Amazing video with the perfect summary <3

Most underrated video I have ever seen.

Thank you 🙏

👍

13:22 The "magic threshold of scientific breakeven" is a misleading concept.

are batteries stars, too?

7:16 Less🎶,,,,Supercritical co2 liquid PLUME geOthermal?
10:50 tritium

The lasers at the ntl ignition facility are very old and inefficient.  How much energy went into powering the lasers is left out of their "we got more out than was put in" claim

Nuclear fusion energy promoters tend to omit many key evaluation issues in their efforts to attract continuing funding and public support. They often snow journalists who have no background in such complex and arcane fields. The term 'ignition' is employed in a misleading way, especially in the field of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. Most people assume that once ignition begins the reaction spreads throughout the entire fuel mixture until it is all consumed by the reaction. This in not the case with ICF. In the case of the highly publicized 12/05/2022 laser shot at NIF the set up of the experiment took about a week. The fusion reaction only occurred within a microscopic area at the center of the rapidly compressing fuel. That area is referred to as the hotspot. The fusion reaction only lasted for 0.000,000,000,08 second. The propagation of the reaction was very limited before the force of the exploding hotspot blasted away 96% of the expensive supplied fuel. The fuel capsule, hohlraum, and much of the rest of the target assembly is vaporized in the process. Components, in the chamber have to be cleaned of blast debris after such shots, which includes removal of traces of the radioactive tritium that wasn't sucked into the target chamber vacuum system. Its been estimated that the destroyed target assembly costs around $100,000 USD.  Dozens of synthetic diamond fuel capsules are manufactured to extremely precise tolerances but only a few are considered suitable for the experimental shots. The rarity of the tritium fuel was mentioned here but promoters always omit the fact that commercial tritium is priced at more than $30,000 USD per gram. In the above video it was mentioned that the fusion energy gain was based upon the X-ray energy photons that happened to end up ablating the surface of the fuel capsule. An issue that is typically omitted is the fact that the pumping of the lasers consumed more than 100 times the amount of energy that was employed in calculating the fusion gain. The lab management never mentioned the quantity of energy, that was consumed by the facility during the week of the experiment preparation. It is common practice for fusion energy advocates to omit the total energy required to run their experimental facilities when calculating the fusion energy gain. The nuclear fusion energy experiments began in the 1950s with most of the advocates frequently claiming that the hydrogen fuel is almost unlimited. Scores of experimental machines have been created and experimented with. The vast majority never employ tritium fuel and never achieve a significant number of fusion reactions. More can be found in the Wikipedia article titled 'List of nuclear fusion experiments.'

The NIF was supposed to have achieved the so-called 'breakeven' fusion result by 2012 but failed by a factor of over 100 then. It took a decade of tweaking numerous aspects of the machine to finally reach the primary goal of NIF on 12/05/2022. By then it was estimated that NIF had consumed approximately $11 billion USD in federal revenues. Conveniently left out of this video is the fact that NIF has always been primarily funded as a thermonuclear weapon (H-bomb) research tool. The administrators have always been masterful in obscuring this issue whenever they present to journalists and to the general public. It was mentioned that it is assumed that a commercially practical ICF power plant would need to perform compression shots at at least a few shots per second. Just on the shot rate parameter the 12/05/2022 shot was far greater than one million times to slow. That never prevents the nuclear fusion energy advocates from claiming that a commercially practical nuclear fusion electrical generating station is just around the corner.

Virtually all nuclear energy promoters, are in line with the vast majority of Earth's other 8.2+ billion humans, who continue to assume that we still have at least 20 years left to turn this 'Titanic' around using their favorite nuclear technology. They have become masterful in excluding the following warnings from their consciousness. I urge readers to search for the following two article titles.

such a clueless system..... I thought US Sintists are better , but thay aren't! what about thay`re diplomas, thay didn't deserve this....!
