of course there will be skepticism until it's published and replicated. still, it's cool that non-academic research into Fusion is going strong somewhere against all the short term profit obsession of corporate USA

Very excited for this to never be adopted because of a broad coalition of environmentalists and oil/coal companies who convince the public that this is nearly as dangerous as ebola

idk what to make of this because high beta spherical tokamaks already exist and are super compact and aren't currently just a glorified trashcan with a metal donut in them (which is what this thing currently is judging from the Mother Jones video). There's also a bunch of other stuff about the design that I'm not sure about but since they haven't actually released any information on it beyond "we've got a rad idea" any comment on it is probably dumb well that's all I have to say god bless
