100 million degrees C
Sounds hot.
I'd like to know more. How do you actually harness the energy produced by temperatures that high? Is the end goal to figure out how to sustain the reaction at lower temperatures or do we actually have ways to generate electricity from those temperatures without losing most of it to waste?
One day we will break that record and nobody will ever know again.
Can't wait for fusion reactors to not be thing for another 50 years at the very least.
Better in 50 years than never
Fusion triple product: the duration the thing works
x inverse of how close you are to melting the reactor vessel
x how large is the reactor vessel
