#magnets — Public Fediverse posts

Nice new video showing the hoist of our third toroidal field (TF) magnet for our SPARC tokamak — the fusion demonstration machine we're building at CFS HQ in Massachusetts. These electromagnets (each strong enough to lift a small aircraft carrier) will help hold a superhot cloud of charged particles called a plasma. When those particles collide — that's fusion — the process releases tremendous amounts of energy. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lflVjhWgads

For example:

- #Chinese servers on Aegis #warships were removed due to reported #TrojanHorse(s): #chips in automated systems activated when China sends #malicious malware
- Pentagon removed #Chinese #RareEarth #magnets from America’s most sophisticated aircraft the #F-35
- Concerned #software attached to them could “phone home” for damaging code
- While other magnets were made to fail.
