Isn’t a Dyson Sphere supposed to use solar panels? I don’t know how you would find enough water to cover the interior of an object with the radius of the Earth
Comment on China plans world’s first fusion-fission power plant
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoNot that I’m aware of. All our power plants are just plain old nuclear energy boiling water. We’re gonna use a damn Dyson Sphere to boil water…
We have bombs that use a similar starting mechanism, but they aren’t exactly useful energy production.

It was a joke. We have invented fission and fusion, but the reactors still attached it to a Rankine Cycle.

I meant that we use neutron breeders to turn certain fuel rod waste into fissile plutonium I think.
The difference with the Chinese invention is that you don’t need to transport the waste to a separate breeder.
