Our energy future depends on nuclear fusion, says Michel Laberge. The plasma physicist runs a small company with a big idea for a new type of nuclear reactor that could produce clean, cheap energy. His secret recipe? High speeds, scorching temperatures and crushing pressure. In this hopeful talk, he explains how nuclear fusion might be just around the corner.

Unless you have the appropriate Quantum Fields Modulation Mechanism Mathematical Conditions for Fusion, synchronization, which LENR seemed to be set up for, the reaction cannot be Catalyzed?
The real work is done
LoL… Ft by biologic
This guy figured it out. Ez
petty disagreements are stopping us from saving the entire earth, LOTS of money, basically free global power and removing waste that lasts tens of thousands of years…… nice job humanity.
So basically the funding is there but the drive isn't
I am all for this type of clean energy, and scientists like this who think outside the box. Think about it – STEAM power utilized in something like a fusion reactor! What a concept.
It's now 5 years later and they are looking to set up a plant. Not bad. I hope it works out, even if Bezos is doing a bunch of the financing.
ok the intro was awkward. but overall presentation was great
z piinch. cmon
There is Uranium in solution in the oceans aswell.
You could extract the Uranium from the sea and run reactors on it.
How to extract a reaction products from the core?
You want Fusion? Just compress Water Enough…. 🙂 My Idea, Copywrited 15/8/2019.
5 years later, and we are still waiting for this.
This was 4yrs ago, what's the update on this?
Using liquid metal as an acoustic medium is brilliant. Still, the machine looks unwieldy and with the force spikes could become unstable, magnifying any nonconformity in inertia and structure.
Nano scale fusion reactions using sono-luminescence of di-deuterium oxide might be far less expensive, less dangerous and scalable.
Could negative thermal expansion (NTE) material or NTE metamaterial help strengthen heat containment?
He is good at explaining things
Was that joe belfiorie
It reminded me of one scene from the 1951 film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMSRtN2AaWY
im just a 15 year old in highschool,
if we suspend it into the air with magnets, or somehow the way our earth rotates , wouldnt propetual motion keep it going ei; if in space?
then we can spin it extremelly fast, and shoot more nuetrons in the direction its spinning, speeding it up faster & faster.. wouldnt the heat keep itself contained due to gravity? and start emmiting off like the sun?
idk
then we can create a little dyson sphere?
im a highschooler
i wanna discuss this with people, or have sources to do that
in sim city 3k, the fusion power plant became available in the year 2050. Let's hope we can do that irl.
Small superconducting magnetic confinement tokamaks seem more practical and sustainable. Fewer moving parts to wear out and break down and the magnetic confinement can be controlled very precisely.
Somebody should combine this strategy with a Tokamak design. That's the key.
Nice garage.
Meh…Just a nice guy trying to change the world by giving us the power of the sun, no big deal.
I always like to see, when a guy cracks a nut with a feaction of the budget a whole industry was trying to do for decades.
Now this is the kind of nuclear fusion I can understand as a mechanical engineer!
Is there any radiation with this type of reactor?
Yeah…no. This is a dead end. Just stick with what works: the Tokomak.
So where are they now ?
I wonder how loud it is.
It's only 20 years away…
Not convinced. I don't think any mechanical force can effectively and efficiently trigger fusion. Yet, there are ideas that are worth noticing in the MTF. Basically, techniques in the MTF and MCF might benefit each one. I don't think ITER will make it but will provide invaluable research information.
I worry about metal contamination in the plasma with this design. Another vein of research, the dense plasma focus, has discovered that their fusion potential is being reduced at higher energies because their copper electrodes are being vaporized and mixing with the plasma. Their final design will use beryllium electrodes to eliminate the issue. Maybe the lead used for containment in this design will be kept out of the plasma by centripetal force.
Another naïve concept on fusion… rolls eyes It's a common pattern: 1. New idea on how to achieve fusion. 2. A lot of investment on a machine that neither achieves break-even, nor is scalable to a fusion reactor proportions. 3. Idea sent into the garbage can after a lot of money has been spent. It's happened over and over for at least 60 years. Maybe the improvement is that now we know better which ideas will definitely not work, and this is one of them.
Now, almost 3 years later, what did he achieve? Nothing. Talk is cheap. I want to see measurement results from a working prototype. Working means that the energy balance is positive. General Fusion had been founded in 2002, so they had plenty of time.
Sounds like Tesla's "Fireball Fusion Reactor".
an interesting technology but I presume that the tokamak will take over the world. It's a battle between the tomahawk and the hammer
nice
The thing that makes me optimistic about Nuclear Fusion is that there's a bunch of ideas being thrown around now, and some of them actually being tried, besides the old multi-billion dollar costing projects (ITER). If we attack this thing from many angles, surely we'll find a good lead and we'll achieve practical success with one of them.
