What do you think fusion research is?
a fun fact: for the most efficient mass energy conversion, you need a huge spin black hole (preferably naked). Then you can get about 42% conversion. (there was a minute physics video about it i think)
No where near perfect mass conversion....
Max theoretical mass-energy conversion efficiency is under 1%
15 years away from a useful result
Just a fancier way to spin turbines with steam
Fancier or more efficient?
