Fusion Breakthrough: 150% energy return

[Beny Karachun]

What is nuclear fusion and what have scientists achieved?

After 70 years of research, experts in California have for the first time proven ignition is possible

This is an older milestone that the NIF seems to republish every so many years to generate publicity to get more funding. It’s all eyewash.

This is not the first time it’s happened- happened about maybe a decade ago at the NIF. Here is BBC article from 2013 about the same https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-24429621.amp

They use 500 MJ to get laser beam of 2 MJ that then creates 2.5 MJ. No one can point out the pathway to gain that will take us to the gain necessary to get net input energy gain.

Wrong dude.
This is the first time energy gain was claimed to be achieved.

From 2013

Fusion milestone passed at US lab - BBC News

Researchers at a US lab have passed a crucial milestone on the way to their ultimate goal of achieving self-sustaining nuclear fusion.

If you want, we can descend into game of the difference between energy absorbed vs energy of the lasers vs net energy etc

Well this isn't net energy gain, whereas now, it was achieved.

It’s eyewash bro. Define net energy gain.

Hmmm... I think you're right after reading it again, however, there has to be a difference between what happened today and what happened in 2013, what is it?

Energy input defined differently.
Energy absorbed by pellet (2013)
Total Energy in laser (now)
