does Kurzgesagt know how Fusion Power works?

youtube.com/watch?v=mZsaaturR6E

Kurzgesagt also did a trilogy of videos on Trad-Nuclear Energy, clocking in at about 15 minutes.

Non nuclear related energy sources are a waste of time. Thorium fission and eventually fusion is the future

Here is a Tutorial on how to build a Solar Panel charger for your laptop.

As far as I like ecology, this is not economically advantageous to me.
The ROI on these are fucken decades

Here are some of the latest news stories pertaining to Nuclear Energy

Has anyone thought about doing a Kickstarter campaign for research on, and testing of, Nuclear Fusion Energy?

The Sunswift Violet should be the base template for Mass Produced Solar cars in the mid-to-late 2020s.

Do you like anime?

How is that on topic?

big plexi-glass box with a water wheel inside.
generator hooked to it.

My electricity is metered, I get charged continously as it gets used, power goes off if I don't top it up. Anyone have experience with small scale solar? Not looking for huge roof mounted arrays, but I wouldn't mind using solar for just my phone for example.
Would the cost of the panel be paid off soon enough? Or would I be paying 10's of currency just to save pennies?

Got a better idea...

Those pennies add up, keep on pinching.

Do solar cells degrade at all? I imagine if you don't keep the panel clean it becomes less efficient?

Here are a couple articles for you.

Focus Fusion or LPP did. Their concept sounds relatively sound actually.

Call me when commercial PV cells do 40%

These shitty things don't work. I have a 50w panel +500Wh battery though, which generates enough juice to power my entertainment from spring to autumn.

We last heard from LPPfusion in Christmas Eve, 2018.

Who knows what they have in store for the future.

What country? UK here so I imagine I'll see fuck all power in winter but hopefully some in the summer.

I heard Yuma, Arizona is one of the sunniest places out there.

Did you know, they are now selling Solar Powered Cell Phones?

Transparent Solar Panels are also a thing...

someone post the virgin solar panel vs chad wind turbine, pls.
