The making of the ITER toroidal field coils

Ғылым және технология

19 D-shaped superconducting magnets, each one weighing as much as a jetliner and standing 5 storeys tall. These are the ITER toroidal field (TF) coils, 18 of which will be placed around the vacuum vessel to produce a total magnetic energy of 41 gigajoules and a maximum magnetic field of 11.8 tesla. Their design, prototyping and fabrication is a story that started long ago. This is the film that was shown during a ceremony of completion on 1 July 2024 at ITER.

    Is this the most efficient way of building these things? Of course not! But just imagine all the know-how and R&D that gets spread all across the globe because of international collaborations like these! It's beautiful to hear so many different accents of people working on this huge project!

    You are right. I think fusion energy will not be achieve soon (at least in the next 50 years). So, the R&D and all the technology created and optimized will accelerate other fields.

    Meine bescheidene Frage : soll das eine Supraleiterspule werden oder ist das ein total gekapselter Hochfrequenzgenerator mit Koaxkabelresonator mit gleichförmiger Innen - Querschnittsfrequenz als Einzelteil ? also der aktive Frequenzgeneratorzusatz im Nebenraum ? oder abgestimmter Wandlertrafo ? Die kennt doch auch jeder Elektrotechniker. 3:42 Wh. sind möglicherweise ? die Bilder durcheinandergekommen, aber von der Zuordnung vieleicht gedanklich gelöst.

    @@alexsolosm that’s the problem, for people who have English as their first language, yes it’s should be easy to understand to understand. But no, I’m not a native English speaker, and for non-English natives it can already be difficult enough to understand perfect English, let alone non-perfect (accented) English. And, (as I mentioned earlier) since this is a worldwide project, you’ll have a lot of worldwide (non-English native) viewers. Also KZread even has trouble auto-generating the subs.Even at the first sentence it’s already plenty wrong.

    @@room5245 Try to read the words written next time. BTW, a good example. The first flying plane was made by 2 people in 5-8 years. And trans-Atlantic passenger flights really began in ~40 years after that. ITER is still going since 1980-s and is made by cooperation of all world leading countries. It's going to be finished in 2035 (as for now), so at least 50 years of world's most advanced effort.

    On a global scale, I'd say we don't put near enough resources and effort toward important projects like this. Last I checked, the budget for ITER was about 22 billion. In contrast, Apple computer made over 400 billion last year alone. Way more effort and resources go into making sure morons can send memes on smart phones than into fusion research.
