You guys, humanity is another step closer

to harnessing the nuclear powers of the sun.

Hey guys, Trace here, for DNews, with some engineering

can produce many suns-- seriously, for real this time.

I know, they've been saying, give us 30 more years

They might have been closer than they thought.

We are close to solving the mystery of fusion power

Fusion offers a near limitless pollution-free cheap source

And it's waste is the super-rare helium 3 or helium 4

or perhaps more deuterium-- plus ideally, hundreds of times

The best part, we get all of this with no more radiation

Fusion involves combining two atoms into one.

But the whole fusion thing, so much more efficient.

used 192 laser beams to create an x-ray pocket

The pocket super heats the hydrogen deuterium fuel

But inside that pocket, as the small piece of fuel

burns at 100 million Kelvin, they move so fast,

they slam into each other, fusing and creating new atoms,

releasing massive amounts of energy in the process.

that they can create this reaction for a microsecond,

They say we haven't perfected that little pellet of deuterium

And those imperfections cause it to burn up too quickly.

the EU, the US, China, India, South Korea, and Russia

are all funding a single fusion plant in France,

It's a different design, but here's to hoping one of them

use some cheap, clean energy right about now.

So there's one tiny little thing that I probably

Scientists are saying that we are about 30

years from flipping the switch on a power plant,

Are you on board with this fusion power thing,

or should we just forget it and stick only

to renewables and other proven technologies?
