We got a tour of the NIF laser. That\'s the target chamber behind us.
On that spot, a Star Trek episode was filmed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Ignition_Facility

After 20 years of operation, and roughly 8000 shots, they keep making
progress, in the sense of learning stuff and getting increasing,
over-unity energy gain.

Like the plasma experiments, dynamic instability limits compression
and fusion yield.

Pretty cool.
Why are you all wearing masks? Here they abandoned them, the pandemic
has subsided (and it is summer). Or is it to protect the site you are
at?

They are required inside NIF, don\'t know why. They didn\'t require us
to wear booties or walk on sticky pads to de-dust our shoes, like a
semiconductor fab would.

Few people wear masks here in normal life. Maybe 5% are masked in
public outdoors, maybe 20% at supermarkets, almost none in bars or
restaurants.

I think some people will wear masks forever.

Well masks are not much help against infection unless everybody wears
them but I can understand how people in desperation would wear - say
someone on chemo, even if all the mask gives them is just a feeling
of better safety.
What might be an alternative last line of defence is what what I do, I
put a \"Fisherman\'s Friend\"
https://www.amazon.com/Fishermans-Friend-Lozenges-Original-Strong/dp/B01IAI1YN0/ref=sr_1_12?crid=2ZN87NLGDC133&keywords=fishermans+friend&qid=1656174992&sprefix=fishermen%27s+friend%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-12

in my mouth when on public transport etc. Don\'t know if it works
and I am no longer addicted to these (which I was to a point where
my tongue was constantly dark brown, may years ago while I lived
in Germany) but well, they don\'t hurt. And I still enjoy them.

Hah! Did not know that one - but I am not much of a drinker anyway.
One of these bottles would last for years at my drinking rate,

at amazon.de (so the transport charge would be acceptable) after
they disappeared from Sofia.

Not sure what this is... I remember there was a brand of cigarettes
named \"Victory\" - is it that? I don\'t smoke since 1992 so I have lost
touch, don\'t even notice what other people smoke.

They\'re a type of lozenge, similar to Fisherman\'s Friend.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_V

They used to contain Chloroform and Ether in sufficient quantity to make
you quite floaty if you ate a whole packet. I used to eat loads of them
at school.

Would love to see that place some time. Good movie background too of

Keeping in mind that those fusion researchers measure efficiency in
terms of heat out of the device vs. heat into it. Without considering
the energy used in the very inefficient supporting equipment. Overhaul
efficiency so low as to be absurd. \"Over unity\" is newspeak.

It\'s a proof-of-principle machine, and mainly intended to let people work out how well nuclear bombs are going to work without having to go to the bother of testing an actual bomb.

Something seriously intended for net energy generation would look very different.

https://hb11.energy/

is actually aimed at that. Fusing hydrogen and boron doesn\'t release neutrons so it is a whole lot more practical. It needs much higher temperatures but Heinrich Hora has got a scheme that he thinks can be made to work - there\'s a very non-linear interaction involved. I haven\'t put any of my own money into it yet - the first stage got over-subscribed very quickly, and I hadn\'t looked at the web-site since they started raising more capital.

One milestone was to get more fusion energy out than light energy in.
It took about 20 years to understand how to do that.

There are people who think that there is a real path to using lased
induced fusion as a practical power source. It\'s a long shot but not
impossible.

NIF is used for a lot of other experiments, with very different
targets, so one may as well fire some fusion shots.

We got a tour of the NIF laser. That\'s the target chamber behind us.
On that spot, a Star Trek episode was filmed.

After 20 years of operation, and roughly 8000 shots, they keep making
progress, in the sense of learning stuff and getting increasing,
over-unity energy gain.

Like the plasma experiments, dynamic instability limits compression
and fusion yield.




Pretty cool.
Why are you all wearing masks? Here they abandoned them, the pandemic
has subsided (and it is summer). Or is it to protect the site you are
at?

They are required inside NIF, don\'t know why. They didn\'t require us
to wear booties or walk on sticky pads to de-dust our shoes, like a
semiconductor fab would.

Few people wear masks here in normal life. Maybe 5% are masked in
public outdoors, maybe 20% at supermarkets, almost none in bars or
restaurants.

I think some people will wear masks forever.

Well masks are not much help against infection unless everybody wears
them but I can understand how people in desperation would wear - say
someone on chemo, even if all the mask gives them is just a feeling
of better safety.
What might be an alternative last line of defence is what what I do, I
put a \"Fisherman\'s Friend\"

in my mouth when on public transport etc. Don\'t know if it works
and I am no longer addicted to these (which I was to a point where
my tongue was constantly dark brown, may years ago while I lived
in Germany) but well, they don\'t hurt. And I still enjoy them.


try this instead ;) https://www.drinksupermarket.com/fisherman-the-original-70cl-30-abv
