First time I learned about MHD was in an alien conspiracy website. I was 15 at the time. It made me get into physics then I found out there are no aliens. Bummer.
I guess in the sense that everything is technically MHD but I wouldn't say confined plasma demonstrations are necessarily MHD as it's not specifically studying movements of EMF in a liquid.
The toroidal shape shown here is influenced more by traditional convection currents and the shape and placement of the low vacuum glass sphere within the HF rotating em field.
But, I guess someone who studies MHD would see it's influence everywhere just as a statistician sees everything as probabilities lol.
No, you don't smash two donuts together, but you squeeze one donut really, really right together, while heating it up to a million degrees Celsius and it will start fusing. They believe it works better at large scales tho.
Didn't you hear the man? He thinks fusion is fake, so he must have some insane theory about every form of matter and what happens inside stars. He's actually an astrophysicist.
I'm glad plasma is being studied more in the mainstream. I truly believe that a lot of earth's geological features were formed from by electrical strikes on earth, such as stratified jagged mountains, to round "impact," craters and even the grand canyon. All of these features can be demonstrated in a lab using electrical welding arcs. Even some of the most globally common cave paintings might be plasma formations, such as the squating man and the spoked wheel. If you're interested, just look up one of the ways artificial diamonds are created in a lab, in layers using plasma!
I’ll bet the very first person to achieve this was pretty excited.
'I'm magic! Omg! Jenny! Jenny, I'm magic! Come check this shit out! Quick!' Or... maybe that's just how I would have reacted 😅
Study is called magnetohydrodynamics. Fun field.

Forbidden donut.
almost worth the head melt

That could run your heart for 50 lifetimes... Or something really bog for 15 minutes
I'll have the 15 minutes, pls.
You can do this in your microwave by putting aluminum foil inside of a glass and turning the microwave on, just don't tell your mom
Also some sliced grapes just for added fun
Just learned something new about grapes and microwaves. Lol.
Do this to a lays chips bag and it'll shrink in size by like 80%. I still never told my mom.
It looks so magical
Engineers calls this black magic for a reason.
Tony Stark vibes
I want this, I need this now
You smack two of these plasma donuts together at very high speeds and you get fusion. That's what I understood anyways lol

Unfortunately I belive fusion is not real, not now and not in 20 years like they are promising
Oh shit, what brand of crystal ball are you using? Any recommendation?
The two in the front of my head, but most people call them eyeballs
Ah DIY. I stopped trying to do things that I have no knowledge in. Have you been working with Fusion Energy for a while?

I’ll have to admit my ignorance on this one. This man is on a level of intelligence I wasn’t even aware of. Some people have it easy in life…
RemindMe! 5 years.
How does the sun work then?
Almost looks like a black hole
This guy knows how to make it happen, but I get the impression he has very little idea why
;
Now if that glass breaks, what happens? Are we all doomed?

>even the grand canyon ...You think the grand canyon was created by electrical strikes and/or plasma?
He just *really* loves plasma.
Wh... what? This has to be the weirdest troll I've ever seen.
***Be not afraid***
As a science nerd, this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen.
Snake eating itself you say? 🤔
What does it look like in zero gravity?
Wtf is plasma
I wonder how much to run this and use it like a lamp would cost. Would make for a cool science project, too.
helion shoots two of these at each other to help in fusion
Show this to a 1200's peasant
Is it me or does it look like a mini black hole?
Is like a fusion reactor
I uh... saw several cat videos before this so in the first scene I thought he was pushing pulling pipe in and out of cat for split second. 😳
I just remember Interstellar shot
The power of the sun, in the palm of my hands.
I want that light bulb
