ITER NOW 1.11: The Big Lift
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2020
- Welcome to ITER NOW! The foundation of the ITER machine is the 1250 tonne stainless steel base of the enormous cryostat that will surround the tokamak providing the high vacuum, ultra cool environment needed to support the vacuum vessel and the superconducting magnets.The heaviest single component of the ITER machine, the cryostat base must be lifted over the sub-assembly tools in the Assembly Hall and lowered into the neighboring tokamak pit with absolute precision.
Adhering to strict safety guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic and maintaining a tight schedule leading up to the launch of assembly, failure for the ITER team today is not an option.

I had worked for ITER during 2008 - 2013, good to see the real progress, I wish I could be there during this historic moment.
Thank you India!
Ignition will be the only spark that might enlight those dark times! go ITER
Was kinda hoping to see it lowered into the pit. Darn.

@@theBasi You are a hero
they didn't show it, because they dropped it :-P
Finally a video about the PROCESS of ITER. Most other „news“ videos are just explaining what fusion is and how a tokamak works over and over again.
Been following the ITER project since 2006. Can't wait to see how this all turns out. Great job.
I've been following it for a few years now too, it's really amazing to see the progress that is being made. I read the article in The New Yorker about the huge difficullties of the planning phase. And I have seen the foundation being built for what felt like ages!
Wow Amazing. In 2006 i was six.
I've been following this project with baited breath since finding out about it in 2014, it's amazing to see how far it's come since then! Congratulations to all who are working on it. It must be awesome to see a lifetime of work finally start to come to fruition! =)
According to the premonitions of Nostradamus, they switch it on... and it blows up taking out most of the South of France with it.
So much salt from our Brit's neighborhood
Bated breath. The word isn't about eating fish lures
If ITER works as intended, the future of mankind will be forever changed. The day that the first g>1 plasma is concieved in the womb of this steel colosus, will mark the dawn of a new age
your comment gave me chills haha... the good kind!
it will mark the demise of fossil fuel power energy
can you tell me how?, Im new to this domain
I wish. It will mark the dawn of the most expensive electricity on the planet.

Amazing - the skills and expertise of the crane drivers, the surveyors, the riggers are all equally as crucial as the nuclear physists! I can't even imagine how a project as complex as this is managed when there's not one single person who is capable of knowing everything about the whole project. It's awe inspiring how much we're capable of when we work together instead of competing against each other.
Merci de nous tenir informés de la suite de cette incroyable construction pour le futur ! Bravo à tous les exécutants de toutes nationalités ! 👍🏻
Wow. Good to see. Best wishes from India. 🇮🇳
Cannot wait to see where this is all going. Respect and big thanks to all the scientists and other people who are working on this project!
It was this project that inspired me to study physics at University, I hope one day I get the opportunity to participate in the development of nuclear fusion as a commercial way to produce energy, best of lucks ITER!!! Love from Mexico
I have been following the project for many years! The reactor assembly has finally begun. Go Iter! Go! Full ahead!
Congrats to the entire ITER team !!!
Seeing this rekindles my hope for our future and brings tears of joy to my eyes. Let's Light This Thing!
Exactly. The next time you see ppl doomsdaying about the human race you can explain to them that within a few years all our our worries go away.
@@poppyrider5541 "all our worries'' 😂😂 pls go back to sleep
@@realsemig kek. Alright.
@@poppyrider5541 it's a single big reactor, it doesn't pay for the maintenance and construction part of the electricity bill and frankly if we really had a problem with lacking energy production we'd just have built more fission reactors.
As SpaceX, ITER is included to those actual projects we NEED to believe for a better future. Go ahead !
Super inspiring and uplifting to see nations coming together to achieve great things!
uplifting pun intended?
@@flipside-games That joke was a low hanging fruit, ha.
@@viktorg6823 You're right, its time to 'raise' the bar ;)
Looking good. Really starting to come together now. I'm sure it will all fit perfectly.
I was just watching some videos on ITER earlier today, good to see updates are still being made on it.
keep going guys. that's a beautiful project because of its goal, but also because it shows that people from multiple nations can work together for a better world. you're all a source of inspiration for me. 👍
The long-awaited moment! Bravo!
Godspeed ITER!

Awesome work! Looks like a giant rear brake disc 😂 Well done everyone involved this is pretty exciting!
Loved it from philippines🇵🇭
it’s really interesting - this is an exercize in scaling DOWN what occurs in nature.
I'm from Germany. I love this whole idea and also I love ITER
The German stellarator, "Wendelstein 7-X" is already producing impressive results and has broken about every record there is in high energy plasma physics.
The Highest plasma density ever measured, the highest plasma energy density measured, the longest time of any plant for a sustained fusion reaction. Well over 100 seconds.
