Research on fusion suppressed

The "Farnsworth Fusor" actually has some fairly basic limitations - it would burn itself out before reaching practical fusion levels, but the Bussard p-B11 approach (later in another article), looks interesting.

Direct collection of high voltage electricity.


Certainly, in it's time, Farnsworth's design showed considerable promise, but was sidelined by the push toward fission.

Over the past fifty years, billions have been spent trying to solve the riddle

now that is a waste of money :Yikes:

Re: Research on fusion suppressed
 

Terrible news although I have heard on the grapevine Japan is VERY keen on testing the fusion and getting it working for the west, due to there own power issues.

Re: Research on fusion suppressed
 

Is it just me, or is that fact that people are encouraged to perform nuclear fusion in their basement a little bit worrying? I guess they must be doing it in real small amounts, but still. Nuclear Fusion produces thousands of times more energy than fission.

We need fusion and we need it fast.


I hope the USA and UK goverments know this and act accordingly.

Re: Research on fusion suppressed
 

yes right ,as if they would :Yikes: but some 1 has to be the first,but who :Yikes: it all comes down to money :disturbd:

Re: Research on fusion suppressed
 

I think the reason is they seem to take all our ideas and make them work.. remember the 1950's time when there motorbikes was the most reliable in the world..and there cars..all our ideas they get them working...

Lets hope this works for them..Iagree though money makes things happen ;).

Re: Research on fusion suppressed
 

:Yikes: No way

We had the BSA and the TRIUMPH :disturbd: and they sounded like motorbikes not tin cans

Re: Research on fusion suppressed
 

Rofl yeah but that little Honda you thrashed to get parts all time for your BSA Bantom and Norton Commando never broke down...and did it not strike you as weird that your hammering this honda bike and it never broke down lol.

:rofl:

British Industry in cars...even Rollers are made in Germany now :rofl:

:rofl:

Re: Research on fusion suppressed
 

Yeah, while names like BSA, Triumph and Norton all recall the age of classic british motorcycling. The build quality was p*ss soor, and Triumphs used to need an oil well just to keep running. As much as I lust after an original Bonny, I also know they where, well, scrappers compaired to Japanese bikes of the time. Even today, you want a bike that will run with reasonable reliability, then buy Japanese.
