I had an inorganic chemistry professor who would often joke about the incompetence of "scientists" in countries like North Korea, and their inability to develop tech needed to build nuclear weapons

especially taking into consideration the time spent on attempting to do so

i mean thermonuclear devices uses fusion for a part of the explosion so you could argue that we have unsustainable fusion haha

Other way around

@EnderOctanus Yes, we've reached positive energy with fusion in the last 6 months. Less than 20sec however.

They're going to try a new geometry though, by inverting the toroid

Ah lockeed martin patented a design for one and is building b

But there was a successful all be it short success.

yeah we're sort of close to sustainable fusion power

i know we don't have fusion

*yet* <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

hopefully soon tho

if we did spend a little more money on fusion research and less on getting transporting africa to the west we be even closer

Build it in Africa <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

Okay

So

Windmills are big

But like

You have no clue

How

Fucking

Massive

Until you see them up close in person

Idk how to describe it

They’re big big

@Antiboom I posted that picture

Those windmills are like, 5 miles away

i've seen those blades being transported before, yeah they are pretty big

how much exactly is a megawatt?

One thousand kilowatts

yes but

i don't understand what that means

oof

I can't help you

@Fitzydog wym you posted that picture

@Deleted User did you fail out of physics

Yeah, and I posted another picture of just the blades

no i didn't
