- This seems... big.
- "Compact" - tennis court size as opposed to football pitch size.
- Researchers in MIT who are building it, released the papers about why they think it's viable. Very aggressive timeline of 3 to 4 years from construction (starting 2021).
- They are approaching Fusion in a different way to current approaches & hadn't told other scientists what their approach was. This paper expands on that and "distinguishes it totally from all of the start-ups, which are by definition more edgy and higher risk"
- Other effort in France targeting 2035 construction.
- Other researchers think papers prove viability, but timeline is too optimistic.
- "This high-field path still looks viable. If we can overcome the engineering challenges, this machine will perform as we predict"
