Bonjour, à 78% de concrétisation du projet j' imagine déjà venir la réponse à la grande question et je suis sûr et certain que ce ne sera pas 42 ! Bravo, merci, continuez ... ;-)
They really need to do more advertising. I only learned about this project a few days ago by accident! Such an important and wondrous project yet barely anyone knows about it!
The US has invested 600 times more into anual military fundings compared to this. If humanity just wasn't so greedy and aggressive we would make progress at an insane rate
If someone hadn't decided to build a bomb... ITER wouldn't exist. Ballistic missiles provided for the space programs and electronics for weapons supports EVERYTHING. Is the way we'd like to progress? No, but weapons development is a major influence in technology.
@@DavidKnowles0 fission is a lot easier to accomplish, compared to fusion. You could have a fission reactor in your garage. Not so, with fusion. Fusion will take significantly more funding to develop, than fission.
that's the price of freedom of thought. If one is free enough to create great project of ITER, another is inevitably free enough to attack his neighbor with poisonous gas. So we have to spend some money on military, the same way we're spending some money on the police, courts, etc.
It's nice to see so many countries collaborating on one big project! P.S. I'm also a fan of the Indian space program, you guys achieve so much with very little budget
Funny how there are clearly no barriers between the people of this Earth once you set aside politics and religion. Rick Sanchez was right, we need to break the cycle and focus on science.
"Alright Gordon, your suit should keep you comfortable through all this. If you would be so good as to climb up and start the rotors, we can take the Tokomak generator up to eighty five percent and hold it until the specimen arrives..."
ITER has always awed me; it makes me happy to see us striving for a better future with hopeful audacity. On a side note, anyone know what the song in the video is? Can't find any reference.
I wish more people would be aware of what ITER is and why we are doing it. Its surprisingly unknown to the general public in regard to how fascinatingly it is
If people were aware of what it really is, they would prosecute the scientists. Its a boondoggle feed trough, gravy train that has zero chance of working. Its always 30 years away.
@@russhamilton3800 people make fun of it because of bad media represention, getting hopes up because of big talk then when their expectations arent met exactly they curse it. I think this really will work, it just needs more time.
It would be so amazing to work on this, I wish more people would get exited about it. This is the modern day equivalent to a international Apollo mission but most people don't even know about it. I commend all the engineers, trades people, scientists, and international leaders putting so much time and effort into propelling humanity into a green and great future.
it's almost funny how so many SciFi ship designs, forget how much support equipment a fusion engine takes. All that equipment for a modest 28 meters or so reaction chamber, impressive.
Having high temperature superconductors would help a lot to reduce the size and complexity. SciFi takes liberties with science, so they can get to the story. In storytelling, some things are "postulates" that are just given as being true. And then given those postulates, then the story is how things go from there. For example, zombies wouldn't be scientifically possible, but no one argues that about a zombie movie, because that is just a given.
@@ImieNazwiskoOK yeah, to have an engine (something that does useful work), you need a hot and a cold. In space the "cold" wouldn't be able to stay cold.
Hurry up and be careful before it got politicised. Everybody working together is a wonderful dream, but I can't ignore the feeling some are there to delay or even stop the progress. Be careful and best wishes.
The UK has left the EU, but is still participating in/funding ITER. I hope you will update your promotional materials so that the UK is credited for its contributions.
@@ottodidakt3069 it will defenitely deliver useful scientific data. if that data leads to a breakthrough in fission technology is to be seen. in my opinion no cost is too high for the goal of nuclear fission, because if we have that, we will have endless options.
all the millions of parts that must work in unison to bring a successful test, each part is as important as the rest and together they can change the world and revolutionize the future.

Incredible! Always love to follow along via these videos! and I am so very excited! 💖
Thank you all, for what you do here! 😊
fusion energy is like that candy bowl you're not allowed to take candy from, and is sitting on the highest cabinet in the kitchen.
But as you get older the candy bowl gets closer. or you just take the fast method and climb up. I think we have decided to climb.
@@ripofftechtips5918 climbing it is!
This is exiting stuff, i cant believe how fast time flies .. i started following this channel when i was 16 year old in laboratory school :').
That comment means little without knowing your current age.
@@g00rb4u Who knows. The project was officially initiated in the 80s
I'm digging the music. The project is incredible too.
Bonjour, à 78% de concrétisation du projet j' imagine déjà venir la réponse à la grande question et je suis sûr et certain que ce ne sera pas 42 ! Bravo, merci, continuez ... ;-)
This should be on the world interest level of moon-walks.
