Researchers were able to produce 2.5 megajoules of energy, 120 per cent of the 2.1 megajoules used to power the experiment.

Now we must wait to see if this is an aberration and can be done at scale. I'm ready for the world to change :party-parrot-science:

Government workers got the goods, fuck you capitalism, great 'innovation' you have :fidel-salute:

    Yeah it generates heat which goes through a vent to turn a whatever, but thats actually the excess energy produced through heat. A lot of it is absorbed and immediately put back into the grid because the plasma carries an electric current itself and you can just store it back in.
