Experimental thermonuclear powerplant for cryptomining
Dear cryptocomrades. The world’s energy supply, water and food supply is shrinking. These trends are interlinked because biomass (trees) is used to produce ethanol — fuel for cars and wood granules as “green energy” for heating and electricity. Destruction of trees leads to desertification of Amazon, USA, Canada, Russia, which leads to erosion of arable soils and change of weather patterns, where rains evaporate before reaching overheated sand, whereas trees and grass keep land cool by evaporating stored water and induce rains.
If things will co ntinue to go unchecked, civilized life will remain only near nuclear powerplants, geothermally active zones, solar and wind farms, few remaining oilfields and coal mines, provided all of these are sufficiently protected, while the rest of the people will fight with sticks and stones for drinking holes. Ability to support cryptocurrencies will also dwindle, as well as their value: If there are only 5 cars and 200 gallons of fuel left in the world, 21 million bitcoin will be able to purchase 5 cars and 200 gallons of fuel, figuratively speaking. Drying up Hoover Dam should be an ample warning to the world and cryptominers located near it.
But here is a solution: Linear Accelerator Based Inertial Thermonuclear Reactor (LABITR). I’m an aerospace engineer and I see inefficiencies in current popular designs: Tokamaks and inertial confinement reactors. Tokamaks squeeze plasma trying to reach 100 million degrees, inertial confinement reactor tries to squeeze pellet of fuel with lasers that evaporate surface of fuel. Both still haven’t produced more energy than they consume, both are overly complicated.