They really need to do more advertising. I only learned about this project a few days ago by accident! Such an important and wondrous project yet barely anyone knows about it!
The US has invested 600 times more into anual military fundings compared to this. If humanity just wasn't so greedy and aggressive we would make progress at an insane rate
If fusion had receive the same funding as fission did we would have fusion power already.
If someone hadn't decided to build a bomb... ITER wouldn't exist. Ballistic missiles provided for the space programs and electronics for weapons supports EVERYTHING. Is the way we'd like to progress? No, but weapons development is a major influence in technology.
@@DavidKnowles0 fission is a lot easier to accomplish, compared to fusion. You could have a fission reactor in your garage. Not so, with fusion. Fusion will take significantly more funding to develop, than fission.
that's the price of freedom of thought. If one is free enough to create great project of ITER, another is inevitably free enough to attack his neighbor with poisonous gas. So we have to spend some money on military, the same way we're spending some money on the police, courts, etc.
There are always going to be bad people. If you have a strong hand keeping order, then it allows others to safely work on projects like this
Great to see India helping ITER in this great Feat (with the coolers and stuff)!!
It's nice to see so many countries collaborating on one big project!
P.S. I'm also a fan of the Indian space program, you guys achieve so much with very little budget
@@LRTOTAL Yes absolutely a great collaboration! :) Love from India.
Funny how there are clearly no barriers between the people of this Earth once you set aside politics and religion. Rick Sanchez was right, we need to break the cycle and focus on science.
How i never heard of this? Its amazing to see so many countries working together for a project like that!
The day we achieve fusion energy generation there will be a before and after in history
You may know more than what you just said
I love this Project, 78% completed is Amazing!!
however only having the foundations for the injection system done yet, is a bit of a bummer.
if this works, all the boundaries of what we can do will fall
The ultimate boundaries, of the Human Nature will remain.
"Alright Gordon, your suit should keep you comfortable through all this. If you would be so good as to climb up and start the rotors, we can take the Tokomak generator up to eighty five percent and hold it until the specimen arrives..."
Courage les gars. On attend avec impatience les résultats des premiers tests... et c'est long 😅
Mais ce projet est ultra prometteur.
ITER has always awed me; it makes me happy to see us striving for a better future with hopeful audacity. On a side note, anyone know what the song in the video is? Can't find any reference.
The engineering and all that is pretty hard core, Lets hope the thing works.
It depends how you define "works". The flaws in this project have been known since the 1980s. It's certainly employed a lot of bureaucrats.
Works? Yeah it will work. Fusion at 30 percent efficiency. YAY
@@gwh0 with zero flaws it still wont get to over unity.
The world will be finished by the time this is generating power!
Covid is taking over the world as we speak... Or the governmind is!.
How is the engineering hardcore? It’s not even designed to break even.
I wish more people would be aware of what ITER is and why we are doing it. Its surprisingly unknown to the general public in regard to how fascinatingly it is
If people were aware of what it really is, they would prosecute the scientists. Its a boondoggle feed trough, gravy train that has zero chance of working. Its always 30 years away.
@@russhamilton3800 people make fun of it because of bad media represention, getting hopes up because of big talk then when their expectations arent met exactly they curse it. I think this really will work, it just needs more time.
@@n.g.s1mple29 they are harvesting money, not energy.
When this works out, how long would it take to build without all the prototyping and testing?
Its been 30 years away for 60 years. Do the math.
this wont deliver energy to the grid anytime, and it was never designed for that. its a testing facility to get scientific data.
realizing it or not, all of humanity is rooting for you guys!!! You're literally taking steps to save the human race!!
That's a very nice trailer! Im looking for the 100%
It would be so amazing to work on this, I wish more people would get exited about it. This is the modern day equivalent to a international Apollo mission but most people don't even know about it. I commend all the engineers, trades people, scientists, and international leaders putting so much time and effort into propelling humanity into a green and great future.
it's almost funny how so many SciFi ship designs, forget how much support equipment a fusion engine takes. All that equipment for a modest 28 meters or so reaction chamber, impressive.
And in space cooling is hard.
So Giant radiatora needed.
Having high temperature superconductors would help a lot to reduce the size and complexity.
SciFi takes liberties with science, so they can get to the story.
In storytelling, some things are "postulates" that are just given as being true. And then given those postulates, then the story is how things go from there. For example, zombies wouldn't be scientifically possible, but no one argues that about a zombie movie, because that is just a given.
