We're already getting sidetracked here.
And then there's the electromagnetic fields that are holding the plasma in place.
Oh, we've been sidetracked, baby.
So where are we?
So when, regardless of who came up with it, even though it was Charles Goodyear, once vulcanization was introduced to the world, all of a sudden, all of these dreams of what you could do with a flexible, durable material that could withstand tremendous pressure and force and heat and cold, too, which was a big one.
We are with... I think we're at Democritus.
But then remember we said the Russians figured out that if you put an electromagnetic field in the middle of the whole thing, it will stabilize that plasma, but it also heats it up.
Antonio van Leeuwenhoek, specifically, a Dutch tradesman, was pretty good at making simple microscopes, and all of a sudden, contemporaries like Robert Hooke said, you know what, let's start looking at tiny things, because therein might lie the answer to many, many things.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Democritus then comes along.
And he's like, all right, I got this new theory, because there were some problems with what Empedocles was talking about.
everything.
And that area, right, 10 to the negative 33 centimeters, again, the average diameter of an atom, or roughly something like that, is 10 to the negative 10.
So it serves this double purpose.
And then just to add a little extra temperature, they shoot it with microwaves and some other stuff.
First of all, he has offered no evidence.
I don't know if anyone noticed that at all.
And then heat it up, and then as the plasma goes crazy and all the fusion energy is released, the neutrons move their way outside of the electromagnetic field into the blanket, which they heat up, and the heat energy is transferred to power that turbine or move the horse down the lane.
