Comment on France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes

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.
