Long story short. 1950s - we have discovered a fusion power. Its clean, its efficient, its amazing and in 20 years the world will be powered by fusion! 1970s - we almost have it cornered, we know what must be done. We almost have it and in 20 years the world will be powered by Fusion! 1990s - Yes its almost working( for 5 or 10 seconds) but we almost know everything this time and in 20 years we will have first fusion reactor for real this time! a very late 2010s - this time for really really real in 20 years time we will have a fully working fusion reactor!

Yep its been 10-30 years away for 60 years... methinks things do not work like they say it does

@@allanrichardson1468 Tofu is the energy of the future?
I just want fusion within my life time. Who knows there might be a breakthrough, and we get fusion faster than we ever expected.

There is a breakthrough! I'm happy to announce. Join us in celebrating an end to war, and scarcity worldwide.
@@SuperMegaog Do you have any idea how many “concept” reactors have already been built over the years? Fusion is well over 100 years away if ever.
When I was born, nuclear scientists claimed they would produce a fusion reactor within twenty years. Sixty-four years later, we're still twenty years away.
Yep...humans are horrible at predicting the future. Hurts that nuclear energy has been ridiculously de emphasized despite it being safe, cheap, efficient, and incredibly clean.
@@33moneyball why make a cheaper source when you can keep making billions and billions
I hope the answer would be different after another 64 years. But it’s not high hope.
Men trickered sustainable 'Nuclear fusion' is a we can say nowadays just fraud scam and hoax course it is against the laws of physics . And as far as nuclear split atom chaih rdaction is concerned hence; the A , H or Neutron bombs also 10% BS. Nothing will happen nuke wise. Russian empire is exit. The nuclear 'deterant hoax' was not the nuclear war deterant, but just a partly sucdesfull war deterant and to end WW2. Real A-Bombs or H-boms or Netron bombs never haver still don't and never will exist. Why? Course it was just a well prepped hoax,..and. Be course the nucler atom split chainreaction (Atomb bomb) is against / violating the Universal Laws Of Physics. Einstein, Oppenheimer etc were actors coached by natural scientists, 'holywood / Disney studeo's, etc. The Manhattan project was bluff. Heavy water factory raid In Norway intended to let AXIS believe the allies were close to developkig an 'in Science fiction books known weapon called Atomic bomb or Pulse or Ray weapon. Raids on tokio nagasaki and hiroshima are just fire bomb and normal blast bomb raids. The japanesse surrender partly and 'play along' with the allies that the destruction was caused by just one Atom Bomb dropped on several cities by only one bomber (plane) at the time! All so called nuclear tests are one and the same prepped for months or years even kilotons of ordenace and other explosives and combustables blown up in one moment as if it was caused by one little ATOM bomb device. Above and unserground. To make it look real preferable heave radiactive material was added ih the blown up stock pile of 'explosives' to make it look to be an Atom bomb. Chain reaction with radioactive 'fall out'? These above ground always fake just convedtional explotions, sold as life nuke tests , caused cancer radioactive polution etc and were banned almost unanimus by 99,99 % of the countries ih the world. Exept china and warchaupact? Why? Cause most test were not even large explotion but ver early extreemly advance trucked montages small scale films. The H- bomb for instance the most famous one tdst were the remains of axis fleet was blown up. Is just a slow mo movie witadded back grojnd and explotion is a rising sun above the ocean. The ships are models! In nowaday USD dollars that ' movie' production would have cost almost have cost 700 million USD! China and russia were unable to make thdse trucked SF a fake A or H bomb tests. So they persisted in large stock pile prepped for years often big explotions above ground the only showed to there own audience in blank and white and never in colour. The tzar bomb movie from the early 50's is only in the in the 1990's first shown in later added colour! Nukes are and and never were real!
Very true, but we are still significantly closer than we were 64 years ago
2050 sounds about right. That's the year Fusion Reactors are invented in SimCity 2000.
EA was right all along
@@broccoli_jaeger dont speak such heresy's !!!
@@broccoli_jaeger that's the only thing that they were right about.
strictly speaking fusion reactors are already invented, they just arnt in a state that they are energy positive yet.
And just in the nick of time as we ought to be CO2 emission free by then to be in alignment with the Paris Agreement.
So refreshing to see a positive outlook on humanity's future in face of so much negativity all around us. thanks for your efforts.
The best thing is that using ocean water will help slow to rising waters. Maybe not much, but still.
if it makes you feel any better, the compounding effects of co2 *greatly* diminish as the levels get higher, so global warming isnt as big of a concern as people might claim. also plants are steadily getting bigger from the co2 increase, for more food production.

