According to a team of international scientists, the same reaction that powers the sun can also power the earth. The team is working on a project in southern France to prove that fusion, or the bonding of atoms at extremely high temperatures, can be sustained long enough to be harnessed by mankind. Neal Calder works for the project which is called International Thermo-nuclear Experimental Reactor or ITER. [Neil Calder, ITER Communications Head]: "If this works we will have inexhaustible, unlimited energy for humanity with none of the drawbacks of some of the other current energy sources." ITER employs nearly 400 scientists and sees the European Union, India, Japan, China, South Korea, Russia and the United States preparing to build the world's largest fusion reactor. The plan is to use deuterium and tritium, isotopes derived from water, to fuel the process. [Gary Johnson, Deputy Director, ITER Tokamak Dep.]: "We know our energy needs are going to continue to go up over the long term. We have to have something that will provide these energy resources for the long term. Fusion is part of that answer we think." The fusion process involves super-heating an electrically charged gas to more than a million degrees Celsius, the temperature of the sun. At that point the gas becomes a "plasma" that releases more energy than it takes to create it. But the plasma is so hot that it cannot be allowed to touch the walls of the vessel and must be contained by a magnetic field. The fusion device, invented in Russia, takes its name from the Russian words for toroidal chamber with magnetic coils, or tokamak. [Gary Johnson, Deputy Director, ITER Tokamak Dep.]: "The high-side is, essentially, unlimited fuel. You know, we get deuterium out of seawater, essentially, virtually limitless. It is a very clean technology, no greenhouse gases. It is a very safe technology." The project was conceived at a summit between Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev in 1985, when the leaders agreed to support an international effort to develop fusion energy for the benefit of mankind.

    Through the whirlpool of the magnetic trap are turned and the neutrons. This is the mode of unfolding of the thermonuclear reaction from Sun. The waiting as the collision of fusion let it make accidental or aleatory is not a solution for a commercial installation. Thus after the lateral coupling proton-neutron-proton-neutron in alpha particle, this will attract and will fix rigid and two electrons forming the normal atom of helium(4/2He).

  • SandustanBrasov

    In the tokamak installation the plasma's components(= protons, neutrons and electrons), it can not arrange in lateral unuion as let form alpha particles, respective atoms of normal helium(4/2He). Viz, it can not confine the plasmas's components and it can not realize the starting of the thermonuclear reaction of fusion.

    The introduction in whirlpool through plasmatron to the fuel: deuterium and tritium under shape of plasma and in magnetic turning field will go at the arrangement for the lateral unuion of the protons and neutrons in alpha particles. Thus, the electrical particles of the plasma together with neutrons, through union in alpha particles, respecticve in atoms of normal helium(4/2He), become neutral from electrical viewpoint and they will can go out through the magnetic trap.

    • The tokamak installation has nothing in common with the Sun and with the thermonuclear controlled fusion. Viz: 1).-can not concentrate and confine the plasma; 2).-can not isolate plasma face of internal walls of the toroidal chamber because they it will smelt at 5...10% from temperature of fusion; 3).-the switchs of heat can not will be used because can not it extract heat from the toroidal chamber.

  • • SandustanBrasov

    The model of thermonuclear controlled reactor proposed of myself- reproduces entirely the conditions from Sun. Viz: 1).-produce a globe of plasma and turned it with 800m/s; 2).-ensure a magnetic trap with two electromagnetic crossed fields which dress and turn the globe of plasma; 3).-supply continuously with hydrogen in state of plasma and ensure the its confination. Moreover, makes possibly the direct gathering of the electrical current.

    In place let it examine the qualities, the specific features of the chemical matters and the ethereal matters, as let's can create the functional devices, it make only animations on personal computer, as let it hoax the terrestrial world with the thermonuclear plasma in 2018, in 2050, or with the fusion in 2100. The actual ITER project is only a scientific confusion in a practical realization to one practical installation, for to consumer of money of the tax payer.

  • I would use water myself,its easyer and cheeper than trying to develope a fusion reactor.

    The test for nuclear fusion realisation on Tokamak's installations and with LASER cannot bring anything new for the energetics' future. I bind the thermonuclear controlled reactor schedule by the Sun model , by the reactive electromagnetic motor schedule from Palenque stone's tombe. You see the my project for thermonuclear controlled reactor.

  • @Redraptorxx Not really tbh, it can already be done we just don't have a reason.
