The 'star in a jar' that could provide limitless energy on Earth

Stare chamber

US Government reveals experiments to create compact fusion plants.

It would provide humankind with near limitless energy, ending dependence on fossil fuels for generating electricity.

US Government physicists have backed plans to create 'a star in a jar' - replicating on Earth the way the sun and stars create energy through fusion.

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) revealed their plan for a next generation fusion device in a paper published in the journal Nuclear Fusion.

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory revealed their plan for a next generation fusion device in a paper published in the journal Nuclear Fusion. Pictured, researchers inside the centre stack of the $94-million upgrade of the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade, which began operating last year.

'We are opening up new options for future plants,' said lead author Jonathan Menard, program director for the recently completed National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (NSTX-U) at PPPL.

The $94-million upgrade of the NSTX, financed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, began operating last year. Spherical tokamaks are compact devices that are shaped like cored apples, compared with the bulkier doughnut-like shape of conventional tokamaks.

The plants already exists in experimental form - the compact spherical tokamaks at PPPL and Culham, England. These tokamaks, or fusion reactors, could provide the design for possible next steps in fusion energy - a Fusion Nuclear Science Facility (FNSF) that would develop reactor components and also produce electricity as a pilot plant for a commercial fusion power station.

How to guide plasma

How it works: Fusion involves placing hydrogen atoms under high heat and pressure until they fuse into helium atoms.

Is This Proof Negan Kills Glenn in “The Walking Dead” Finale!

Spoiler Alert.

Glenn gets a bat to the back of his head big time. Maggie screams uncontrollably and Rick spews up.

A lot of “The Walking Dead” fans are angry about the sixth season’s finale (like, really, really angry) in which the audience is left wondering who took a beating at the hands of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

In the comics, it was Glenn Rhee who gets hit to death by Negan’s barbed-wired baseball bat. While it’s highly likely Steven Yeun’s interpretation of Glenn is the victim, the show, however, has carved its own path. 

Negan lined up Rick, Michonne, Glenn, Daryl, Rosita, Carl, Maggie, Aaron, Eugene, Abraham and Sasha, any of which could be dead. Fans will have to wait until this fall to find out for sure. But what if there’s an answer right now?

What if the audio provides a tease clue to the mystery? The above video, via Federico Trione, may have just broke this case wide open. What do you guys think? Who had the displeasure of meeting Lucille?

Are We Being Contacted by Radio-waves? Sun-Like-Star Totally Baffles Russian Scientists

• The signals seem to be coming from a sun-like star known as HD 164595 
• The star is 95 light years away and may have undiscovered planets in its orbit 
• Scientists say the signals may simply be the result of a natural phenomenon 
• One possibility is 'micro-lensing' in which the star's gravity, focuses signals coming from further away

WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?

A star or planet can act as a cosmic lens to magnify and brighten a more distant star or signal lined up behind it. That's because the gravitational field of the foreground star bends and focuses light, like a glass lens bending and focusing starlight in a telescope.

Albert Einstein predicted this effect in his theory of general relativity and confirmed it with our sun. Scientists believe the latest signals could be the result of this micro-lensing effect in which the star's gravity strengthens and focus signals from farther away.

A spike in radio signals coming from the direction of a sun-like star has excited astronomers.
The signals seem to be originating from a sun-like star known as HD 164595 in the constellation Hercules, around 95 light years away.

Scientists suggest they are likely to be the result of a natural phenomenon, such as 'micro-lensing', in which the star's gravity strengthens and focus signals from elsewhere.
But astronomers have also asked Seti (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) to take a closer look at whether they could be a message from ET.

Two SETI research groups will track HD 164595 tonight using the Allen Telescope Array (pictured) in northern California and the Boquete Optical SETI Observatory in Panama

SETI will track HD 164595 tonight using the Allen Telescope Array in northern California and the Boquete Optical SETI Observatory in Panama.
According to a report by Paul Gilster at Centauri Dreams, the signal was first detected on May 15 last year by the RATAN-600 radio telescope in Zelenchukskaya.

HD 164595 is interesting to scientists because it's a sun-like star with at least one 'warm Neptune' planet in orbit. Its average temperature is 12 Kelvin hotter than the sun and is around 100 million years younger than our star. Scientists say there may still be other planets undetected around HD 164595.

'No one is claiming that this is the work of an extraterrestrial civilisation, but it is certainly worth further study,' writes Gilster.

UFO Seen Just 20 Meters Away From Home Over Ireland, Aug 2016, UFO Sightings News

Date of sighting: August 24, 2016 
Location of sighting: Donegal, Ireland 
Source: MUFON #78723

This UFO was captured at sunrise...and as you probably have heard from me many times...sunset and sunrise are the moments of the day when the cloaks of UFOs are vulnerable due to the angle of the sun, angle of the person to the UFO and the sun and how the light bends around the cloak. Needless to say, this is a fantastic catch of a UFO shooting past the persons window at just the right time. I can tell from the lighting on its right side of the UFO and the right side of the roof that the lighting is untampered with, it has no flaws to be found...because its real. Also on the right side of the UFO are ridges which are slightly blurred, due to its incredible speed as it shot past the window, stopped for a split second, then shot off. Controlled by AI of course in a almost flawless close encounter...except it was caught on iphone.

Eyewitness states: At family holiday home in ( very remote) County Donegal,Ireland. I awoke unusually early (6:30am) and instantly alert. Decided to video and photograph the sunrise, something I have never done? Took several pictures and videos before and after object appeared in photo, with no resulting foreign/unexplained objects.

Nothing appeared in the sky at any time. My instant reaction was that perhaps my iPhone camera was broken? However couldn't understand how pics immediately before and after photo in question, didn't have a huge black triangle (apparently hovering in sky?) Was in shock for the rest of the day.

Fleet of UFOs Pass Over Yellowstone Park On Live Cam! Aug 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Aug 27, 2016 
Location of sighting: Yellowstone Park, USA

This is the most breathtaking and detailed UFO sighting all year long! It was caught when Jeanette Foresta of Youtube was watching the live cam and caught a whole fleet of UFOs passing over Yellowstone on live cam. At least one UFO (first photo above) is a TR3B type UFO but is over 100 meters across! As it moves, it actually rotates, just like disk do. The shape corners are darker...signs of a TR3B when light speed engines are turned off. When it powers up, those three ends will glow like white suns, also the center top and bottom will glow (4 white balls of light at once).

Behind it is one disk. You can also see the light reflecting off its metal sides and what looks like sever other TR3B 100 meter UFOs further away.

Jeanette Foresta has recorded Yellowstone and posted it to Youtube many times before over the years, so this is not a fake, she keeps a watchful eye over this area of the park.

Yellowstone park was allotted 3,468 square miles of land, by the US government, so obviously the US knows about an active alien base or bases in this area, and hoped that stoping construction would limit human activity in the area. This is the highlight of my month...maybe my whole year of reporting.

I live for moments like this. Scott C.

Eyewitness states: I have another one ready to make public. Let's give it a minute aye? It's the same. Maybe you want to take a better look at them all. :) I took the mouse halo out which was in the very first video I did of this, a few months ago. It was kinda in the way. I felt I should do a better job of it because it's a once in a lifetime capture -Maybe?
