  I read thorough it for the details.

  It was net negative power, requiring 2MW of power to maintain fusion. The major achievement of this particular experiment was doing so without the fusion reaction damaging the containing assembly.

    Thanks for this TLDR. I’m too high to read actual things.

      You need to be the right amount of high to properly understand fusion. Too far either way, and it doesn’t make sense.

        Eh, fusion isn’t that complicated. You push things together and heat them up until they get even hotter on their own. That’s all that’s happening.

      I haven’t read the original comment or about how conversations work but would it not be easier to Google chatgpt?

      Seems like the person wants to learn something, but with zero effort. (i.e. won’t read the article; and certainly won’t look for additional context or information.) So maybe it would be better to post the question into an AI chatbot. You can just ask whatever question, and get some plausible but possibly-bullshit answer; then feel good for satisfying your curiosity.
