This thing is a waste of money, nothing but a high tech work of art. It's just a giant coil and an expression of electromagnetic technology but nothing more. They have been working on this thing for decades and still nothing comes out of it. Meanwhile they had nuclear fission decades ago. If they ever do come across a controllable fusion technology this may not be it.
Ok this is a scientific experiment and maybe something new will come of it BUT IT IS HUGELY EXPENSIVE We already have a cheap way of producing electricity Star Scientific's Muon Catalysed Fusion NO Toxic Waste NO Greenhouse Gasses CHEAP & ABUNDANT The fuel is dueterium from the Oceans, it is virtually limitless website Star Scientific Limited blog "The Big Picture by Andrew Horvath" Youtube video "In the Footsteps of Fusion"
@sidewaysfcs0718 not quite. the plasma you see is only used for the fusion process. it ionizes the Tritium and deuterium atoms to allow them to fuse. the fusion of the two is not actually visible.
@xamanto the arc reactor in the comics were based on early designs of the tokamak, if a tokamak was small and efficient producing 12gj per second then the world would have no use for fossil fuels. but unfortunately it isnt at this present time possible of harnicing that much tokamak plasma in such a small device therefore it should be "japan called they want there tokamak"
@Ibringthetruth1 yeah like quantum physics reasearch in the 20's and 30's ...so much wasted time revolutionising medicine and electronics ....psh who needs fancy MRI scanners , TV screens and computers ....
@Fleetfox10 A tokamak is a device using a magnetic field to confine a plasma in the shape of a torus (doughnut). This device was invented in Russia in the 50s. Name is a transliteration, meaning 'toroidal chamber with magnetic coils'.
Lol I don't think people is understanding how this works. This is a fusion reactor. It's supposed to heaten the walls and boil water with that energy. The magnetic field helps confining the hotter plasma in the center of the torus, so that it doesn't melt the walls.
@AllahSIZtayyip. What are you trying to say? Its so garbled, i haven't a clue. The fact you've posted about an atomic bomb on a video about fusion is lol. You're either very stupid or a massive troll.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If this thing is as hot as you guys say it is, you could have boiled a big ass tank full of water with it and used it to power some turbines to produce electricity man...
the energy it produce is used to power turbines thats the only way to get electricity out of it hydrogen goes in one end and out the other to power turbines
spinning plasma produces a spinning magnetic field, like a turbine, but it's more efficient than transmuting heat into kinetic into electric -- it removes a step in the proccess.
wow, the shit isnt melting bc the metal isnt the heat shield. think about it, there is no know "substance" that can withstand the temperature of the inside of the sun. what protects the metal and people working there is an intensely strong magnetic field. and a magnetic field isnt a substance. lol im only 14 and figured that out.
ASDEX (this tokamak) uses deuterium gas only. The pretty glowing part you see is actually the coldest part of the plasma. The center, or core, of the plasma is where temperatures are in the range of the core of the sun.
na, for fusion to be efficient the temperature needs to be around 10^8 kelvin. the core of the sun is around 15 million degrees, thats why the reaction has lasted such a long time and will keep going for a long time. Check "deuterium bottleneck"
Because of the relatively small plasma volume and limited auxiliary heating of ASDEX the tokamak is not capable of reaching the desired 15 keV (~1.6*10^8 Kelvin) temperature at which the DT reaction cross section is peaked.
The deuterium bottleneck pertains to celestial fusion and has nothing to do with laboratory plasmas.
i suppose this video is in starting the machine - just before fussion. at the end you can see weak 'light tube' which is getting thiner. when it goes together the fusion goes.
But heat isn't a problem! that gas has 15 million celsius centrigrades, but during main fusion hydrogen isn't emiting any electromagnetic radiation, because all its atoms are divided into electrons and protons. Only 'dirt' - some oxygen kathions for example, can shine, because they still have some electrons in such temp
Don't forget Bremsstrahlung radiation. Any accelerated charged particle emits this form of EM radiation. The bulk of the plasma is still radiating a lot of light.
this is cool. hopefully it's not gonna be too long until this technology is being used all over the world. they're building a bigger reactor in france at the moment to contain a larger reaction. the reactor they have in this video can only be used in 30 second bursts, which is still pretty impressive, but the reaction is self limiting. bigger reactor means longer reactions, the more we learn about this the closer we'll be to creating a self sustaining reaction. give it another 50 or so years.
how come the extreme heat isnt affecting people outside the reactor...i know the plasma is kept inside due to magnetic field but i didnt know heat is magnetic..hahaha
Well it's only a very tiny amount of material that is being heated, heat isn't magnetic because its only a concept, but the stuff being heated is able to be manipulated by magnetic fields.
dumfuk i was kiddin i know heat aint magnetic hahah
im sayin how come the fukin extreme heat isnt fukin melting everything..i mean temps more den millions of degrees celcius shit dats fkin hottt its gotta melt sumfin man hahahahah
Wow you sound really smart and obviously you understood everything I said cause you... still... don't... get it. Ok I'm done patronizing you, obviously you don't have the capacity for this. haha dismissed.
They inject super cooled liquid helium capsules into the machine to control the temperature. Plus the wall are made out of a reflective material which channels 90% of the heat away.
Atomic clock. Can be powered and energized by a solar clock but doesn't use sun light power, only uses laser light(Or also fiber optic laser light) which is absorbed in clock's solar panel cells or photo voltaic cells which absorb laser light and sends it to it's atomic clock.The reason to use this,not smart to have any electrical wires any were around atomic things,could cause radiation;Use safe laser light it can charge any device,even if under water it can charge from a distance of 10 meter.
The big reason it's taking so long is that it consumes some where between thousands and millions of dollars a test in electricity to start and when the field collapses at the end there the entire reactor bay is filled with lightning to make a tesla coil freak wet themselves. The replacement / testing costs for each collapse are PROHIBITIVE. Imagine the biggest nastiest toroid you ever wound and in 7 seconds you have to rewind the whole darn thing. :P