@@brocksamson3282 It would still need a lot of cooling.
But I agree that movies sometimes just can't be 100% accurate.
@@ImieNazwiskoOK yeah, to have an engine (something that does useful work), you need a hot and a cold. In space the "cold" wouldn't be able to stay cold.
@@brocksamson3282 You can use radiators (which in case of tokamak may be light sail for smaller vehicle)
Congratuations for the job done. Hurry up as planet is burning. Thanks for my Childrens.
good news, fusion is now only 20 years away
Really nice project
Makes me want to play Factorio.
Hurry up and be careful before it got politicised. Everybody working together is a wonderful dream, but I can't ignore the feeling some are there to delay or even stop the progress. Be careful and best wishes.
Can't wait for cheap clean energy 30 years from now
I see what you did there. (And I suspect that you are correct.)
I eagerly following this since the first construction site can't wait to see this facility operational!
This project is so cool.
The UK has left the EU, but is still participating in/funding ITER. I hope you will update your promotional materials so that the UK is credited for its contributions.
So beautiful 🥰
We can thank the RUclips algorithm for recommending us this video
And for saving the environment....
Great piece of intelligence.
I hope this helps us usher in a glorious age of humanity. The cold lifeless hands of energy's scarcity has had us by the chokehold
...Dad will this actual work ... Father thinks for a moment, "Son when you return from Mars in 2036"
it wont work as a reactor delivering energy to the grid, its a testing facility to get scientific data.
@@certaindeath7776 but will it actually work ? that remains to be seen. the cost so far could have financed much better things
@@ottodidakt3069 it will defenitely deliver useful scientific data.
if that data leads to a breakthrough in fission technology is to be seen.
in my opinion no cost is too high for the goal of nuclear fission, because if we have that, we will have endless options.
@@certaindeath7776 uhm, I'm sure you meant fusion here, not fission
I wish the teams at ITER the best of luck at reaching a sustainable fusion reaction!
Let's goooo
all the millions of parts that must work in unison to bring a successful test, each part is as important as the rest and together they can change the world and revolutionize the future. To run fusion instead of coal and oilr and gas will save the planet, I hope the testing can start soon and may your tests teach us all a valuable lesson
This is more than the key to energy, this is the key to space travel
ISS, LHC and ITER… we need more projects of such magnitude to make progress for the whole mankind.
Exciting times
ok, im hyped, do you guys think iter will be done built or have it's first test run arround 2025 ?
Great progress! Good luck from India!
The world needs you!! God speed!
I wonder what kind of noise and smell it will produce,Hopefully like metal marshmallows ☄😏
Good luck ITER!
Can't wait! Will first plasma be live streamed?
I hope so.
Fusion reactors will be truly incredible showpieces of human innovation and intellect
indeed, that will be glorious then, one day, when its done ... in 🤔30 years? maybe?
⏰
You can ignore the 30-year time frame guy in the comment section here. He is paid by the petroleum industry to troll social media.
@@michael4576 read my comments. This is an experiment. There is no guarantee that it achieves its experimental goals. If it does not, which the odds indicate, we are still about as close to practical fusion as we are to interstellar travel.
@@spindrift2009 I'm just glad trolls in online forums have zero impact to progress made in the world.
It would be funny though...
Imagine if RUclips existed during the Wright Brother's era.
You'd see comments like:
"The odds indicate they will never get that monstrosity off of the ground."
"Man was never meant to fly."
The sky is a plane only for angels. God will stike the airplane down before it is even airborne."
Smh 🤦
This could be the solution for a lot of problems and still the mankind is focusing on every stupid shit they find instead on such an important topic.
Only 50000 subcriber :(
This more like a bunch of problems than are not designed to be solved.
Let them work in peace. We dont need conspiracy theorist or anti nuclear people protesting about this. Let the project go on quietly and peacefully.
Just imagine, currently we are in awe of the largest worldwide scientific experiment that is still under contruction. In 100 years, this will fit in your garage.
Happiness tears... :')
This looks absolutely impressive. Human ingenuity is amazing and alluring.
poggers
indeed!
I have great hope for this project.
just don't open the portal to Xen, otherwise we will need a Gordon Freeman :D
Beautiful video and inspiring project. I've been following it since it broke ground and will be watching when they hit first plasma!
50p really makes this footage come alive! Great work on the film team's side for this decision.
