As an astrophysical object for the external observer - yes. As a colloquially simplified description of the astronomical phenomenon by the local observer, it has rapidly appeared on the sky when its light had reached us them the earthians. -

The reaction mass is negligible, it can't cool anything but fingers. 1 000 MW = 109 J/s = 109/(4.2*1012 ) = 2.4*10-4 kt/s = 2.4*10-4 / 80 = 3*10-6 kg of D/DT / s = 3 mg of D/DT / s As heat power : electric power = 3..4, it means 10 mg of burnt fusion fuel per second. *** The ridiculously strong magnets need ridiculously high power, but it anyway will not make the fusion zone stable itself.

There would be Hermironnes. What if put a mirror against the wall with alive portraits in Hogwarts? -
Money? Just money?! Hit it higher! Countless hours of people's worktime hours, put on the KSP-2 forum reading. Countless sleepless nights, spent in awaiting of the coming KSP-2 release. Marriages, broken or not appeared during this seven-year-long endless period of uncertainty, when people weren't sure if they have to care about their lives, or the KSP-2 release will happen next week, so all their long-term plans will be flushed by the suddenly appeared need in reading the tutorials, in getting used to the changed UI. It's even hard to imagine the overall harm to the world economy, caused by the KSP-2 dramatic story...

How many megatons would it take to bring on nuclear winter?
kerbiloid replied to farmerben's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Not aerosol, but soot particles, i.e. elementary carbon. But the firestorm causes intensive oxidizing and thus produces more gaseous carbon oxides and less soot. While the smouldering produces a lot of soot, but weaker vertical flow, so most of the soot stays below the tropopause and falls down in weeks. The nuclear winter theory presumes that the burning is as sooty as the smouldering, and as intensively flowing up as the firestorm, i.e. it's based on two excluding processes, as the smouldering happens where the burning is weak and slow, and the carbon compounds lack oxygen, while the firestorm sucks the air from around into the fire, and intensively burns the soot into CO/CO2. They were predicting that the Gulf War would result into at least local nuclear winter, but even when many oil rigs had been burnt by the strikes or intentionally by the retiring army, it just resulted into several weeks of cloudy weather. The mushroom clouds are produced by any source of heat. They are just toroidal clouds of hot air, less dense than the surrounding air, raising up and sucking dust from below. Their height is defined only by the heat per time production (height ~ heat power0.25, iirc, or so), thus low-yield explosions don't reach the troposphere, and the particles stay below and fall down. *** In case of the USA it's probably more important that its agriculture is mostly based on forced irrigation, thus powerplants, thus nuke plants and big dambs, which are not numerous, and their destruction may cause the collapse of the agriculture due to both lack of energy for the pumps, loss of the biggest water reservoirs, and radioactive fallout contamination of big rivers. As the current US population is based on the current technological capability, this would significantly decrease the food production, limit the ability to support the non-productive jobs in the cities, and cause mass exodus from starving cities to the private farm lands. Also, while the Soviet/Russian silos are mostly placed in wet forests and desert regions, a lot of American ones are placed right between the crops in the agricultural states. Thus, I find it possible that in case of it, the US would occupy the territory up to the Panama channel (and a no-man territory at its opposite coast), with corresponding casualties of local population, to turn the tropic forests into plowlands. The same of China. -
