Supposedly clean energy. Will mean the death of fossil fuels. That may cause some upheavals. Saudis will be pissed. I think you have to pretty much build a fission plant to power the fusion plant.

I'm hoping that cheap clean energy should be enough to power some great social type projects.

I hope it don't make new weapons.

Shouldn't. Already have fusion bombs and fusion bombs wrapped in fissionable material. Unless they get the power consumption down even miniaturizing a fusion plant won't help power ships and stuff.

Now a solar powered fusion plant would do wonders in space.
 
That fusion thing the Brits are playing with: it gets over a million degrees. How do you transfer the heat to make electricity?

An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates, but it's St. Peter's day off, and the junior angel manning the gate doesn't let him in. So he goes to the Other Place, and doesn't like it much - it stinks, he has to climb endless winding staircases to get anywhere, and it's as hot as, well, Hell.

He starts sketching designs, asks for some parts, and in a couple of weeks the whole place is fitted with air conditioning, escalators and flush toilets. All the demons are really happy about this, and the engineer becomes extremely popular.

A week later, God phones Satan to ask how things are going down there. To God's surprise, Satan says, "Everything's really great. We got an engineer last month and now we have air conditioning, and escalators, and flush toilets..."

God replies in a voice like desert thunder.

"WHAT? Who sent you an engineer? You're not supposed to get engineers? Send him back, now!"

"I like him, I think I'll keep him"

"Send him back now, or I'll sue!"

Satan laughs. "Where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"

Am wondering myself. Supposedly you need a magnetic bottle to contain because anything else draws away enough energy to quench reaction. I'm assuming that heat just radiates past magnetic containment.

You rig a treadmill so that the hamsters get gradually drawn toward the heat source if they slacken their pace.

Hm. Cuttlefish walk along the sea bed. Didn't know that, I assumed they just swim like squid.

Nah, they don't. They kinda hover. They're so cool. I think they stick close to the floor or rock formations because it's easier to blend in that way - they can change the texture and the color of their skin in incredible ways.
