This gives me hope that we can work together despite of all our differences. 🇮🇳🇪🇺🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇸🇯🇵🇰🇷
This gives me a little bit of hope for the future.
In the middle of all the backwards mindedness and ideologically driven willful ignorance and war and discrimination based on stupid coincidental traits, there are people working together to make things better. Thank you!
Yeah ok
Very well stated !!!
If ITER will be successful, everything must be accelerated faster than the climatic temperament of mother earth...! Otherwise....
Muh feels blinds meh

I'm planning on majoring in nuclear physics so I can help with the testing and perfection of nuclear fusion!
Cole Johnson Me too. In my opinion, fusion energy is the future, and ITER is the key to this
I will also love helping on a project like this.
I'll hold the ladder!
I really hope this works out. Fusion energy is one of the projects with the biggest potential to help mankind move forward and answer the growing question of where to get enough energy.
Wonderful project and I love how it unites the countries of the world. We need this and many more, humanity together to become one to assist each other. Utopian... but it would be fantastic.
It’s hard to imagine a better example of humanity’s potential than this. We are all much more alike than we are different, and the creation of ITER serves to show that, working together, our species can thrive.
well India finally doing some good work by joining ITER program...
India is doing fission and fusion research for decades.

@@tirthachakrabarti5912 yess you are right
We are among USA,China,eu in science so stfu racist
So now we're proven we can do international collaboration for a fusion reactor. Now if we can only start mining the heavy metal asteroids and building interstellar space craft powered by fusion reactors we'd be doing well.
Oh no
Awesome work ! This is the future of power, not solar or wind.
Good job 👍
I’m so excited!
nice to see progress :)
looks like its moving ahead nicely :)
Changed. South Korea provide 4 sector.
#1, #6, #7, #8
I believe this will power the Monster Space stations.
I worked at a place in New Jersey that drew the copper niobium tin wire from 20ft 3”diameter rods to miles of .5mm wire.
Interessant…
все должно получиться!
i need to know the name of the song you guys used!
Fission: ''I am the best in the world''
Fusion: ''hello world'' (From Mars)...
Why not just 3d-print it? You're welcome scientists from around the world. ;)
utopia planetia :)
It's such a huge and expensive undertaking. Is it not possible to build something on a smaller scale, just to verify that it works?
They've already made dozens of smaller Tokomak reactors.
Fusion cannot be contained by small vessels. They're simply not powerful enough.
Efficiency drops like a rock with tokomak size, many have been made, but this is the first one that is large enough for actual power generation. If your efficiency is not good enough you spend more power keeping the reactor going than you will ever get out of it, making it useless for power generation.
5:25 lol, !! BLAMO !!
what it means??
Astonishing
The narrator sounds like the lead singer of Pet Shop Boys.
5:24 !!BLAMO!!
So many technical terms.
And Brazil?
volt amperes are a measurement of power not current
Why are they building components in different countries which have different weather(temperature, humidity, gravity and air pressure due to different attitude) which will alter the size of the component at atomic level, may increase error level above the allowed tolerance of a few millimeters.
I hope they did take this into account and equalized all the conditions during manufacture and transportation.
It has all been taken into consideration. That's why they have dummy products, they test if the dummies work as expected beforehand.
Lea, the actual construction facility in France, where the components are brought together and joined, is a clean area that’s kept at constant temperature to account for material changes.
Temp, humidity and air pressure change daily, even hourly, you must consider these factors in any case. And it is considered, even in manufacturing of fairly mundane things, let alone in fusion reactor components.
It's world's most expensive experiment.
Bcoz it is expensive plus work is given to countries according to what they are specialized in
UK not exactly in the vanguard!
Man I hope this doesn't get in the way of world war 3.
cant wait for it to start tests.
Even if it doesnt work...well , at least we tried...we gave it a 110% RED HOT GO didn't we.
That's nothing to be sneezed at.
If it does work? well thats only the start. We cant all afford such machines.
Will take years to refine and perfect. This one machine wont power the world.
Banbury Cross This one machine is going to power nothing. It has no electricity generating parts. It's scienctific only.
It's designed to test if the power of fusion ignition can be contained.
It'll work alright, it's not exactly being built on a maybe. But there is tons that need to be learned about actually operating such a machine, lessons that will feedback to next designs. I bet there will be lots of cases where in hindsight people realize that things really should have been designed differently.
current in units of volt-ampers? wtf is this?
The thing with joined European projects is that they are slowly moving, and when they fail, they fail big! And only the very rational over calculated projects are getting realized, and still!
I know we should separate politics and science, but I would be for excluding US and Russia from the Project for they east European and Middeleastern politics. But thank you Iterorg for the nice informativ videos on your channel.
What the hell Australia?!?! Get in the game!
I’m so embarrassed. I’m sorry everybody😓
Don't use chinese coil. they are of cheap quality
Y en España como siempre siendo la analfabeta de Europa 🤦♂️ que políticos tenemos...
why chine.make one on your country?. is shep for them.
This thing is a monstrosity...I just found out about the program today, I've been following CERN for some time...WHO THE HELL IS FINANCING THIS??????????????
All 7 ITER members
European Union, China, India, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the United States
lol chineese coils ? this thing is gonna breakdown days after it fires up , lol you used parts from china ? , lmao
it's always fun to see people commenting that China products are faulty, you forget that the things you type those obnoxious comments are made there, and perhaps your entire house is covered by their products, it is the so called "developed" countries that bargain and bargain until they get the lowest possible price, but then complain on quality
the quality of product depends on it's price irrespective of the country it is manufactured in.
It's sad that America was not mentioned once in this video.......
Did you watch the video? 5:40 San Diego is in America.