As horrible as the deaths are, they`re not big enough to overwhelm the world population with deaths to the point where the needs will slow down. At most, the rate at which expenditures increase will decrease. We haven`t even reached 1 million deaths, and, considering the current world population to be at 8 billion (it's estimated that we're at 7,8 billion), is a ratio of 1/8000, so covid is not even close to making a change to that
Want to reverse the growth in World population? Make everyone middle class and saddle them with taxes, public debt, credit card debt, student loan debt, and a mortgage. Working to pay it off, the middle class then has fewer children than is necessary for replacement.
@@Foolish188 meanwhile, all the poor people not working will be popping out 7 kids lol
62 years old and been hearing how it is "just around the corner" since I was at least 12.
Kyle Nearhood I know where you’re coming from, but i would give the justification of being ”different this time” as fusion is now actually possible and achieved. It’a still a lot of work before the EROI is a position number, but still a different situation :)
Well I don't know, Juho. Seems like every time they turn on a new Tokomak they find out something new about plasma that sends them back to the drawing board and building a new 10x Tokomak. Size and cost. Aaaaand repeat. Different this time? We are ten years away from practical fusion power. And always will be.
Basil McDonnell Yeah. Valid point, but as fusion is something becoming a banality, it’s proof of progress. Could well still stand that fusion is the energy production of the future. For ever.
Thank u for saying that. Its completely true. Also I believe that we could have already had fusion reactors however it would have been too disruptive to current methods for generating energy.
Sure! But THIS time is for real ; )

What really is amazing is.... The whole world finance ITER and it's total budget is around 30 billion, but no "biggie" just creating green unlimited energy… 30 billion (by 2015 14 billion) but lets say 100 billion or 200 billion divided on 20 years or so... Say 10 billion/Year… paid by the whole world… the USA defense budget by itself is 70x-100x larger…. I would say throw a trillion on ITER to speed it up, it is easily worth much more than that. Where the fuck is common sense??? Global energy revenue is around 2 trillion/year… A "Simple fix" for global warming… unlimited energy would make Hydrogen feasible…. everything goes electric
What could go wrong?
@@qinby1182 what ben said; soon enough it will be cheaper to burn money, than to find new sources of energy
Dumping $100 trillion dollars into research into a warp engine still won't give us a warp engine. We can't get the fusion reactions to as much break even on energy input to output. To make it a practical source of power, it'd need to put out 50-fold more energy than it takes to keep the reaction going. At the current rate of incremental progress, assuming it could continue in a linear fashion, we won't have feasible fusion power until about 500,000 AD. Not exactly a practical solution.

Actually it is possible right now. Experimental fusion reactors do exist, and they work, the problem is that we cant create the heat required efficiently enough, resulting in more energy being consumed than made. It's only a matter of time at this point

This may be off topic but some one may find it interesting. :D Device to end the creation of Nuclear waist. Step 1: calculate how much energy you need pumped into the motor to make a vertically positioned circular platter with magnets in-bedded horizontally around it's left side and right side so there pushing force is pushing out sideways relative to the vertically spinning disc to spin fast. :D Step 2: Calculate how many sets of copper coils you need to be interacting with magnetic fields to achieve this & to perpetuate more electrical current flow then is needed. :D Step 3: Build a round horizontally positioned platter covered in all these copper coils pointed down that does not move (Is stationary) :D Step 4: build a round platter covered in powerful magnets pointed up that can spin and place it directly under platter with hanging copper coils. :D Step 5: Position the vertical platter that is motorized close to the horizontally positioned platter covered in magnets pointing up so that when the vertically positioned platter spins the in-bedded horizontally positioned magnetic fields slam sideways against the edge of the horizontally positioned platter causing it to spin. :) Step 6: Make sure enough of the copper coils are feeding their electrical current into the motor and the rest of the copper coils are linked into a set of rechargeable Battery's placed right next to the motor spinning the one vertically positioned disc. Step 7: Build a duplicate setup of horizontally positioned discs with hanging copper coils and disc with upwards facing magnets and position it to the front right, the back left and the back right of the vertically positioned motorized disc. As the vertically positioned motorized disc spins the horizontally in-beaded magnets will now hit into all 4 horizontally positioned discs causing them to spin. so you will effectively be using the spin of one disc powered by one motor to spin 4 constructs that are each generating electrical current. now build this whole setup multiple times over and use the current perpetuated by it to power up scaled electromagnetic generators that are equal to or more powerful than the ones used in a nuclear power plant. You will now have a device that is self perpetuating off of it's own electrical current perpetuation and no nuclear waist to worry about.

