    Wiggling magnetic fields make electricity

    Fusion reactors have wiggling magnetic fields.

    Simple as

      I really cant decide if that’s a joke.

      But you have to move from “Fusion reactors have wiggling magnetic fields.” into “Fusion reactors create wiggling magnetic fields.”

      I’m out of the loop here, but I can almost guarantee that whoever people are talking about, they didn’t achieve that change.

          Oh, man. They are working on direct electricity generation from 2H + 3He.

          First, that’s not new. But then, everything coming out of the mouth of that guy is bullshit. No idea why he doesn’t want to explain it, but it’s not “hot plasma creates magnetic field and we harvest it”.

          Anyway, assuming it’s not a scam, good luck to them. Google offers me another video saying that one is a scam, though. And given that 2H + 3He fusion is about an order of magnitude harder than what everybody else is doing, I’m prone to believe the title.

          yeah I don’t trust that video one bit, when I watched it it sounded like just a recruitment ad for the company. same with his hermeus video

            Hard agree, unsubscribed from real engineering the moment I realised they made ads without ever declaring it. It’s literally just propaganda at this point

      But it takes wiggling magnetic fields to confine fusion reactions, seems like taking energy from inefficient containment, or there’s more energy than required being used on containment which is lowering the overall efficiency…

      I am just a chemist.
