I think this is the first video I’ve seen about ITER that doesn’t spend the first 15 minutes explaining what fusion is. Thanks for the talk. Excellent :)
If energy-positive nuclear fusion is possible, it'll usher in a new golden age for mankind. ITER is the most important step currently being taken towards that.
Iter is not even close to energy-positive. If you turned it into powerplant, total energy gain would be about 0.5 and only with assumption that reactor would work continuously. In real life it will be supplied with huge amount of energy even when there's no plasma in reactor at all, so it would be even much less then 0.5. The number they always give Plasma Q=10 is irrelevant in terms of practical purposes. Still, it's giant leap forward.
from what i've heard, the superconducting magnets of iter are already "obsolete" but iter will allow us to learn a whole lot, and a commercial successor will enjoy a couple of decades of material science progress, thus my outlook is bright. i am sure we will consume more energy but burn less fossils in couple of decades
@@drab2000 Energy gain is undefined because it's not designed to produce electricity. If you want to engage in useless nitpicking, as long as there is even a little bit of fusion going on, there is a net energy gain.
Thank you Mr Mitchell, and everyone at ITER. This information may be above my pay grade, and I may require watching it another dozen times before any of it becomes a coherent picture. But I have a better understanding of the many technical hurdles you are dealing with, and the hard work required by all. I want to give you the highest compliment I can think of. I learned something today.
absolutely, there's a reason rocket engineering is well enough developed ("easy enough") that several companies are turning profits with it while this is still highly experimental technology
This video would be a good primer for schools teaching the next generation that will build the coming generations of fusion energy machines. Interesting stuff. Only from knowledge of the past can you build the future.
A really interesting deposition of the magnetic components, I hadn't realised they were so complex. On the side of magnetohydro-dynamics: I know the initial trial will be using the diverters to extract the heat, but can't you use the plasma directly to produce a dc voltage using magnetic deflection of the +ve and -ve ions in the plasma to collecting electrodes ?
Can we get some information about how procurement for these titanic components works? How do they even specify and control these multi-year builds where everything must be precise and perfect?
You are right, its a monumental challenge. Also every nation involved wants to learn everything, so if you need 12, you cannot get 12 identical coils from one manufacturer, you get them built in 4 different nations on 4 different sets of machines by 4 different teams, and then they magically come out identical with identical properties. I want to learn about the construction manual for something like that. It makes building a 4-engine jet airliner where each engine comes from a different manufacturer from a different nation look easy. Likewise if you are into quality control, testing and/or certification, having worked at ITER puts you at the very top in skill level.
Hey ITER? What is the estimated Q total of the complex running at full capacity? We heard the Q plasma will be 10 to 1... but that isn't the whole story.
Very Good Having replaced two TF Coils and removed and repaired the P1 Coil twice at JET I wish you luck. 100% reliability of a prototype will be a first! Are the compressive loads on the P1 linear or some rotational torque that destroyed the JET P1? We got it right in the end. I hope that you are more successful.
JET is a bucked design, meaning the TFs push radially inward on the CS modules (one of which is called P1 in JET), and the TF overturning moment can cause CS (P1) rotation, which is what failed on JET. Since the ITER TFs are not bucked but wedged, there's no risk of CS rotation. The precompression ITER is applying to the CS is in the axial direction, which keeps the modules in place when they are charged in opposite directions and want to fly apart or laterally displace.
Why is it taking so long to build...?? I think by the time this one is built all the commercial small tokamaks in the US will be finished and copyrighted and sold to car manufacturers and we cant then get one out of our car and run our house hold energy from it...?? tell me its not so..