Plans are to reach 30 minutes of sustained reaction over the next years, the stellarator design also has the major advantage of being able to operate continuously with injecting new hydrogen and venting helium. The complete costs over 18 years has been about one billion euro. Thats is only a small fraction of ITER which is planned to begin first trials in 2025. So even at the start they have a lot of catching up to do. Especially if the German plant is already at 30 minutes+ in sustained energy production with a net gain of energy.
I think the stellarator design has a better chance at success than the old Russian tokamak design just because it can't operate continually and would under optimal conditions cycle fuel every 30 minutes.
Nonetheless, I think ITER is very interesting too and a testament of just upscaling is the answer after 50 years of experimenting with the Tokamak design.
French's english accent is so funny XD All the words that also exist in their tongue, they make no attempt at pronouncing them with an english accent.
As a French i totally agree, sound weird even for a french 😂
Honestly? With as many english people speaking french with a broad english accent, I think we can give this one guy a pass ;)
(french here) We actually learn to speak english in the most french accent possible, as most british people can't understand a french guy trying to have the english accent. :)
Every time I hear those accents it reminds me of the sauna scene in 'La Grande Vadrouille'.
And that's only a "french people from France" thing lol. Here in Switzerland, you'll never hear someone speak english in a "french" way (even though we speak french).
Best of luck, all of you at ITER. You are making history, you are doing what man is supposed to do: be the master of nature, in every respect.
I hope that the economical crash that will maybe follow, after the corona pandemic, will not stop this really importend project. This will show us if the Tokamak Design is actually a good one or not. I wish you the best.
If this was an US project, Congress might have cancelled it. Luckily it's not.
This is the most important event in our lifetime. More awareness and funding pls
Great to see this progress. This will be a game changer for humanity.
Ahh, to finally learn what's *really* going on inside those plasmas. So many theories!
Time for some big, sophisticated, measurements, at last!
Some say it is still hanging there to this day
So glad progress is still being made inspite of these circumstances!
Amazing , thank you to share the advance of the project.
Thank you @iterorganization for educating me, this is incredible!
Amazing work. This will change the world forever. Step by step. You can see this is being done right!
In awe, ITER is amazing
What a great Job ..... keep it ۔۔۔ destination is just few step away
Very challenging, I wish I can see ITER working before I die,
Thank You 🙏✌️
Véri ouèle done!
Good work.
Have someone record everything that's happening on a weekly basis and then upload it. Taxpayers deserve seeing what is being built with their money, come on! We love all the details of a project like this.
Well if it isn't precisely the point of this channel, what is ?
Would have been great to see this live streamed as they lifted it.
@@PiatraTare I'm sure there's more available than 4 minute videos every 2 weeks. I understand it's not a priority, less so for a channel that doesn't have more than 30k subscribers, but I'm sure everything is being documented for the eventual TV production (as is always done with large state-sponsored projects) it's just not being divulged to the level we've (perhaps) come to expect from a medium like this one. I follow projects on YT that are very tastefully recorded and edited on an almost weekly basis in half hour + segments, granted it brings in Patreon subscribers, but one would argue there's a similar obligation here, this project being a public endeavour.
NASA has been doing the same format with 1-5 minute videos, maybe it's a government thing. It just seems to barely scratch the surface, as if fearing to overload people's attention spans, or they just plainly don't see a need to go any further. Well, some of us do.
You don't ask, you don't get. I'll wait for the documentary in any case. Hope it's not like fusion, always 15 years away!! JK, although apparently first D-T experiments 2035, huh?
"taXPaYeRs DeSeRvE To knOw!" This thing cost less in its entirety than 1 years US military budget, and it started in 1988.
@@Mp57navy So less than a trillion USD? What a bargain.
amazing! incredible! from the american youth! To the future goes the brightness!
It's a bit weird referring to yourself as "the American youth". Or do you presume to speak for all the young people of America?
Sehr schön gemacht
Nice to finally see these easily accessible updates of ITER state. Watching the video i feel like one of the real big problems to solve is, how to communicate effectively with everyone speaking these incredibly heavy accents. I have a hard time understanding them. Maybe subtitles would help...
Great Machine. Great Crane by REEL!
That's funny how this project is not really known by the general public. But this one of the most important project for the future of humanity.
Amazing
best wishes, guys!
Very coo! :)
Fusion is not only efficient as hell, it's also kind of badass - I mean, you bruteforce some particles into being a almost-star
A new star is born
hell yeah
HYPE. See you guys at first light, I got enough time to save up for my plane ticket lol.
I've learned the project from an EE course i had this semester. Too sad I m not an electrical engineer but a electronics and information engineer. I wish I could join that kind of projects. The complexity is just insane.
