I have always been interested in the use of nuclear fusion as a power source. It would be very difficult to obtain, and possibly expensive, but I think it will be an excellent source of electricity once it is off the ground. Opinions on nuclear fusion power plants welcomed.
last time i heard about the fusion reactor in princeton, i think i heard a number like 60% or 70% yield. but it was a long time ago (4 yrs?), and i can t remember too exactly. i d like to hear more recent data if anyone has them..
poked around on the web a little bit. looks like they finished the experiment and removed the reactor in 1997. do they have a new reactor? i don t know
there is a fusion reactory in south australia dont rember much except that it exists THINK its a donut reactor
You learn something everyday Asguard, never knew Australia had a fusion research program http://www.anu.edu.au/AFRG/AFRG.html
HEY from that it seems the only state of any importance (i mean what could tassi contributePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!) thats missing is victoriaPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! we got left out againPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Victoria is only there to shorten the distance to Tassie. What else could it be for? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I'm a Westralian Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Melbourne's not bad, don't like the newish trams though. Prefered the old style. I lived there from 67 to 77. Most of the family still there. I'm in the Sou'West of WA these days.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
i agree i love the old W class thats what your citys missing B\W you need trams and history when i was there everything seemed so NEW, i couldnt find anything with any history like flinders street station ect
hey B\W why would anyone WANT to be closser to tassie?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Yep, West Aussies don't seem to like old things, except if they have to travel vast distances and pay money. I think we have the 'cultural cringe' mentality the worst of all the states. Probably trying to prove we are as good as the eastern states instead of being happy with who we are.
MIT has a very promising reactor. their Qs are competetive with most other experimental reactors. I don't know if they are with ITER or not, but I think they are on par at the very least with them. I'm a huge proponent of fusion, and I've taken considerable time to reserch the subject and whatnot. plasma physics is pretty challengine. xxx.lanl.gov has some good preprints on the subject of fusion and plasma physics. It's not very n00b-friendly though. the articles are very math-laden. Ever try actually reading the text in between the equations in a math book? it's kinda like that. -IggDawg
