Tokamak Energy is a leading global commercial fusion energy company with its head office near Oxford, UK.
Our purpose is to recreate the power of fusion here on Earth and to deliver a clean, sustainable, and globally available energy source for the future.
We are developing the fusion power plant of tomorrow while commercialising the technology applications of today. We are pursuing fusion through the combined development of spherical tokamaks with high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets

Run it for a minute straight, that's an update.
So it will be ready in only 10-20 years?
Only 60yrs away now 😂
10yrs go by …. Only 60yrs away now!
He said the st40 magnets are copper based. I seem to recall some videos about high temperature superconducting magnets. Have any of those magnets been deployed in a reactor?
Well they keep changing their plans around, HTS was intended for ST40X originally which IIRC was an upgrade to ST40 - not sure that path still holds though.. But yes, ST-40 (going from memory again) was never supposed to be anything other than copper. The HTS is a different team - these are things that are capable of (and probably better to) engineer and demonstrate seperately.
haha look at that teeny tiny lecture bottle of deuterium at 1:00! It reminds me of the tiny bottle of hydrogen at the head end of the linear accelerator that feeds the main ring of the massive LHC synchrotron. It should tell the informed observer something important about the unbelievable 10+ million fold difference in force per particle between the electromagnetic force we're familiar with manifested in the chemical reactions of everyday life, and the strong force which we utilize in fission reactors and strive to unleash from fusion. A lecture bottle of deuterium like that could theoretically power a future multi-gigawatt fusion power plant for a few hours.
China
Japan
We are naming random Asian countries right? Or is it fine to name a European country too?
Bolivia
Swaziland

Is there a way to buy the HTS Tape?
Why would you recreate the sun for????
Answered my own question, becos you lot are insane.
Crap video, could only read half the words too fast turnover
yay, Bruck Rodgers is here
keep building 💪
Commercial electricity need input 1 output 4 that the reduced cost per unit
Keep up the good work; and produce more of these videos where people that know describe what they are working on. Don't forget - you're creating history :-)
I know how to control it. Turn it Off
Primitive old thing.
في المستقبل البعيد وبفضل التكنولوجيا المتقدمة سوف يتساوى الخيال مع الواقع ويمتلك الإنسان قوى الآلهة ليحول الكون والأكوان المتعددة إلى جنة خالدة ❤
Implosion.
Can you cool them with something other than liquid helium though? Helium, being an ever diminishing resource is not something you want to be dependent on.
Yes, we can get down to 20K using cryocoolers without the need for liquid helium - it's one of the major advantages of high-temperature superconductors vs low temperature superconductors
@@tokamakenergy6400 When running at steady state, will the fusion reaction produce commercial quantities of helium?
great work when is the next reactor going to be up and running?
The next campaign with our ST40 spherical tokamak is due to start later this year. We've also completed design work on our next advanced prototype fusion device which is scheduled for build completion in the late 2020s and will demonstrate multiple advanced technologies required for fusion energy and inform the design of a fusion pilot plant.
any plans for dealing with the neutrons?
It's an important point - we're developing shielding materials for the HTS magnets
Imagine they accidentally started it up with the man still inside!... Can you imagine how bad he would be hurt?!😱
Hi great channel, Although I'm no expert, my friend told me that its possible, in theory at least, technology could be eventually used to make a much smaller more convenient, cheaper to operate, portable power supply to run a lorry or even a car safely & economically? I just read Elon Musks Spacex fusion concept envisions a hyper-car powered by a compact fusion reactor! How near do you think we are to making a production fusion powered car? Also do you have any thoughts on the most realistic potential solutions of creating a better power supply small enough to power a jet suit- like those using gas turbines by the British Marines?
Can I buy
sci-fi movies would pick rotating nested spheres or rings to show energy constricting contraptions. Wonder if there's any design that does similarly and if there's any scientific insight to such choice or it just looks cool on film
Awesome, thanks. I thought voltage is modified not current directly
where are we finding all thid H3 ???
Those who are here by following the link mentioned in 12th NCERT Physics textbook>>>>>>>
If you apply sudden increase of the B field will the plasma ring shrink?So you maybe get some pressure....If neutron has spin can its trajectory be controlled by the B field to not to hit the tokamak rim orthogonally ????
This is the best of UK PLC
Wow. She is very attractive and with brains too. Gorgeous
So this is over Liverpool uk, it’s an artificial sun, what is this doing to our health?????
This must be a project makes all of humanity's wishes come true. I wish you the best.
The moon is actually made of plasma. Knowledge is power.
We have one who can see
Rubbish! It's made of cheese!
never viable
Are these waterproof? Like, could I throw one off a ship?
I suspect your "partial insulation" is protected IP so not going to go into any details. Happy it works because a robust fail safe to protect such valuable investment increases the value of that investment.
Feed us more technical fusion content 🤤
magnets are getting silly now.
The idea isn't new. The term appeared many decades ago in relation to things like MRI machines.
Something that could be learned and implemented in the ft-icr magnets...
Aren't "High Temperature Superconductor" defined as to be working over 77K (boiling point of nitrogen)? At 20 K, you still need to deal with helium?
baby this is not to match dotorium and tritium in the World . Hahahah
Oh man, hopefully nobody pours water on these! (intense sarcasm)
Its great to see technical videos! very cool!
Greg what’s your 𝕏 account?
Must be futuristic technology as it involves superconductors. 😊 I really hope this comes to something in the next few years.
Please, please, have someone like "Real Engineering" or "Smarter Every Day" or "Veritasium" come to your place and do a 30 to 60 minute feature on all that interesting technology. This would be so, so interesting and these guys know how to explain and visualize everything in lay terms.
Thanks for sharing!
"This is what makes ...." .... me "time travle possible" .. him "compact fission possible" ooooh.. .so close
I hope you know he talks about compact fusion. As for compact fission, I guess it depends on your definition of compact, navy reactors and micro reactors are pretty compact stuff, but again they have nothing to do with this video.
@@CraftyF0X Well.. the issue is that the set up sounded just like how explained the flux capasitor in back to the future, and even finished with "possible"
@@matsv201 Argument from incredulity. If something sounds too fantastic foreign or complicated it might just be because you don't know much about said thing. That's fine, and its a valid ground to be sceptic, but by itself it's a weak argument.
The dramatic irony I'm experiencing is infinite like pi!
China beat you already 😂
No.
