Guest Benedict Cumberbatch Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 i nearly attended this. i heard obama was going to be at the dedication ceremony so wanted to but then he didnt so I didnt. I did the online registration for the whole event. pretty much paid my rent this year so far. exciting news if it works, but I think the chance of it working efficiently is unlikely Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46121-possible-fusion-energy/#findComment-1053952 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdamAnchorman Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 Quote Deuterium is freely available in seawater Not sure how "freely available" the process is for extracting deuterium from seawater. Some googling says it's a proven process; I'm guessing it's not energy efficient but you surely get that back on the back end since you only need a tiny amount to fuse to create a huge amount of energy.
