Not so hasty.
They're just proving that the plasma could be stable. And they apparantly did.
They're going to try again in januari, but with hydrogen.

Source? I can't find any articles about this.

What's significant about that? The Brits did it year's ago, the problem you only get something like 0.65 the energy out that you put in.

Not in this fucking plant they didnt

Plasma confinement stability is a very hard problem, and basically the entire reason that fusion reactors aren't already viable. Proving that this reactor configuration can confine a plasma in a sufficiently stable state for a significant time is a large step.

Why don't they just make a star and put it into a reactor

So I'm supposed to be impressed that the German's built a larger version of the magnet meme that's been draining resources away from real fusion research for half a century?

They built a stellarator, not a tokamak. Very different characteristics.

It's worse than that. The fucking idiots will run this thing in fusion-free configurations. Not as in sub-breakeven, but as in 100% FUSION FREE.

It's a plasma stability experiment and fucking retarded.

The kek mindset have ruined this fucking continent.

Stars are compressed by own gravity. You really don't want something with gravitational pull of 20x the mass of Jupiter on Earth. Never mind creating it.

A hypercentrifuge could create pretty wild Gs without all the mass.

crazy

They will do fusion later on. Currently they test on helium to check if it holds well.

thank you I was saying this in another thread that this is just a plasmacontainment test in old ass technology and I was shouted town by "omg it looks like alien spaseship xD" faggots
