Now we just need to convert the output energy into a usable form ayoo


It's that the harnessable output energy is lower than the input energy atm :/

The harnessable output is much higher in the concentration of energy, but is not sustainable in it's current form. Yeah it takes SIGNIFICANT amounts of energy to produce a fusion reaction, but the ratio is incomparable when it comes to the pure energy output from fusion.

Are you disagreeing?

the concentration of energy > What concentration of energy?
not sustainable in it's current form > Clarify? Stellarator is theoretically sustainable = current form.

but the ratio is incomparable when it comes to the pure energy output from fusion. > Clarify? Because not really atm for terrestrial application, which is what we're talking about

I guess I went a little off from the Stellarator and was talking of my uncles research.
His research methodology is different than the Stellarator with concentration of lasers.

Concentration of Energy - The fusion reaction, when blasted with concentrated lasers, produces a very small burst of insanely intense energy that dissipates nearly instantly. (Such as the energy of the sun)

Sustainability - The fusion reaction creates a blink of that intense energy currently, to my knowledge, and it would need to be contained somehow and harnessed. I am unsure how they will do that, but my uncle has been dedicating his life to fusion energy.

The ratio of the energy input would seem to be high comparably to the actual fusion reaction, but the infinitesimally small reaction creates almost as much energy, if not as much, as the input. Thus that small reaction, once sustained, contained, and harnessed, would create infinite energy. Theoretically.

Touche, also my bad.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the state of entropy of the entire universe, as an isolated system, will always increase over time. The second law also states that the changes in the entropy in the universe can never be negative


I shouldn't say that when I know energy is never created, nor destroyed.
