19 million amps of current

[Winky]

generated a current equal to roughly four times all the electrical power on Earth

 

[Luis G]

I wonder how that stuff works.

 

[Professur]

How do you generate four times the electrical power on earth, on earth?

And isn't that a little overkill for cook a can of tuna?

Tis well done hamburger in .0003 seconds. Its excellent for fast food applications.

 

[MrBishop]

Holy Shit!
That's a boat-load of power!

 

[Winky]

well it ain't cold fusion

 

[Luis G]

It talks about current (A) but not about power (Watts).

[Winky]

That's "terawatts"!

 

[unclehobart]

This is all frighteningly unimportant unless it involves the Spice Channel somehow.

Mmm... tits.

sPicceee... channnell... zzzz

 

[Inkara1]

Holy Shit!
That's a boat-load of power!

That might be enough to run the relic of an air conditioner I've got in the livng room. It's an old GE 6000-BTU unit that spins the disc in my electric meter at roughly twice the rate as the 5,200-BTU GoldStar unit in my bedroom I bought last year.

 

[Winky]

200+ terawatts?
Gee Inky at California power rates THAT would
be a boatload of money!

 

[Winky]

The neatest thang aboot Z-Pinch is how
similar it is to the way it uses X-ray radiation
the same way thermonuclear weapons do, to create fusion.

Even right down to the Styrofoam!

 

[Winky]

And it may be the most promising method to
produce fusion for power generation AND
this thing belongs to the U.S. guberment!

Wouldn't it be a kick in the nads if the
Military Industrial Complex held the patent
for Fusion?