He leaves out one possibility: that even if fusion becomes a viable technology (in the sense that a prototype plant is able to produce continuous power) it may still be too expensive to build and maintain fusion power plants, so the technology is at some point determined to be impractical.
Our efficiency will always increase. Just like the quantum computer, fusion is only a matter of time. No new scientific or engineering breakthroughs are needed, just a plan and better efficiency

Saying fusion is 30 years away now is totally different from saying fusion is 30 years away 50 or 80 years ago. It's moving the goalpost to go from "fusion will be achieved" to "we'll have a bunch of actual commercial uses powering homes". _Assuming_ the ITER project works, then fusion is only roughly 5 years away, it just won't be mass-adopted. In fact with the original goalpost probably being "fusion will be achieved", we hit that goal back in the 90s, getting close to 30 years ago now (well 23-24, but getting there)

**talks about sun** **Vivaldi’s Winter in the background**
Pointing toward the Grand Solar Minimum, I think.
@Ajit Adonis Manilal I assume you probably don't think this, but a lot of people seem to. Fusion reactors require huge energy input to stay running (even if they put out more energy than is put in), so they cannot really run away like that. Even modern fission plants are very, very unlikely to go chernobyl; the chernobyl incident took place in a reactor that was already vastly outdated, and had essentially no safeguards. Even Chernobyl, though, did not produce a nuclear explosion; it was a steam explosion, from hot reactor meeting coolant water. You fundamentally need weapons grade fuel for a nuclear weapon.
To add onto what Alex Lewis said about fusion, if it does begin a meltdown it will melt the reactor walls, destroying the electromagnets, and then the plasma will fissile away, meaning, while yes, you will have to repair or replace the reactor, it will not prevent the surrounding area from being livable... unless it was it’s only source of electricity and they can’t source it from anywhere else
Maybe Nuclear "Winter"?
A *_HUGE_* benefit of fusion energy that never seems to be discussed is that with a portion of the heat used to generate fusion we could have absolutely perfect recycling of all our waste and garbage. Just burn all our waste down to it's raw constituent ions, use magnets to sort the ions into each of the distinct elements, and we have a world where there are no more landfills and toxic waste dumps!! Now _that's_ a big benefit at trivial extra cost and effort!!

Reupload from 1989 Nice video (and Moustache!) though!
Next time with Tony's/Dr. Strange's beard
yeah and Stark Industry has it since 2008 or earlier
Too expensive, too complicated. Cold fusion or Free energy are the answers. We have had free energy since the 1930's. Tesla was shut down by our favorite elite families. Cold fusion was shut down by these hot fusion asswipes...
Jose Raul Miguens Cruz - Yep. And For tonight’s star prize (drum-roll) yes! China and India! Us whitey Westerners (And Russkies of course) were so fixated on fission reactors, because plutonium was a byproduct, and we all know what that’s used for! 💥 thorium should have a fan base and theme song 😈
My science teacher in 7th grade (1976) was telling us breeder reactors were right around the corner.
Sun: Great ball of fire Every scientist ever: We should make that on earth
The sun isn't a ball of fire. It is a ball of super heated ionised hydrogen atoms. Big difference.
@@radioaktiv2531 Chill your tits it's a joke.

