Compact Fusion Reactor

[Alberto32]

Probably a big yawn just like the other compact fusion reactor that LM was hyping at the middle of the last decade. Little news about lately about it and IIRC LM’s device should have in demonstration mode by now. Quantum computers will be a reality before CFRs. The R&D funding for quantum research is likely accelerating at a faster rate than fusion now (at least in China and the US).

Australia sets ‘ambitious goal’ to build first complete quantum computer, here's the information on the Australian Quantum computer.

Many of the G7 (and others) countries are making similar investments but China has committed 15-20 billion according to some reports. Certainly the US has billions invested to but likely no where as near as much as China. Not unreasonable to imagine China obtaining information on foreign progress wrt quantum research as well.

Are they going to run it using drop bears?

Either that or VB fueled generators.
