Three Ways to Make a Star on Earth

Massive magnets to confine plasma

This year, construction will begin on the 35-nation megaproject ITER, located in France. A doughnut-shaped, powerplant-size reactor, ITER will contain a fusion reaction within a magnetic ﬁeld and siphon oﬀ energy through its metal walls. Scientists hope to have a test-scale reaction running within the next decade.

A reflective wall in a compact reactor

In Lockheed’s design, a row of magnetic coils create a reﬂective wall to contain the plasma. The company’s small-scale reactor allows scientists to tweak experimental setups more nimbly than they can with a reactor the size of ITER. Lockheed says it has already ﬁred up its reactor 200 times but won’t release any data—so whether those attempts were successful remains to be seen. If they were, well, we may all be driving literal Ford Fusions before long.

A micro-explosion ignited by lasers

At the National Ignition Facility, scientists approach fusion diﬀerently. They ﬁre dozens of lasers at a BB-size bead of solid deuterium and tritium. In a billionth of a second, the hydrogen-based fuel collapses into a dense plasma and bursts into a puﬀ of energy. Last year, scientists produced the ﬁrst-ever net positive fusion reaction, meaning they got slightly more energy out of the plasma than they put in.

Why do the Indian telecom operators offer their services with 28 days validity, not 30 days?😡😡

Here telecom operator are very clever, b ecause telecom operators want to earn money of 13 months instead of 12 months. Let do the calculation and find out why telecom operators are offering 28 days validity. Each month they get 2 days more, therefore in a year they get additional 24 days. There are 7 month which has 31 days so they get additional 7 days.Now in case of February ,it has only 28 days not 30. So the total number of days they get are=24+7-2=29 days. So if you recharge 12 times then more 29 days are left in a year.🤔🤔 Means for another 29 days you have to recharge from that telecom operator.😫😫 So you have to recharge 13 times in a year instead of 12 times in a year. So telecom operators provide 28 days validity only. First one telecom operator started and then another telecom operators also understood this concept and they also applied 28 days validity both in data packs and voice packs.😱😱😱