Music was a bit off in this segment lol, but yet another great video!! "But things are actually different this time " *cue Simpsons shenanigans music*
7:48 It's always nice to catch a favorite KZheadr in a "Hold my beer" moment. I recognize all the music in this video, but I can't remember any of the titles...well, I know Pachelbel's Canon (who doesn't?), but I'd appreciate any help naming the others.
The entire modern world was built by impossible dreams, stable, positive g fusion will happen in our lifetime and it will change the world in ways few people can imagine. Thank you Arran for yet another great video!
Christian Pauchet it already has (sort of) as he indicated. It’s making it economic that’s the problem.
@Jeff Sol they didn't lie, they overestimated our capacity for achieving such a complex task. This doesn't mean we have to stop trying.
@@bradadult5290 your invaluable input should be shared by humanity as the most profound source of wisdom and knowledge we've ever had the privilege of witnessing. We stand in awe! you amazing chromosome thief!
1940 fusion is 30 years away, 1970 fusion is 30 years away 2000, fusion is 30 years away, 2019 fusion is between 10-30 years away, hey wait we are telling the truth this not a joke, why are you walking away?
They have to be telling some truth because they said 10-30 years. Not just 30. So we are making progress!

@easy deism You have PEPE as an avatar, talk about depression and negativity xD
No this time they will, I BELIEVE! And the evils of fission will finally END! Kappa. Even though gen 4 Nuclear plants are safe as hell and all the boogie talk applies mostly to old plants, sigh. P.S.: Safe as Hell, did you see what I did there, hah. Now I feel embarrassed...
Ayy lol
Back in the 1968/1969 school year when I was only in 5th grade I remember seeing a film in class and it said that fusion would be about 50 years away. At that time 50 years in the future seemed incomprehensible but that time came and went and still not fusion :(
Gotta be honest .. this is one of the best informative channels on KZhead
Humanity needs to things to secure its future: a) An almost infinite, almost free source of Energy b) That a) never ever be monopolized by some governments and/or companies.... ;-)
@Probably Not Agree, however, even having the Saint Grail in our hands can be twisted by a few that always want to get profits... that I wanted to emphasize that as Human kind, we must change, if we want to have future...
@@DavidSanchez-vx4bv You can't monopolize anything for arbitrary periods of time. People will find workarounds. Always have and always will. Also, no such thing as "too late" when it comes to "overpopulation". If people are competent they'll find solutions to any problem, including "overpopulation" (we have more than enough space and means on earth and an infinite amount of space outside of earth). If they aren't competent people will start dying without going extinct. One way or another, there is no long-term threat to survival stemming from overpopulation.
@@nal8503 However, History shows lot of attempts to do that, from Oil, Gold, Water even powder and silk. In this time is advanced technology and information. True, those attempts fail sooner or later, however, depending on the situation, this monopolization may impact the Human evolution
@@DavidSanchez-vx4bv Of course there will be attempts. However, they are generally futile. Increasingly so with increasing population. I would actually argue that any such negative attempts are a driving force of humanity. When we perceive injustice or hardships we become more likely to act than when life is nice and easy.
If they build a successful fusion reactor I have a few rules ONE whoever invents it MUST say *“THE POWER OF THE SUN IN THE PALM OF MY HAND”* TWO If fusion makes its way into the automotive segment Ford has to reintroduce the FUSION AND IT HAS TO BE POWERED BY FUSION
He's got the whole world, in his hands.

