Nuclear fusion cancelled?! Is this this the end for ITER?
New science and technology videos every week! We show innovations that make our world better and point the way to our future. The videos are made in Germany, but the topics are from all over the world.
in the 1920s, scientists recognized the energy potential that lies behind nuclear fusion. One gram of fuel in a nuclear fusion reactor is said to produce as much energy as eleven tons of coal. For this reason, every effort is being made to make nuclear fusion possible in Germany in order to generate energy. And after some promising news from the field of nuclear fusion recently there are now rather dramatic headlines predicting the end of the largest nuclear fusion project. Today we'll find ...

A start-up from Austria has designed a helicopter that flies with ‘rolls’ instead of rotors. The designs look like complete science fiction at first, but as you can see here, there is already a real prototype that shows that the technology works. Let's find out how the whole thing works physically, what the advantages are compared to other electric flight concepts and what hurdles there still a...

    The dimensions of this aircraft, to me, is its biggest selling point. Sure, it's larger than a normal vehicle - but not insanely so. The lack of wings is a good point though: what happens if power fails? The best answer is a parachute, á là the Cirrus light aircraft.

    The term is “angle of incidence” or “angle of attack”, not “angle of inclination”. It is the angle of the chord line relative to the oncoming “wind”, not relative to the horizontal.

      Also, “albeit” is not a German word so it is not pronounced “all bite”. It is a word constructed from the phrase “although be it (that)” way back in Middle English. The V2 construction is odd to Modern English, but it is a set construction. So, say “al-be-it” with the emphasis on the “be”.

    ITER needs to be re-evaluated. Its primary purpose of exploring how to make an industrial fusion plant has clearly failed and is dead. So what science can ITER do that cannot be done by cheaply and quickly upgrading other facilities?

    Nice video. ITER is a doomed project, the so-called flagship of nuclear fusion research is sinking before launching! - the start of ITER experimental campaign is a couple of decades late (and counting....further delays are rather likely) - the actual D-T experiments will start even later, probably not before 2040/2045 - ITER is massively over budget... it should have cost less than 10 billion dollars, it will cost... well, nobody really knows, but 50-100 billions could be an educated guess - a serious technical issue may arise, not unlikely due to the extreme complexity and first of a kind nature of many of the ITER components (for instance a fault in one of the coils may jeopardize the whole project) - even if everything works, it is now clear that ITER will not provide all the results and technical inputs for the next machine that it was supposed to give... In fact, ITER is a very badly conceived project, badly designed and even worse managed. A very large fraction of the budget dedicated to the development of fusion worldwide is going to the construction and operation of a single machine which should have been the only step needed before DEMO. In Europe, contributing 45% of the ITER construction budget, little resources are left for other projects. The other six ITER Parties contribute only with 9% each, so they may reap all the ITER benefts (if there will be any, that is) with little investments. With ITERm , decades and tens of billion dollars will be simply wasted (putting all your eggs in one basket). Now, additional billions are necessary to fix some technical issues. For the good of fusion, it would be better to revise deeply the whole nuclear fusion development strategy (especially in Europe) and ditch ITER (I know, billions have already been spent, but that is not a good reason to waste many more billions.). Smaller machines, more manageable, dedicated to the development of the many technological and scientific aspects which are necessary for the development of Fusion, that will not be tackled by ITER and that are still far from being solved.

    Hi all, Sorry if I may sound harsh but I have to clearify some things here: First of all for the German audience: there had been a recent video from Norio which represents the current situation more correctly which was actually done in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for plasma physics (hence fact-checked by scientists). ITER is by no means „useless“ or „not worth following“ anymore. Disclaimer: I will not be talking about the whole start-up thing here (besides CFS who is following with SPARC/ARC the tokamak line). Whether the stellerator or tokamak concept will be the first power plant concept does not matter for ITER: Goal of ITER is - besides proving that it does work and enabling research & sharing knowledge - is to test the breeding blankets necessary for all D+T designs (tokamak, stellerator, laser/inertial-fusion). Without a design for these blankets there will be no power plant - fullstop. And there is no chance any running power plant is faster than ITER at the point of testing these :D So the goal still is valid and important! Please do not get me wrong here Jakob - I usually like your videos :D (I don‘t want to be misunderstood at this point as simply being rude or anything) but it would increase the level of factfulness if you‘d actually speak to the well established institution (like the MPI as press releases sadly are not representing everything correctly … sadly :/) They are very responsive in fact if you refer to their „Öffentlichkeitsarbeit“ :D

      First of all, thanks for the comment. Actually, in the video I don't say that it's not worth following Iter, I just explain that there is a discussion about it - not my own opinion, but a discussion in the scientific community. As I say at the end of the video, I don't have a definitive opinion. No matter what, research is still needed in this area, as you said. Actually, I have talked about fusion energy several times with people working on ITER and especially with one of the researchers from Jülich who is working on plasma-material interaction and surface processes in fusion devices. ITER has already produced great results for fusion energy that can be used in subsequent projects. I think this is a fact that is less mentioned (maybe also in my video). And of course they told me that they want to continue with their project. But they also said that ITER is very complicated because of all the different players, as I mentioned in the video. So again, not my opinion, but the idea of this video is to show that there is a discussion going on and of course, as always, you have to bear in mind that each side has its own interests and depending on who you ask you will get different answers.

What are the aspects that you would like to be included in the video?

    "This is because no material could withstand such high temperatures." - I have to disagree. While the particles have a very high temperature, since there are so few of them, the actual energy in form of heat is relatively small. It would be like a very fast bullet hitting a very dense material. The kinetic energy would get absorbed completely by the sheer difference in mass without having any noticable effect. That is one of the reasons why nuclear fusion is very safe.

    • @Mark-qi2jw
      @Mark-qi2jw 5 часов назад

      high temperatures are indeed an issue. There are parts of ITER which see a thermal load of 10-20 MW/sqm and that's a lot, as any thermomechanical engineer may confirm. Additionally, materials will be subjected to highly energetic neutron fluxes (well, if evenually they manage to get a reasonable amount of nuclear fusion reactions....). Those neutrons will damage components which will need either frequent replacements (not really compatible with a commercial plant, and producing radioactive waste) or new materials will need to be developed (some research is on-going but, since all the money is dumped in IITER, there is little left ).

The real interesting thing is how they've nearly built it on a vertical axis, and their "single blade" doesn't have a variable geometry.

    da ich glaube, dass auf diesem Kanal ein Kommentar noch etwas mehr wahrgenommen wird, hier ein Wunsch für ein Videothema. Es wird viel über neue Innovationen und Forschung berichtet und ich finde es könnte etwas mehr zur aktuellen Entwicklung gesagt werden. Konkret würde ich die Elektifizierung des LKW-Verkehrs vorschlagen. Ich bin auf den Kanal eines Truckers (Elektrotrucker) gestoßen, der elektrische LKWs fährt und das ganze sogar schon jetzt als deutlich vorteilhafter, als Diesel-LKWs empfindet. Das zeigt mir, dass wir in dem Thema schon deutlich weiter sind, als gedacht und dass es möglich ist, die Wende zu schaffen, wenn Firmen, die tatsächlich die Vorteile gegeneinander abwiegen die Entscheidungen treffen, und nicht irgendwelche Gewohnheitstiere, die ihrem Motorengeräusch nachtrauern.
