You have to have a base plate of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings are in a direct line with the panametric fan. If you don’t, the main winding of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots of the stator will not stabilize. It’s pretty simple
Don't forget the headlight fluid and Flux capacitor.

But you have to get rid of that pesky radioactive waste. I say shoot it off into space.
I say store it on the moon, you know, like in Space 1999.

World-record fusion experiment produced even more energy than expected
Not sure how they produced any extra energy.
Looks like they are at -296.85 megajoules for the reaction.

That’s even better than leaked reports suggested (https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/12/breakthrough-fusion-power-announcement-expected-tomorrow-heres-what-it-means/). The team at t he Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory spent the last week deciphering the data to determine the exact results. To produce the 2.05-megajoule shot, the laser system required 300 megajoules of power, Kim Budil, director of LLNL, said in a press conference today.

We can get unlimited, safe power from putting atoms together, but we get nuclear bombs when we split them. So we get energy from putting them together and breaking them apart?
What am I missing?
Both fission and fusion convert a small amount of mass to energy. E=mC^2
Plug the mass(m) lost into that equation to find the energy(E) released. Hiroshima bomb converted less than a gram of mass.
Our sun converts millions of tons of mass to energy every second, so the sun is losing mass all the time.

In the 40's. Damn shame I can't power my boat for a bazillion miles on this stuff by now.

Different kinds of atoms. Big ones give off energy when you break them apart. Little ones give off energy when you mush them together.

two issues. . 1. the unlimited energy potential of fusion does not square with the first law of physics.
2. where does the hydrogen come from in the fusion process. Is the process to make green h2 included in the balance

A guy has an apartment and a lot of stuff. He meets a girl with an apartment and a lot of stuff. They move in together, but they don’t have room for all of their stuff, so they hold a garage sale. We profit by getting all of this excess stuff for a low price.

All it means is that in 20 years all electric cars plugged into the grid is a possibility.

That's pretty optimistic.
I will not be happy unless gravitational wave research finds a way to cancel gravity and my all electric car can fly. What ya think? 10 years or so?

There are both fission and fusion bombs, WW2 bombs where fission, modern weapons are fusion.( they are both actually) It takes a fission device to get the parameters to start a fusion reaction. It is an uncontrolled fusion reaction. The rub is starting a controlled fusion reaction without using a Fatman type trigger, containing it to be of any use besides melting a city......and using less energy than it takes to start and contain.

If I tell you then everyone would know. Sometimes it’s best I don’t say anything.

But how would you prevent fumbling in the ambifacient lunar waneshaft?

On an elementary level the only thing you are missing is "them" in this case is not the same thing.
In the case of fusion you are combining two nuclei of atoms with low atomic weights which releases energy and in the case of fission you are splitting two nuclei of atoms with much higher atomic weights. You are using two different types of "fuel" that release energy in two different situations.

It’s like putting a big girl in yoga pants. Something’s got to give.

Guys, thanks for all the BS and the possibly educating responses. The OT delivers yet again. And yes, I was wondering about the perpetual motion thing