ITER is in no way shape or form built to be a power station, as such it's not optimized for power production, but for testing. lets say you had the idea of a vacuum cleaner. You request funding to make one, noone is sure you can make it suck things up a tube, so you say, if you give me this much, I'll prove it can suck things up a tube. How much do you, on your first vacuum demonstrator, care for the length of the cord? You also want to try it for yourself, do you A: Install a motor to try a wide variety of forces, to later decide on the most optimal one B: Guess and have no possibility of trying any configurations other than exactly 1? Your first vacuum for sure won't be some electrolux model we currently have, I'm sure you can see that, right? Before you go on to prove viability as a power station, you need to make sure you can actually make a plasma in the first place. This is too advanced to skip steps, if you do a bit of research on fusion you will see that there are 100s of questions ITER will try to answer, that will then give us direction exactly what needs to go into a commercial power station (Or if all our predictions turn out to be wrong, steer onto another path) I'll mention a few things here that are necessary but adds to the power used to run the facility, you are free to argue against any of them if you don't think they make sense. Heating the plasma, this will be done using 3 different methods, Ohmic heating (Basically inducing heat through the magnetic field) Neutral beam injection (heated neutral particles injected straight into the plasma) and microwave heating. What is the optimal ratio of the 3? We are not 100% sure because simulating a plasma is VERY difficult and notoriously hard to get done, as such all 3 heating methods are over dimensioned so you can try out different ratios, finding the optimal ratio to heat the plasma most efficiently. As you can see here we can't know the most efficient way until we try it, and if we try to built efficiently, we can't try, this is why this is a test bed, not a power plant. Cooling of the heat injection and plasma bleed off. As all 3 heat injection methods are oversized, their cooling needs to be as well. Plasma in magnetic confinement becomes uncontrollable after a while, there is a theory on how to counteract this by purposely opening a hole in the magnetic field and cooling the bleed off. How much do we need to bleed off? What is the least possible bleed off we can get away with? We don't know, so we need more cooling to be able to deal with this as well. Then we have lithium6 tritium breeding, will this occur at the rate we expect? If we get excessive reactions guess what we need? A way to deal with the heat. There is also no attempt to salvage any waste heat from the cooling, as that will add more systems and more complexity, and that is not what ITER wants to do, we know we can use waste heat from cooling for both power generation and heating homes, but this isn't calculated in the ITER draw at all, because no such systems will be built, and why would they? We know everything we need to know about that because making use of waste heat is something we do every day all over the world. ITER will also run a vast array of super computers and particle detectors, making sure we can monitor and understand the plasma as this will be our firs time having one active for more than a split second. These particle detectors won't be necessary when you build a power station, sure you still need to monitor the plasma but you don't need CERN level equipment telling you exactly what you are getting out of every little reaction. The magnetic field confinement is also over dimensioned, because what if the machine does something we don't want it to do? If the entire machine is ruined instantly we will be set back a decade at least, so better over dimension. Can you see why it makes no sense trying to optimize it for power output vs input now? And this is just a few of the things, there are 100s of theories that will be tested once we can keep that plasma burning, all requiring different conditions.

It would be the first time we try going for energy gain, so it is more or less to be expected. And I assure you it will not work exactly as expected. That’s what science is about. So we will use the new findings to refine our hypothesis and try again. I am sure the proponents of the newer small tokamaks with stronger magnets will be very glad of having this new data, whatever the final energy output of ITER. Of course it’s always more cheerful to have things work out, but one does not get that by wishing it for Christmas.
what happens - some $$$ lost but that is still a chump change comparing to the space station cost. Iter at least promises some practical application whereas space station is just a waste basket.

The real take away here, sadly, is we can't bank on fusion to save us from a climate disaster. Even if ITER goes perfectly this machine is far to complex to turn into a commercial plant and have any hope of being profitable. As a science experiment I think it's amazing but we're kidding ourselves if we think this technology will be commercialized in a time frame that is relevant to the climate crisis.

Heating the plasma, this will be done using 3 different methods, Ohmic heating (Basically inducing heat through the magnetic field) Neutral beam injection (heated neutral particles injected straight into the plasma) and microwave heating.
What is the optimal ratio of the 3? We are not 100% sure because simulating a plasma is VERY difficult and notoriously hard to get done, as such all 3 heating methods are over dimensioned so you can try out different ratios, finding the optimal ratio to heat the plasma most efficiently.

The magnetic field confinement is also over dimensioned, because what if the machine does something we don't want it to do? If the entire machine is ruined instantly we will be set back a decade at least, so better over dimension.
Can you see why it makes no sense trying to optimize it for power output vs input now? And this is just a few of the things, there are 100s of theories that will be tested once we can keep that plasma burning, all requiring different conditions.
Superheros are real.

