistant basis anymore.
I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned focus fusion yet. It's a method of controlling the fusion plasma by twisting filaments of it back in on themselves at a single focal point and actually has a very efficient direct electricity feedback that relies on inducing a current to slow particles as they exit the reaction. This is where we should be spending our money on research. Tokamak reactors are just far too inefficient to be of much use.
