China to test its 'artificial sun'

This can't be good. An artificial sun on Earth's surface is something we're not needing right now. We're warm enough, thanks.

hey brandy, long time no see

starlight afar posted on this this morning, very interesting eh?

hope all is going well with you

Hi Brandy, this subject was already boarded in another thread, I'll attach my post to that thread on this one.

---------------------------------------

You guys in the USA have had this done in your backyards several times.

The (un)famous Z machine on Sandia Labs is nothing else than a plasma fusion reactor in disguise.

If you woul be able to read trough the pile of mumble jumble mathemathics and thermodinamics that have been published about the Z machine results, you would have seen that the energy output is roughly three times the input, so the only explanation is the ocurrence of nuclear fusion to some degree.

What the chinese are going to try is nothing but a better version. It is the attempt to resolve all our energy needs, but also to create the more dreadful weapons imaginable. Antimatter? Around the corner if we dominate fusion. Matter transmutation (a.k.a. Alchemy)? also a direct outcome of fussion technology.

You are being told by the media that perhaps all our energetical problems will be solved. You just needed to get it translated.

Regards.

The idea that true antimatter may be obtained in a fusion reactor is a fantasy/
For the matter transmutation,the energy costs are so high it's not worth it.
The fusion reactors are far more expensive in both building and maintenance than the gravity turbines.(antigravity power plants:spin,spin,spin,hehe)

Erata:reasonable quantities of *true* antimatter,at a decent price,cannot be obtained in a fusion reactor
