This report seems quite impressive. Does anyone know whether the stated temperature is relative between individual plasma components or to a stationary observer? For example, if all of the particles are moving in the same direction at the same high velocity then they would not fuse at any temperature I would assume. This is because they must collide together for that to happen. I suppose it depends upon their definition of temperature.

FYI: They claim this is a record… not enough details to know if they lost containment or just turned it off after 102 seconds. http://www.eedesignit.com/scientists-create-energy-device-that-produces-hydrogen-at-temps-hotter-than-sun/ “The team’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion device made a 102-second long pulse plasma discharge at over 50 million degrees, making it the longest plasma discharge time recorded in all the Tokamak fusion devices in the world.” -mark iverson
