I don't think this affects the Mormons. But I'm sure there are tons of other people that will not be ok with it. Maybe Jews and Muslim. The religion says you can't eat it but you're not eating it so is it allowed?

Wouldn't you also need to drain all the blood out of the organ before transplanting it? |

Probably a fair bit of people in India too. More pig organs for me though.

Today's modern Economics and really even all the **** in the past is gigantic math. I know a few guys with PHDs in Physics and Math. With the exception of one guy, they all do big number stuff for financial firms and make $TX. The one guy (PHD in phsics) went into a think tank for AI. Also making $TX.

I know two that did that for a while, loved the challenge, making loads of cash. Then they figured out what they were doing was really screwing people and left in disgust. Fortunately companies like Google and Amazon were snapping up people with those same skills about that time, so they had no trouble finding other places to work that was more rewarding and slightly less evil. |

Most of the class were post-grads working on masters in some med field. About half the class looked like they just crapped themselves. I was one of two undergrads in the class, and the only engineer. Finally the prof let them off the hook and explained we didn't need to be able to solve it, he just wanted to show it to us. |

Bolded part: Funny that Economics - a discipline in free market/exchange liberalism (not to be confused with left politics) - can be reverse engineered (imo) to create brokers of wealth transfers, and not the good kind. |

I saw that too, but man the pace is frustratingly slow.
They are improving the time of sustained operation by an order of magnitude roughly every decade. And don't get me wrong...those are huge leaps. So 11 seconds now. In 10 years, 100 seconds. In 20 years, 1000 seconds (15min) In 30 years, 10000seconds (2.5 hrs) At that pace of development we're looking at city-scale fusion power plant for a 30yr service life somewhere near end of the century. Hopefully it ramps up faster. I'm all for crawl walk run sprint. But it sure is something the world could use sooner rather than later. Also, I want my Mr. Fusion. |

My impression was that continuous heat was not needed. You ramped up one chamber and as it cooled back down another one ramped up.

Still using more energy than it generates. Until that can be reversed (E out > E in) for even a little bit (even for just a hand full of ms) then they don't have anything. According to the big brains the math is there so it should be possible.

Robo-fish. Killed and filleted in the end. I wonder if it was tasty. On the serious side it would be cook if they could grow a heart like they do noses and ears.

Yeah... A big part of the problem is the magnets. You're looking to heat things up to boil water so that you can generate electricity, but the magnets have to be in close proximity to the plasma and they need to be kept at cryogenic temperatures because they have to be superconductors or the math doesn't work anymore. Traditional electromagnets would eat up so much power that it's pointless and that's only IF you could somehow create field strengths that high with them and I don't think you could. So the whole thing is basically fighting itself. If we can create superconducting magnets that are capable of generating the field strengths we need at "high" temperatures, say liquid nitrogen hot, there's a pretty good chance that this works. But if it has to be cooled with liquid helium, I don't see how they get to breakeven. It takes a lot of energy to get stuff that cold.

MIT and CFS are working on high temperature semiconductors. CFS are also working on "real" reactors. Really interesting stuff.
