Yahoo Autos Why Scientists Are So Concerned With How Fusion Reactors Sound
Fusion reactors are some of the most sophisticated feats of engineering humankind has developed so far. They don't work especially well at generating power yet, in part because fusing atoms here on Earth is so dang hard, but they do still pull it off, and generate bursts of super-heated plasma in all manner of nightmarishly complicated reactors.
Recently, the always-inquisitive Tom Scott took a trip to JET, the Joint European Torus fusion reactor, also known as the hottest place in the solar system, at least when it is on. And among the interesting things he discovered, is the importance of speakers in the control room so that scientists can hear the reactor while it's on.
