  • It's gonna be within 15 years, the first working Stable reaction tokamak!!!!, I have a friend that is a plasma physicist and he says that this research is WAY above projections!!

  • This is just stunning!!!!.

    that first idea, so simple, very few moving parts.....awesome!!!!.

    I have seen the development of the spherical tokamak, very kool!!!!!!. Much more efficient than the old elongated toroidal tokamaks!.

    It is nice to see longer reactions too, can't be long now till they have a stable ongoing reaction?

see all

  • I love how the tokamak makes the noise of a water boiler ^^

  • when was this aired on the discovery ch?

    i feel like the discovery ch as well as the history ch show nothing but shit now

  • YAY BRITION ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING GOOD FOR THEM!!!!

  • The one question I have about this tower is why the greenhouse section is not filled with sea water. Water vapour is less dense than air so it would rise up through the tower. Then the distilled water would rain down in the immediate area creating a microclimate. The the high salt content water could then be either sold to Indonesia or the magnesium chloride could be sold to magnesium processors (perhaps using the electricity from the tower) or returned to the ocean.

  • even australila is smarter and cleaner than america

  • In Australia they're tapping the Sun...

    In Britain, they're creating the Sun. XD

  • that's because the heat is limited to the magnatised area of the reactor

  • wtf..how did the place a camera in side that shit..was it PLASMA PRoof..

  • down side = water runs out xDDD

    need to make water or it will run out

    water is a fosile fuel (its used up in the fusjon prosses)

  • i was just gonna say that.
