The Reblog of the Ken

Either thats a really old post or its just bullshit. We have had colored fusion reactor video footage for a decade, probably more.

This is even in slow motion, very pretty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhHsOwLdCu4

My pet peeve is relative timestamps

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What is the pulsing near the base, does anyone know?

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

The firefly bits? Probably part of the reactor wall getting knocked off and vaporizing.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Slow motion? But in the title says high speed...

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The camera is high speed (up to 20000fps according to the video description) and is being played back in slow motion.

Please. Recording in color.

We just managed to get my wife's mother to use "people of color". Don't give her an excuse to backslide!

It’s so hot it’ll probably overcook your meat loaf.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How dense is it? Might not burn you if there's low thermal mass.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

I'd assume it's enough to burn you, given the plan is to use this to heat water and turn a turbine.

[–] diffaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

We never know until someone tries that.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

GOOD point.