Fusion power is the future of humanity. Fossil fuels and even fission power will totally run out in the next decades. I believe that if we can't master fusion power, we human will not have future. So good luck for ITER and take us to the future with unlimited clean power.
Quel accent, les gars ! Aussi parfait que le dispositif.
Couldn’t film the rest of it? 😓
Good luck! Future new!!!
Go ITER
awsome
very good
Let there be ITER light!
What a milestone the very first component inside the pit just wish they wouldve shown it to the end and why isnt this place filles with live cameras all over the place this should have been a 15 minute video minimum please .but other wise bravo .brava.bravis
An important step!
Wooooooooooo!
Scary good
Nice
If this thing works, it could possibly save the Earth from a polluted death....
I'm really thrilled RUclips's algorithm suggested this video for me (useful for a change)! Incredibly educational content team!
I have two suggestion and a question for you guys.
1. Could you do a video about the software used throughout the project? (I've seen matlab used for instance) how will iter be "futureproofed" from a software perspective, do you have legacy code already as the project is decades old?
2. Could you do a video about what natural resources have been used and will be used and also how exactly the reactor will be fed deuterium? Is it correct that lithium is to be used? AFAIK lithium isn't an infinite resource in earth's crust and with electric vehicles being produced at a faster pace could that be a problem for iter?
Also, why was that site chosen for construction?
Thank you from Sweden!
Some say this is a giant sized, prohibitively expensive boondoogle, in technicolor. I say, go ITER, lets make it even bigger and more complicated and make those critics eat their words.
For Science and Future gogogo 😎
_nice_
No fair! You can't give us the big lift without the big lower! 😄
As a welder.. im looking a all those tight tolerances in such a giant stainless part and im very impresed .. how do they manage warping !
Great work ! I hope everything will work as intended. Keep going guys !
I've watched all your videos, realised I must subscribe. Can't wait to see if it works! Fusion is an important step towards type 1. I wonder if the recent news of a successful technique to stabilise fusion reactions is in time to be added to the build. Does anybody know? Also curious about what they intend to do with all the power, as I believe it won't be hooked up to the grid.
To 1.: What exactly do you mean? In fact, many results from present fusion research will be considered and testet later in ITER. The machine won't be finished in 2025, it's an experiment still. 2.: For ITER, the thermal energy produced by fusion reactions will be about in maximum about 500 MW. This energy wont be converted to electricity but simply convected away in cooling towers. For the future, the DEMO reactor is planned (if ITER is sucessful), which will really be a prototype of a power plant. The energy there is expected to be 2000 MW. Hence, we're still in the order of magnitude of conventional fission power plants. The power grid will manage this load, requiring of course connection to the 380 kV or 500 kV voltage level (like big nuclear power plants or coal power plants)
I'm very curious, if all the details of how to create a fully functional reactor are known tomorrow, will it be build for commercial use immediately or only some decades later.
"Fault" lamp on the right control at 3:17 is on.
Thats why we don't see the rest... it's probably still hanging there.
he doing the manual mode *lol* he doing it by hand
This is phenomenal, keep going!
HTS FTW!
Wish you the best, but for the long term, my bet is on stellarators.
Why is there a single pixel line running across the video? Made me think my tv was broken
Wow! Good work.🇷🇺
Can someone simplify how this will work ? How will it be turned on ?
Imagine the complexity of designing this facillity
Am I the only one noticing the talking voice moving around? Oh well, onward, to the future of power production!
👍👍👍👍
Allez courage encore 10 ans pour voir le "machin" peut-être démarrer :)
I really do hope that fusion will become sucesfull. It would help humanity clean the earth of fossil fuel
It must be cleaned of ignorance, obscurantism and disgusting ideologies too.
It would also put an end to fission. I am a big proponent of conventional nuclear energy as it is vastly cleaner than fossil, but working fusion would be the true game changer.
Gaz ve petrol sevenler bu videoyu sevmiyor :)) Gelecek için füzyon.
Вф
Fusion might start faster in space where is no gravitation, it should be tried at a very small scale to see if there is a fundamental difference in how the whole process behave, also in no gravitation, there can be used a confinement structure to hold it in a round shape like the sun not a ring like it is now
I want one to, where do i get my own Tokamak.??
@Kalendas Graecas Nope, they just sold the last one... maybe next week....;-)
I purchased mine on eBay. Saw some on Aliexpress, too. Or just wait for the garage sale in Cadarache.
work visibility
Allo Allo
Bon c'est mignon tout ca mais ca va marcher pour quand ITER ??? ca fait des années que je suis la chose et ca deviens long
the future is on its way, a new form of clean energy
