“The #Sun on #Earth” - from #nuclear #fusion #technology

First of all, I would like to explain the #physical #basics of nuclear fusion. I will try to objectively work out the #advantages and #disadvantages of the new technology. Then, in a next step, I will present the #current #state of #practical #implementation of the technology and venture an #outlook into the #near/distant #future.

Facts about #TerahertzRadiation (1/2)

- By Terahertz Radiation we understand radio waves in the range from about 100 to 1000 THz.

- Terahertz Radiation is known to cause an #inflammatory reaction on the skin which in some cases can lead to skin #cancer.

- Excessive exposure to Terahertz Radiation can cause permanent eye damage and blindness. It happens frequently around #solar #eclipses.

- Terahertz Radiation is primarily created in nuclear #fusion reactors. Most of us live within 8 minutes of a Terahertz Radiation emitting reactor.

- The surface of such a Terahertz Radiation emitting #reactor is actually so hot that your whole body would burn up instantly if you were to touch it.

- Due to the immense danger it poses to humans and the environment, the #European Union and the state of #California have actually banned the sale of a, sadly, commonly deployed device emitting Terahertz Radiation.

- Pulsed Terahertz Radiation is a common cause of #headaches in humans and animals, and can in some causes even lead to grand mal #seizures.

- Terahertz Radiation is known to cause #wildfires

- The Ancient #Greek are said to have already used Terahertz Radiation to fight off their enemies.

I'll be recording Bebop Beatniks with Paul Lessard again the Saturday after Easter.

Also I am recording another band I'm calling #jazz #blues #fusion featuring some fine outstanding musicians from NE Arkansas.

My new project is Fly On The Wall Recording Sessions where I livestream recording sessions and chat with the audience between takes. Just at the setup and testing stage so far.

I'll let you know when the livestreams start.
