- NortySpock 3y agoExcellent production quality, but I would have appreciated a bit more skepticism on the part of the host of Real Engineering. In particular, adding tritium to a fusing deuterium plasma does not just make all of the fusion a-neutronic. It just makes some percentage of the fusion events a-neutronic. So you're "just" adding a fuel additive that "just" changes the emissions somewhat Plus, apparently D-T fusion tends to release gamma rays -- I'm sure that will also be tricky to either convert into useful energy or shield against. I'm all in favor of trying, and I wish them luck, but it all smacked of a last minute publicity event to try to reassure investors that they were just one last upgrade away from producing power. I would suggest the (longer, dryer) fusion master class series by Dr. Matthew Moynihan https://youtu.be/BGu0cxrWWCA?si=lozD5-5MT1d-WEp9 https://youtu.be/BGu0cxrWWCA?si=lozD5-5MT1d-WEp9