is there any chance to suck neutrons in angle since in theory if line off action on pc model test as test phase done and simultora data basic done oyu get ecliptic phase model so propose big bang hatch is like probably betwen 2,2 -2,3 -5,6° to create a spin movement or more eficient collect in each case is science but more fun part actual physical data collect and closer to energy so theoretical values are for basic knowledge of data once oyu get all picture is pc modleing data and gathering data and realy work physic I would check how does work on internet model as soemtime gravity paterns does it realy inflict on internet so suden drops on conection on change make me think in high relative theory as so called tahion drive basic principle vacum sution energy made on energy beem so proposed thoery in small version if you beem it with laser core tocamac smaller would it suction energy and in theory if magnetic buble egizst such as scfi start trek shields and tesla coil energy magnetism which is natural what part off particle made would do that magnetic shield energy resistant the only explanation is fine core energy that on hit or energy blact balance power becomes disrupt and you actualy lose production off energy core by shake physical cause or laser puncture technicaly even disrutptor ray is actualy good as it wouls puncture shell physicaly in space to so that us army already has and is no new news anyway also underlining possible elements ofr researcha and inovation can you do have stabilizers improvments or direction off force work if it is donut tech what can actualy stabilize process as some form cushion tech if there is any or is all physics ok is direct couse off energy blast signature prebang and stabile on so diversions and extra form improvments woudl come handy as in predicting and creativity or production some fit in limitations has to be draw then is fast production and creativity althow is vast and very visible as eficient in thoery better then covid 19 like permanent blast and allow people to fell heat on cell level but then again so does solar cells feel people to friendly and futuristic a vulcano on canarian islands is a bit subatomic blast adn apst lifes qustion and warping in universe as soul out body you should ask people who knwo this stuff instead off stargate and padme qustions is like eficient sellon nuclear weapons army budget then all waether shit and then again vulcano cells and then some work on phsics and science preat complicated in look to history or mankind if not only do your job which takes liek 5-6 years to do task like in car industry to do like stamp from science is khow how well understood theme but then again not so fast yes is permanent then again is permafrost to and old age off compete on c02 lvl on production and taking a piece off ice a weather stibilize is kind permanent mix for each standing on its side proud but trade and works despite hapends so future is about to bemore open to work to research and trade and creativity
He is targeting me with his reactor, and my Dam does not want to defend me.
2B euros or 2000Millions of euros which is correct and used in europe....americans did not follow the numbers used before and dont use correctly this term...also lead to misunderstandings like this one....???
The real take away here, sadly, is we can't bank on fusion to save us from a climate disaster. Even if ITER goes perfectly this machine is far to complex to turn into a commercial plant and have any hope of being profitable. As a science experiment I think it's amazing but we're kidding ourselves if we think this technology will be commercialized in a time frame that is relevant to the climate crisis.
A possibly interesting presentation ruined by incompetent audio production.
si far this taks are on hz lvl modulation like science protocol listen submarine pass so vrirtual CAD simulator could help and absorber cushion and goals in research and plenty off new people scientist or students on work willing to help or ordinary job off geting skills and exp propose budegt lock on 30% budget yearly spend money which is already hugh so get a quite fiex assets to work on in theory and on pc or real job test modleing materials also build like research facility with all stuff in it inc 3d printer pressure mold for concrete and so on robotic assembly line for models uav tester and minified line core processing once to be more mini the better on consumer lvl ground also in terms of eficiency and energy production all is good anyway is about to be permanent so is statement earth is planet with oceans and vulcanoes works make it better and improve be creative once can be extra propolsion based on star trek core above dounut part which can work as tahyon drive so so called suction energy planer once in if fired with energy it drain power or even atracts other cores to be magnetic in goals or missions or whatever so this liek 3d perpspective when in facility when on space ship is 2d surface and mission goals apears to be winer one and peacefull to except it create core magnetic move and stabilization so ther is definitly more then soemething and more balance in future the only thing is not small to study as earth is that small so called terranova stuff becomes like functional on other planets as man can even do self terranova stuff if quiped with tools and basic know hows so called toamhawk vtool systems also asl gliders can help and do some task since core planet si preaty large to achieve opne blast and do chanel block operating on scene as star ttrk did in movie like prescan gas earth soil pressure possible place to erupt is all part of asterium place where lt data in star trek used to spend its time remarkable a open vulcamoes teach people to terranova selfguard adn do soemthing usefull for planet too and on missions too yes this is future to
In 30 years... Maximum, right?
[insane laughter]
Does it even matter the money is worthless anyway might as well do something cool with it 😎
oh man, they are so screwed. This this is going to be a hilarious failure.
It will work but still be a failure because its not a viable road due to cost(from either a knowledge gained or a viable path to power perspective). But like a thousand other things it won't be hilarious it will be boring.
@@peterisawesomeplease no, it will be hilarious, because they have been planning this since the Princeton tokomak bogus "break even" report in the early 90s, and actually "building" for the last 17 years. 30 years of fail will go "whirr-fump" when they try their first plasma.
it will never work in real life! Too compex. One thing that we should have learnt from technology by now is that complex never works.
The 10e8 transistor count microchip you typed that statement on would like to have a word with you.
@@NullHand I do not consider it a complex technologie. Simple circuits shrinked to incredible small structures. Sophisticated yes, but complex?
@@schobihh2703 have you seen the euv waver scanners that produce these chips? They are incredibly complex.
@@Landgraf43 I'm everything but an expert in this specific matter. But to me shrinking something makes no complex system. As said before sophistaced for sure. But do you really want to compare chips with the iter and by what grounds? So what defines complexitiy?.
@@schobihh2703 I wasn't talking about the chips themselves but about the machines that produce them. The euv waver scanners. Incredibly complex machines that could only be build with decades of advancements and trillions of dollars of investment.
Can't this guy sit down behind a desk and tell us this. The fucking movement is making me seasick
Can you please be less violent?
@@alvarorodriguez1592 what do you mean 🤔
It's better if he doesn't, this way you can work on your inadequate concentration and ability to tune out irrelevant minor distractions.
I was mostly looking at the diagrams any & hardly noticed (playing on TV, not small phone screen or something with low view angle).
I'm normally easily distracted (spectrumy) and wasn't so if you can't watch this there's lots of room for improvement in that area for you
A desk is a lazy unmotivated gesture. If you want to have your presentation look professional, you stand up. Just don't attend university if it makes you seasick.
Poor little thing...
It's going to be funny when none of this crap works.
Does it matter 🤔 not like the science lobby will get an even bigger project
@@hundredfireify sorry to hurt your feelings
Go back to planet booger you nerds!
@@hundredfireify exactly, at least this is $$$ invested correctly, it is still chump change comparing to the space station cost which gave us exactly what? But for some idiots here these are difficult concepts.
@@clarkgriswold1493 Yawn. Little troll.. nothing else to do on your moms attic?