was that uganda at 5:17
Try paying attention next time you watch it then...
iter est un réacteur qui ne fonctionnera pas une folie qui nous coute tres chers
et ne sera capable de produire de l’électricité le plasma est instable
+oliv rob MDR!
Hope this machine actually works LMAO
Oh no... Chinese components.
Do we really need a new source of power this badly? Does creating 150,000,000º C on our planet really seem safe to y'all? To compare : "The Sun has a temperature ranging from 6,000° Celsius at its surface which is hot enough to turn gold, tungsten and EVERY METAL ON EARTH INTO GAS (to) around 15,000,000° Celsius in its center". IMhO, three words sum this thing up : unnecessary, reckless, INSANE.
I await the variations of "luddite" ad homs that will likely follow ... > : [
Yes we do. Free(er) energy is the key to equality.
youstandcorrected we already have free solar, wind, tidal and geothermal power sources to choose from, which we've only barely begun to make use of. So perhaps you could explain why you believe we require this RISKY alternative ...
: / > -
There is nothing risky about it. The main difference in the sun is an enormous pressure whereas in iter there will be no high pressure. The hot plasma has relatively little thermal energy in it which would not affect the surroundings or leave the building even if you could imagine a scenario where it leaves the machine. Which makes it safe is that there are no dangerous substances used as fuel and no potential for the reaction to move on on it's own and get out of control compared to other nuclear power sources. The reason why we need such energy source is because it can be done anywhere compared to sources like wind and water, and it produces a constant amount of energy without fluctuations, so missing wind can't make you run out of electricity.
Frank Steffahn First, thanks for your civil response. It's refreshing to not be insulted right off the bat. Here's hoping my reply will not cause you to reevaluate that choice ; -) .
Now ...
"Nothing risky"? How can you know this? Isn't this an all new process? Imo the unknown always suggests some potential for risk.
A substance heated to 150,000,000º C has "little thermal energy"? Relative to what exactly ... a supernova? Certainly not anything occuring naturally on the Earth.
Hot plasma is not a dangerous substance? Well sure, any lightning-struck fool can tell you that.
Where on earth does the wind not blow? Oh yeah, under the water ... that ebbs and flows, creating potential tidal energy. And considering that about 7/10 of this planet's surface is ocean there isn't much land that can be too far away.
You seemed to forget about geothermal, which according to it's name is kinda available everywhere on earth.
Solar is also generally available I understand.
Finally, if you want energy without fluctuations, better stick with DC. But seriously, I'm sure you know we have ways to store energy when it is not being produced.
So ... "Risky"? Yes. "Unnecessary"? Yes. "Insane"? Happily you didn't contest that point, so I'm under no obligation to defend it at this time. Cheers. : ) > -
AHerderOfCats I think you got some good points.
Still keeping the point of safety, the low pressure of the gas (or plasma) combined with the high temperature makes it have very little mass and hence little thermic energy. It's not like there is as much stuff, pressure and temperature as in an exploding hydrogen bomb. Also the magnets surrounding the gas get cooled down to just a few degreeds above zero Kelvin for the superconductors to work. If I had to guess what could happen in worst case, the reactor could break from the heat maybe, but it would not reach much further, not leave the building. Compare that with nuclear power from Uranium that has the potential of the reaction going out of control and heating up by itself further, this fusion reactor actually gets to 150.000.000° C by heating it up with microwaves from outside, so it is coming from electricity, not on it's own. The energy is very well comparable with other things on earth, they say you need the equivalent of a few thousand electric stoves to produce all the microwaves. If it gets colder when something brakes it is safe, because all the fusion will stop immediately.
I don't know much about geothermic energy but I doubt that it yield very much energy and also works all over the world. Nuclear fusion has the potential of enabling gigawatt power plants with no constraints of where to build them.
I live in a region that produces a lot of wind energy myself and I can say that from what I know, the fluctuation is a pig problem. They can even yield negative electricity prizes at the stock market (or wherever they trade it) on stormy days. Solar power is more constant, but still depending on weather and producing over the day while the power is needed in the evening when it's dark outside, or in the winter when it's cold but the solar power is much weaker. The only great potential I see in solar power is the possibility of decentralized power generation with people also having their own batteries to store power. Otherwise it would need new techniques, yet to be found, or a load of resources to make centralized batteries for storing the power.
As long as you'd need centralized oil, coal or uranium for power plants I'd prefer a working fusion reactor, hopefully becoming a working and cheap alternative that can be used in a few decades.
