I really hope this works out. Fusion energy is one of the projects with the biggest potential to help mankind move forward and answer the growing question of where to get enough energy.

Wonderful project and I love how it unites the countries of the world. We need this and many more, humanity together to become one to assist each other. Utopian... but it would be fantastic.

I'm planning on majoring in nuclear physics so I can help with the testing and perfection of nuclear fusion!

Efficiency drops like a rock with tokomak size, many have been made, but this is the first one that is large enough for actual power generation. If your efficiency is not good enough you spend more power keeping the reactor going than you will ever get out of it, making it useless for power generation.

Why are they building components in different countries which have different weather(temperature, humidity, gravity and air pressure due to different attitude) which will alter the size of the component at atomic level, may increase error level above the allowed tolerance of a few millimeters. I hope they did take this into account and equalized all the conditions during manufacture and transportation.

It'll work alright, it's not exactly being built on a maybe. But there is tons that need to be learned about actually operating such a machine, lessons that will feedback to next designs. I bet there will be lots of cases where in hindsight people realize that things really should have been designed differently.

UK not exactly in the vanguard!

I know we should separate politics and science, but I would be for excluding US and Russia from the Project for they east European and Middeleastern politics. But thank you Iterorg for the nice informativ videos on your channel.

Man I hope this doesn't get in the way of world war 3.

The thing with joined European projects is that they are slowly moving, and when they fail, they fail big! And only the very rational over calculated projects are getting realized, and still!

Do we really need a new source of power this badly? Does creating 150,000,000º C on our planet really seem safe to y'all? To compare : "The Sun has a temperature ranging from 6,000° Celsius at its surface which is hot enough to turn gold, tungsten and EVERY METAL ON EARTH INTO GAS (to) around 15,000,000° Celsius in its center". IMhO, three words sum this thing up : unnecessary, reckless, INSANE. I await the variations of "luddite" ad homs that will likely follow ... > : [

There is nothing risky about it. The main difference in the sun is an enormous pressure whereas in iter there will be no high pressure. The hot plasma has relatively little thermal energy in it which would not affect the surroundings or leave the building even if you could imagine a scenario where it leaves the machine. Which makes it safe is that there are no dangerous substances used as fuel and no potential for the reaction to move on on it's own and get out of control compared to other nuclear power sources. The reason why we need such energy source is because it can be done anywhere compared to sources like wind and water, and it produces a constant amount of energy without fluctuations, so missing wind can't make you run out of electricity.

@AHerderOfCats

Frank Steffahn First, thanks for your civil response. It's refreshing to not be insulted right off the bat. Here's hoping my reply will not cause you to reevaluate that choice ; -) . Now ... "Nothing risky"? How can you know this? Isn't this an all new process? Imo the unknown always suggests some potential for risk. A substance heated to 150,000,000º C has "little thermal energy"? Relative to what exactly ... a supernova? Certainly not anything occuring naturally on the Earth. Hot plasma is not a dangerous substance? Well sure, any lightning-struck fool can tell you that. Where on earth does the wind not blow? Oh yeah, under the water ... that ebbs and flows, creating potential tidal energy. And considering that about 7/10 of this planet's surface is ocean there isn't much land that can be too far away. You seemed to forget about geothermal, which according to it's name is kinda available everywhere on earth. Solar is also generally available I understand. Finally, if you want energy without fluctuations, better stick with DC. But seriously, I'm sure you know we have ways to store energy when it is not being produced. So ... "Risky"? Yes. "Unnecessary"? Yes. "Insane"? Happily you didn't contest that point, so I'm under no obligation to defend it at this time. Cheers. : ) > -

AHerderOfCats I think you got some good points. Still keeping the point of safety, the low pressure of the gas (or plasma) combined with the high temperature makes it have very little mass and hence little thermic energy. It's not like there is as much stuff, pressure and temperature as in an exploding hydrogen bomb. Also the magnets surrounding the gas get cooled down to just a few degreeds above zero Kelvin for the superconductors to work. If I had to guess what could happen in worst case, the reactor could break from the heat maybe, but it would not reach much further, not leave the building. Compare that with nuclear power from Uranium that has the potential of the reaction going out of control and heating up by itself further, this fusion reactor actually gets to 150.000.000° C by heating it up with microwaves from outside, so it is coming from electricity, not on it's own. The energy is very well comparable with other things on earth, they say you need the equivalent of a few thousand electric stoves to produce all the microwaves. If it gets colder when something brakes it is safe, because all the fusion will stop immediately. I don't know much about geothermic energy but I doubt that it yield very much energy and also works all over the world. Nuclear fusion has the potential of enabling gigawatt power plants with no constraints of where to build them. I live in a region that produces a lot of wind energy myself and I can say that from what I know, the fluctuation is a pig problem. They can even yield negative electricity prizes at the stock market (or wherever they trade it) on stormy days. Solar power is more constant, but still depending on weather and producing over the day while the power is needed in the evening when it's dark outside, or in the winter when it's cold but the solar power is much weaker. The only great potential I see in solar power is the possibility of decentralized power generation with people also having their own batteries to store power. Otherwise it would need new techniques, yet to be found, or a load of resources to make centralized batteries for storing the power. As long as you'd need centralized oil, coal or uranium for power plants I'd prefer a working fusion reactor, hopefully becoming a working and cheap alternative that can be used in a few decades.
