Google Tech Talks November 9, 2006 ABSTRACT This is not your father’s fusion reactor! Forget everything you know about conventional thinking on nuclear fusion: high-temperature plasmas, steam turbines, neutron radiation and even nuclear waste are a thing of the past. Goodbye thermonuclear fusion; hello inertial electrostatic confinement fusion (IEC), an old idea that’s been made new. While the international community debates the fate of the politically-turmoiled billion ITER (an experimental thermonuclear reactor), simple IEC reactors are being built as high-school science fair projects. Dr. Robert Bussard, former Asst. Director of the Atomic Energy Commission and founder of Energy Matter…

Nuclear… Clean…  These two terms do not mesh, how about geothermal?
The quake in japan shows when nuclear does its job right, and also displayed when goes wrong. All reactors survived the quake itself. Even the old fukushima reactors (build in the 60s before containment domes became mandatory) despite their age survived. It even survived the tsunami. Ãt didn’t survive the lack of aid afterwards. A combination of lack of training, an obsession with hierarchy (no initiative) and TEPCO more busy with saving face than stopping fukushima. In short, it was avoidable.
Do you still have the same opinion on nuclear power after what happened in Japan?
You see… It wasn’t an accident. It was an earthquate in the middle of the ocean, miles and miles away from Japan, which moved lots of water towards the plant and bang! The whole thing was destroyed.
And let’s be honest: you can’t get much safer and modern than Japan, can you? The Japanese are really good on that field.
that old guy is one seriously clever dude!,
we all should go nuclear
even households
Waaahahahah!!! Brilliant. Have a nice day Mart’.
Go for it Google!
Nuclear power is dark side of science and is not clean or cheap.
Yes.
nuklear power is fun, its so unpradictable and exiting
Why (yes!)?
I’ll bring my f@ckin tools, when are we gonna throw up the big google garage doors and commence to build the machine. It is sad that he has to look back to people educated in the 1930’s to find the physics and engineering back rounds to complete such a device.
@Zoolotofsteam  yeah man it should be a crime…. lol
Looks like a toolbaggers wannabe forum.
we need less nuclear power plants much less
No. 
Perhaps youtube is trying to better you?
Im sorry, but youtube needs to stop putting random videos into my recommended area, Im sure this is a great video and all but Im truly not interested in it, i don’t understand how youtube recommends videos of nuclear energy and google to a person such as myself who watches almost exclusively gaming videos. /rant
However, as a military asset it could be (even if indirectly) used to kill lots of people! Lol, it would decadently funny if it would be used on subs for a global war for oil.
He’s talking about inertial confinement? DPF will get there first.
Nucell Nuclear Battery, Paul Maurice Brown, Rex Research has data. That’s best nuke battery. Although truth be told, you don’t need fuel for power, that’s ridiculous, you need only understand what causes time to pass. How to tap that current of energy. All this I explain on my channel, sorry to boast here, but it is very simple using projective geometry, root of all geometries. Fusion is a fractal jump of smallest particle loss in recreating matter which is a 3rd pole, ie; a re-alignment.
Yes blow it with Rothchilds!
I’m a stupid nobody and I’m extremely impressed by this man and this amazing technology.
However, it confounds me how brilliant science can be so delayed by simple mistakes/oversights. My guess is, had an audio engineer or other person who knows how magnetic coils work, been present, he/she would have quickly pointed out the error in coil design and placement.
1+1=2
Energy from sand? Google should go Bloom Box. Oh ya, they already have the Bloom Box. Why are we even talking about this. Can you fix Youtube, somebody broke it and it’s a mess.
