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.

The Japanese engineer quote, "Big thick welding, big fight", I can imagine, I'm a metal fabricator too.
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.
What an impressive and awe-inspiring operation! I really hope it will produce the expected triple product results, the world sure needs this giant milestone!
This video should had been 90 minutes long to get a good feel of the magnitude of the endeavor. I've watch other posted video's on this but new content is always welcome.
Thank you Alex for contributing to this video - although Austria did not manufacture one of the coils, at least we contributed through you ;-)
This here is my sanctuary. Far away from wars, lies, and other shit in the world - i love to see how someone at least is making a progress for humanity.
Congratulation on this big achievement! Cant wait untill first plasma! As humanity we need this, we need to work together!
i cant wait for all this hard work to be complete and we can see it working.
exactly what i wanted from iter youtube! thank you!)
Magnificent work! Phenomenal efforts on display here.
this is truly awesome work and brilliant engineering. Everything learned here will impact future manufacturing and advance the field.
Congratulations everybody ! Keep on the good work boys and girls of science !!!
Shows us just how massive and complex iter is
Funny that previous version got banned by some "copyright claims". This way we'll never achieve significant progress as humanity
Congratulations!
Please check your subtitles.

They're automated captions produced by youtube. It's unfortunate that the ITER channel manager doesn't produce the subtitles, as it can help hearing-impaired viewers a lot
good luck we need this thing
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.
офигеть они реально его строят. я думал просто бабло попилят и забудут
why India is not part of this?

Wasn't in the agreement, India made the cryostat
See, when the different countries come together to work towards the future, great things can be achieved! Stop fighting with one another! Stop the silly trade wars!
Who from PWGood?
yeah! Only 20 yrs to go.
Please, get a better videomaker. I'm begging you.
What happens if a magnet fails lol
Just read this won't get turned on until 2034 now. I have high hopes for this, but idk if the planet can wait for you. Hurry up.
Showing many people worked on it, doing international politics, diluting interesting peaces of info in music ... Not for me
Point proven: Physicists are weak in languages. - And most people who are good at languages, suck at maths and physics 🙈😂
Auto subtitles, really? As if the non native narration isn't punishment enough.

You have the transcript already, i mean jfc
Just pick one language and standardize it, like you did with the metric system.
Whats ths contribution given by india 🇮🇳 ? Nothing or something.

Read about it on the website.
The greatest waste of money in human history
I understand that this is a worldwide project with many great countries working together. So please choose your presenters better, so that they can pronounce English better, so everyone can understand clearly what you’re trying to say.

You must be american. Only americans would nitpick on their accents. Maybe travel the world more, you'll learn how to listen carefully and understand what they are speaking. Otherwise, just turn on the subtitles. English is my first language, and I could understand them just fine.

@@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.

Одни и теже видосы. Ничего новенького. Стройка продвигается с черепашьими темпами. Французы очень медленные. Не хотят работать.
It seems too much effort goes into creation of this enormous thing which is actually a technology demo and will never produce electricity. We haven't yet reached the necessary level to really use fusion for our needs.

@@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.
