Wait till you find out how nuclear fusion makes electricity

You mean, how it will in 20 years?

[-] TonyToniToneOfficial@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

Perpetually so

It's like Musk time. In 20 years it'll only be 20 years away.

Helion's approach is actually different. They are attempting to capture energy directly through induction. I hope it pans out for them, seems like a really interesting approach.

ITER is doing a great job on that front

There's actually two (at least that I know of) ways for fusion to generate electricity, this is a newer one https://youtu.be/uRaQLZaaHWo?si=DTwV26inm1pyrYn8
