I wasn’t aware of that distinction about the energy for the laser to generate the heat energy within the reaction not being factored into the Q value, very interesting, thank you! Would that energy for the laser still be required in a “stable reaction” continuously, or would it be something that would “trail off”?

I didn’t see any mention of the output in the article. 22MW injected, but does anyone know if the reaction was actually generating a positive output?

I wasn’t sure before but at that resolution it definitely looks like there’s a Pentium 2 and that weird vertical CPU slot they had for a while on the left hand corner of the desk.

That Toshiba satellite isn’t fooling anyone, that is straight out of the early 2000s!
