This is history unfolding right here. Man am I glad to be able to see so much progress right from the comfort of my home. Technology really has advanced over the years. Fusion energy for all!!!
Where can I get some merchandise? Seriously, this project just makes me speechless. The sheer amount of planing, engineering and construction. The international cooperative mindset behind it. The potential impact this project has. I cannot understand how little this is spoken about. How few people know about this. I would love to spread the word even further and show my support for this super project that unites earth!
More content! Yes! Yes! Yes! I have accumulated some 50 different youtube videos on Iter. I can't get enough. We enthusiasts need to petition the iter people to send us more updates more often. this is the first in some time. i was ready for a tour of the bathrooms there, i was so eager to know the latest
I watched a animated video of its construction with real video of the workers welding an assembling the various parts. That was amazing. The theoretics of this project is truly cutting edge. We got some real smart humans on this planet!
Smoin - I'm sure we'll find a way to screw it up in a new and original fashion. Until then we only have to fear that when this becomes our main source of power we will be forced to pay high usage rates to the one fusion reactor company that powers Earth.
@ I guess that the improved way of screwing up would happen somewhere in the transition time from fossil to fusion energy. I thought that with dropping energy prices the demand would rapidly increase to a point where the waste heat of the consumers is heating up the atmosphere considerable and the lingering greenhouse gases trapping that heat wich makes it even worse... But we will see
Kudos for the Engineering behind ITER, which is on par with some of the largest engineering projects in human history - like the LHC at CERN in Geneva and the 1960's Apollo moonshot. Although I do have the distinct feeling a more compact form of magnetic confinement fusion will be ready before this beast. I say this because of the huge progression made in the field of superconducting tape at relatively high temperatures. ITER is not based on this technology but future reactor chambers based on the tape could be up to 9 times (or more!) smaller than ITER (with the same potential output) because of the much stronger magnetic fields possible with the flexible, and much thinner tape compared to the older superconducting materials used in ITER. ITER has absolutely no flexibility in the configuration, meaning that ITER is 100% based on 1980's and 1990's technology when it was designed. The big advantage of shrinking size with a fusion chamber is that it also becomes much more efficient because of the shorter distances the magnetic field has to be active over. The strength of the magnetic field is the inverse square of the distance. Meaning reactors based on SC tape can have way way smaller cooling systems and use less power on the magnetic confinement system. Meaning the efficiency goes up even further.
Bravo ! Vous les nouveaux bâtisseurs de cathédrales Iter !!! C’est fascinant tous ces corps de métiers du monde entier rassemblant ici leurs savoirs ! Bravo au montage vidéo pour le choix de la musique !! Pertinent !
I hope we will learn something from this It has been so long in the making that it will certainly be made obsolete by smaller endeavours making use of : -More advanced geometry like the Wendelstein 7x stellerator -Newer "high" temperature supraconducting materials like YBCO allowing to make more compact reactors
Even in this dark age of pandemics and dire leaders, even then there is still hope for humanity from projects like ITER or the advances of SpaceX. Not everything is lost.
All those big pieces must fit with nanometer tolerance. No gas molecule can ever be allowed to enter the reactor from the outside, not even plane old hydrogen. What ever gas is allowed to enter is the fuel itself. Just insuring a high pressure hermetic seal is a major challenge itself without any gaskets as hydrogen will go through any gasket.
The 20th century had space exploration for global innovation. This is it for the 21st. Once the energy problem is solved, all other obstacles will fall like dominoes.
I guess we as such an extraordinary group of subscribers could do something real cool - which of us wouldn't like to get involved in ITER at least in the slightest? Maybe the iterorganization is interested in some cool stuff we could help them with?
Why aerial imagery on Google Maps, Bing Maps, Yandex Mapsand geoportail.gouv.fr is redacted / blurred for the site? With amount of drone footage on this channel it doesn't make sense to do such thing I think. Not only that, a lot of France military and other sensitive installations can be easily seen on these mapping services, but ITER not? Weird.
welp, fuckin good job guys .. youve designed the very thing that will push the planet into volcanic overdrive . You and CERN will be why earth became uninhabitable.

I don’t think it’s large enough. There are some good videos about it here on RUclips. I think I’ve heard something like 220 m diameter would be ok but I might be wrong. However I wonder if a smaller ring could help for workout (push-ups bench pressing etc. Workout while laying down) or as a sleeping cabinet? Maybe that’s already good enough to slow down degeneration of the body sufficiently?
So it's possible! Sure would be a bummer, huh. Imagine, all that work, the click as you turn the switch, then that sinking feeling - "bob, you knew we were joking about the dynamite for fuel, right..." BOOM, and you'd be like "Bummer."
China is financing and building components for ITER. Educate yourself before you spew divisive garbage. If only you could achieve nuclear fusion from racism and bigotry.
Also structural integrity i guess. 2 pieces of steel correctly aligned on top will be stronger and has no ridges. Machines, especially such expensive, complex and unique ones, have to be exact and not “that will do”. No room for error.
It’s the intention of it by thousands of scientists. I don’t think any non-scientist opinion regarding the success is anything worth compared to the thousands of scientists their opinion on it. We only got to sit and watch and hope for the best.
@@Engineer9736 All the scientist was sure the Moon hold the answer to the question of longitude for maritime navigation. But it turned out that a carpenter that became a self-taught clock maker, actually found the answer instead. Sometimes things don't always turn out you think.
Why don't climate activists and politicians regularly talk about fusion energy? I don't get it. This project should be on the news constantly, it's a frontier of human progress.
Some want drama, others simply don't know about it. Also, Greenpeace sells wind turbines, so they don't earn anything by talking about ITER (that's also why they talk shit about nuclear plants).
@@Gomlmon99 Then why do they keep pumping billions into a lost cause? Germany, despite only causing 2% of human CO2 output, now subsidized the steel industry with 30bil. euro so they can upgrade their smelting ovens with cokegas tanks which will reduce the smelter's emissions by only 2%. That alone is more money than the entire ITER project costs.
If you want a low view count, be sure not to offer a generally intelligible description of the content. For anyone who wonders what the Hell a tokamak is, here's what Wikipedia says: "A tokamak (Russian: Токамáк) is a device which uses a powerful magnetic field to confine a hot plasma in the shape of a torus. The tokamak is one of several types of magnetic confinement devices being developed to produce controlled thermonuclear fusion power. As of 2016, it is the leading candidate for a practical fusion reactor."
Pretty much every other video about fusion energy explains how it works and what a tokamak is. I’ve heard it so many times that it gets annoying. Everyone interested in this has heard it over and over again. I’m happy that they don’t waste our time explaining it all AGAIN.
Future is looking bright! Thank you, India. Bless you, team ITER. Much love to you all. 💛

Why didn't they improvised the project with the technology you mentioned?Was it so recent?
Fits like a glove.
Stunned again! I have to wonder if people did not feel the same sense of wonder as the they watched the building of the great cathedrals.
A little bit of engineering ballet, refined, rehearsed and flawlessly performed. Just because it is calculated doesn't mean it can' be beautiful.