@@callofdutysoviet Come on, if the sun comes, vault 88 won't keep you safe you melting pip.
Amd the gillette fusion will let you burn off your beard with nuclear fusion
Second
Like chemistry, fusion has multiple equations, turning this into that. The simplest equation to implement releases stray particles. Also called radioactive waste.
One thing with fusion reactors is that they need to break the laws of thermo dynamics
No they don’t
Everyone: Nuclear fusion is 30 years away. The Sun: Am I a joke to you :(
You're a joke until we can create a Dyson Sphere which is always a thousand years away
@@Spartacus547 We aren't gonna have a dyson sphere. There's not enough usable material in our solar system to build one.
the nuclear stuff doesn't go boom. its the water flash converting to steam that goes boom. water expands 1800x when converting from liquid to gas.
Please explane your concerns further
@@thesteambreaker9449 A reasonably designed nuclear reactor is inherently stable. If you withdraw a control rod and increase reactivity, the reactor heats up a little bit, the distance between fuel atoms increases slightly, which reduces reactivity, the neutron thermal temperature changes slightly and reactivity is reduced, water expands and some is pushed out of the reactor, so the neutron temperature increases slightly and reactivity is reduced. If you remove heat at a greater rate then power will remain higher. If you don't the core is just a little hotter. It's not balancing on a needle between shutting down and exploding. Actual failure modes of power reactors that are licensable in the west are of the cooling was lost or core was uncovered somehow and decay heat slowly melted the core. Steam can react with the hot zirconium clading making hydrogen, but it can't actually explode in the core because there's no oxygen. If the hydrogen is released it can mix with oxygen and explode somewhere outside the reactor core and make a mess. RBMK, e.g. Chernobyl would never have been, but even there it was a steam explosion from operating the reactor in an unsafe condition; it's dual moderated, so boiling in the core creates bubbles that neutrons zip across; the graphite is a better moderator than water, so this actually increase reactivity, which increases boiling, which increases reactivity and it spirals out of control. You can't create a nuclear explosion in incredibly badly designed reactors, such as the SL-1 research reactor, which had a single control rod. When it got stuck, a technician pulled on it and it came loose suddenly, increasing reactivity in the core massively. The steam explosion shot the control rod out of the core and pinned the technician to the ceiling. No nuclear explosion. When the army was experimenting with highly enriched weapons grade uranium in the form of uranium-deuteride for creating small nuclear bombs. They fully intended it to blow up with the highest yield possible; you need much less fuel since it is moderated. The moderation means you slow down the neutrons so the fission crossection gets much bigger; but slowing down the neutrons also means the time between each neutron generation increases and there are less generations before the bomb blows apart. The highest yield they got was 200 tonnes of TNT equivalent, which is abysmal. It's hard to even purposefully make a "reactor" that will cause some kind of nuclear explosion. Small well designed reactors can completely eject control rods out of the core using compressed air, raising the power from tens of watts to a couple of GW for some milliseconds and then rapidly dropping down to a few kilowatts. It's all automatic based on physical laws. There's no active measure there to make it happen or to prevent some kind of disaster. It looks like this: kzhead.info/sun/fralhLiCqKePao0/bejne.html
@@soylentgreenb thank you I was falsely thinking there was a connection beeing drawn between flash conversion of water and fusion energy and I seamed to be missing the point that was beeing tryed to make. Clearly I was miss reading the statement and appologize. In case Iam wrong in my understanding once again Be free to correct me.
water expands only 4 times its volume when flashing from a liquid to a gas
@@lloydadkins885 I've seen numbers from 1:1600 to 1:1700...Where do you get 1:4?
Correct me if I'm wrong, my information are from 40 years ago. The nuclear fusion itself is not the end of the story because it's not electricity. In order to achieve that, Deuterium an Tritium need to be fused and that emits one neutron per molecule (pn + pnn => pnpn + n). These are captured in a Lithium blanket around the fusion core. The Lithium heats up and from this point on it goes like any other conventional power reactor: Lithium heats water, steam powers a turbine, which drives a generator. The problem here is the Lithium which gets fed loads of Neutrons and thus becomes radioactive. So in the end, nuclear fusion is not so clean as you've advertised it, unless my information is outdated.

😂
If it's truly efficient, it'll never come. Why would WE get truly efficient, economic energy...that's not the plan.
"Why Nuclear Fusion Really is Coming Soon".....mentions 2050.At this point,I question his definition of..."soon".
@@cerbralone Actually had to think for a moment there.

At the scale of humanity it's very soon.

bro i so damn love these like futuristic informational vids its so damn cool. like i family have hope for humanity
you could advance indoor growing as energy would be so easy to cleanly produce thus removing the need to kill so much land for farming and then help reduce the land changing structures like damns used for power production.
If fusion reaction becomes a viable source of energy in my lifetime, I'll be a happy man

I don't know. Can I trust you?
7:50 sorta creeped me out when you said "final solution". lol
Nice. Just one thing: a nuclear reactor is NOT a nuclear bomb. You need material of about 93% (Plutonium, or Uranium) to get an explosion. You have about 4% purity in rods used in reactors. If 'you loose control of it' as you put it, it melts. The bang comes from the overheated water used in a reactor, that turns into steam.
