Do you really think this is only used for this proyect?

Don’t be naive. It’s obviously money redirected to something else. Any time this amounts of cash are inserted to this projects other ”projects” also benefits.

Thing is how much really goes to this kind of things cos all the years you tell me a no advancement...hmm smells fishi.

Mordor paid for new laser based sphere for thermonuclear research

Since around 1965 USSR and Mordor later paid staggering amount of billions for similar things and ITER like things. Yet it is absolutely zero output from this, if you do not count actual shit going out of researchers and their shitty quality papers.

All this happen due to staggered irresponsibility.

@zcream

1965 was Soviet-era. Are you gasp critical of the Soviet ?

I am critical of group of people who literally became parasites.

It is common problem as such groups of parasites are hanging on all the developed countries like worms.

As for USSR critique - USSR had been very far from ideal, but standing for its core values is important as it is bashed by all capitalist mass media.

Chinese scientists have managed to break the Korean record for holding superheated plasma. The team of the EAST fusion reactor was able to achieve unprecedented results - confining plasma with a temperature of 160 million K for 20 seconds. They held a plasma with a temperature of 120 million K for 101 seconds. This is already very close to the threshold of thermonuclear fusion - we are not talking about fractions of a second, but about tens of seconds.

In order for the reaction of thermonuclear fusion to begin in the installation, a plasma with a temperature of 150 million K must be held for about 300-400 seconds.

Scientists just never told you that they have no means to collect energy, no way to save their precious reactor (it is not even in design) and that it is another huge waste of money and resources that will end in nothing.

Chinese scientists have completed the development of the China Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor (CFETR) fusion reactor. The project takes into account all modern developments in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion. If the government approves the project, scientists promise to light the "artificial sun" in about ten years.

They again need money, and again it will be nothing. Just better temperatures and more time.

Issues are fundamental - they can't keep plasma stable, they can't protect magnets, and they can't collect energy.

@radikalfilm

assuming your claims are true, how do the scientists manage(d) to fool all governments financing these projects, for so long?

Same way narco cartels thrive despite being totally known for authorities. Because they form symbiosis. Math field that I know inside is even worse - it is hundreds of thousands of math guys who write some science papers, but all of them can be used only for toiled purposes. And all of them get good money from the same government.

how did the scientists managed to keep such tight secrecy (way better than alphabet agencies) around these conceptual failings?

Similar to youtube. Any discussions of this topics are usually absent in public and being monitored and censored. But in private talks they openly tell you that it is all scam.

there has been ample time for audits and independent review

Due to extreme division of labor all reviews are being made by people inside same industry. Are they idiots to bust their nice life?

On claim #3 (collecting energy, disposing of spent fuel) I've read recently that yes, they haven't got to that yet, and don't have good plans on how it's going to be done.

And it is the most important thing, because if they had any means to do it sustainably - you already knew it from each billboard across your area.

An experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST), or China's "artificial sun", on Thursday in its latest experiment achieved continuous operation of plasma at high temperatures for 1056 seconds, which is the longest operating time of its kind in the world.

The breakthrough was announced on Friday by Gong Xianzu, a researcher at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP), who was in charge of the experiment, which took place in Hefei, the capital of Anhui province in eastern China.

“Earlier, in the first half of 2021, during the experiment, we held a plasma discharge at a temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius in a tokamak for 101 seconds. This time, the stable work of the plasma lasted for 1056 seconds at a temperature close to 70 million degrees Celsius. , which laid a solid scientific and experimental basis for the construction of a thermonuclear reactor, "said Gong Xianzu.

The neutrons which are liberated in this type of fusion have to go somewhere. Over time, just like in nuclear fission plants, these neutrons damage the reactor vessel wall. One design addresses this issue by encapsulating the fusion fuel in a "one-meter thick liquid lithium sphere or cylinder." This will create tons of radioactive waste that has to be removed annually. Without this approach the vessel walls will have to be replaced periodically and then transported to waste disposals sites. Scientists are working on better reactor vessel materials.

@garroulus

Yup. After hundreds of billions had been wasted.

Modern scientist are much more harm to society than any drug cartels. Even COVID developers alone made damage that is hard to compare to anything else.
