In a nut shell GPT: Germany’s nuclear fusion research has recently achieved significant progress, especially with the Wendelstein 7-X reactor, the world's largest stellarator-type fusion device. Located at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, the reactor set a new record in 2023 by reaching an energy turnover of 1.3 gigajoules, surpassing previous targets. Additionally, it maintained plasma for eight minutes, an achievement in extended stability essential for future fusion power plants. The upgrades, including enhanced heating and cooling systems, allow it to operate at new high-energy parameters, marking a key step towards sustainable fusion energy Germany's broader “Fusion 2040” program further supports this goal, aiming to integrate fusion technology into a working power plant by 2040, with over EUR 1 billion in funding dedicated to research across various institutions. This strategic plan, integrating industry partnerships, aims to develop a fusion ecosystem that may position Germany as a leader in practical fusion energy solutions in the coming decades.
It is all about containment….. The sun uses the force of gravity to contain the fusion reaction and only energy in the form of radiation can escape the force of gravity. Whilst here on Earth the fusion reaction is contained by the magnetic force. The question must be how the energy from the fusion reaction is captured and released from the magnetic confinement. It seems an impossible task…..
ITER has definitely thought this through, even before they began building anything. In magnetic confinement, energy from the fusion reaction comes out mainly as high-energy neutrons, since these neutral particles aren't affected by magnetic fields. To capture this energy, materials like a "blanket" surrounding the reactor can absorb the neutrons. This heat can then be converted into electricity, much like a traditional power plant.
CONGRATULATIONS. Very Good VIDEO and detailed explanation. Give ALL the opportunity to understand this complex, costly and truly difficult Enterprise for Mankind ! Excelent !
The biggest problem with fusion is the amount of money being wasted on it. Fusion is not even close to reaching parity with the amount of energy needed to initiate it, and all the hype and wishful thinking in the world cannot change that. Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, Viable Fusion. Let's get real and spend that research money on fission to develop clean, safe, efficient reactors that produce only a small fraction of the waste that current fission reactors do. Want to solve the fossil fuel problem? Modernize the fission reactor designs and start installing them in large numbers. We can't wait forever.
Hmm... pure hate without context. What would happen is a sharing of things that flatten enemies in exchange for blueprints and engineers to make this at home.
It used to be that all the best inventions were achieved by enthusiasts in garden sheds. Not sure that the neighbours would accept a test nuclear fusion reactor next door.
Early fusion research was indeed conducted by enthusiasts in garden sheds. I few uber-nerds are still tinkering with fusion reactors. Do a search for the "Farnsworth Fusor".
This has nothing todo with intelligence, Germans on average are no more intelligent than anyone else. What makes the difference is education and public funding of universities and science projects.
We won’t have the need for nuclear storage, it’s only really radioactive when the device is on, that’s what’s so cool about it, we’re there to be a breach there is no risk of significant contamination like Fukushima or chernobyl
Stellarator is an American invention from early 50s. Europe allowed Germany to host a Stellarator project as the consolation prize for not hosting ITER. Politics. Countries with thermonuclear weapons are always keen to support/host fusion research projects for various reasons, including skill base development.
Parallel slits slightly concentrate light and high speed atoms.If these slits instead are arranged in concentric rings. could they be used to focus collisions of atoms?
500 seconds is quite a lot. - Congratulations, and always remember that a good teamwork brings scientist together according a peaceful and better future.
Will be fully realeased after 5 years , where the opposing chip producers are far more advance , like what happened to hisilicon kirin , totally crushed , it kept up but its far to late , tsmc and samsung moved on next step
In simple terms, the whole idea of nuclear energy revolves around the fact, that fissing or fusing atoms results in a conversion of the "binding energy" of the nuclei (being a sort of additional mass for each proton/neutron bound) into pure energy, which, as stated in the famous E = mc2 (c2 is approximately 90 000 000 000 000 000 m2/s2), is absolutely enourmous compared to the energy you would get from the thermodynamic reactions you've mentioned.
Besides, it is you who is inputting the energy into the system when heating the hydrogen fuel, not the other way around, so heating it up to expect it to heat up something else (like water) is basically pointless...
Germans like to make things big, during the Chinese like small and compact things. I think we need a certain kind of mini fusion reactor to even power homes and small cities with it. Easily a big reactor is destroyed, and a lot of radiation can be set free. Better is to have some small reactors?
Ok, the article I read about the ITER experiment (Latin for "the way") doesn't begin until 2027. I've found every article I read yesterday except one and it might prove elusive because I followed links and links and links.

when i was a child, i asked my father for money. he said I will give you plenty tomorrow. each day was the same. finally I realised and told him tomorrow never comes. That was 80 years ago. i have grown up and know fusion like peace is always tomorrow, because man is not evolved to be a human by calling himself one and fusion never success until man discover real physics of space and matter.. I pay 100,000 chine’s Yuan to any one charity proving me wrong. Scientist are stupid and western world leaders do not have the back boon, ball, intelligence or power to order their scientist to prove me wrong and expose their lies past 63 years. So currently over 90% of physic is fiction and lies continue. congratulate
У меня кое что есть. Решал трехмерную задачу. У меня в shorts чертёж. Между Илоном Маском и самоваром. 44 уравнения. 2,4,6,12 мерные уравнения. Результат взаимодействия 45°
As always thank you so much so interesting so helpful helpful maybe to humankind so informative hope it doesn't we don't have a thing like 3 me island with it other than that sounds great very good
@rmeyer6867 I mean, we know for a fact that fusion IS possible and from the theoretical model we know that it yields a lot of energy. Moreover, we have even achieved an uncontrollable hydrogen fusion already in e.g. Tzar Bomba. So I guess it's just a matter of improving the aparatus so that we can contain and sustain the reaction for as long as necessary for it to output a useful amount of energy (and we are veeeery slowly getting there)
Ok a crazy thought over here but maybe the difference between the initial atomic structure and the new structure is the energy needed to go in to it then why would we think we will receive more energy???
Yeah, this is basically where the first ideas for fission and fussion were derived. It all comes down to the famous equation of E = mc². You are basically converting the so called "binding mass" into pure energy by ripping apart and gluing the nuclei togheter. The mass of the elementary particles remains unchanged however, it is just the binding energy that changes through modyfying the structure of the atoms. If you calculate that the net energy of the reaction is positive (you convert more mass into energy that energy into mass), then you know that the reaction is useful for you (notice how it is just certain reactions that are used, while other are not). So your crazy thought is indeed a crazy thing that was first proposed by none other than Albert Einstein, and turns out to be the source of pretty much all of the energy in the universe.😊
So...create a "nano-sized" star, cross your fingers, and hope that the reaction doesn't create the environment that would kick-off super dense matter & energy that pulls all of the matter surrounding it, further fueling the fusion reaction that keeps on pulling matter into an exponential runaway reaction that only stops when it runs out of fuel (ie. ALL matter that can be attracted through a rapidly growing gravometric feild) Sure...go ahead...what could go wrong?
It's a brilliant marvel not surprising from human brains created according to God's plan for eternal development and astonishing enterprises across the universe.

You gotta give it to them, German people. Very intelligent, specially in the electronic department.
Not bad in track and field either.
Precision German engineering

this exact thing was said by a painter 80 yrs ago. i wonder if he was right.
If the Germans and the Japanese formed one intellectual alliance, it would be a juggernaut.

Quantum computers and AI will finalize the design.

What German invents, American and Russian reverse engineers 20 years later, and Chinese copy 10 years after that for half a price.
More like the Chinese already probably have they might sell shity toys that break but they are very smart
Copying is anti monopoly of inventer.
It make less smarter people survive.
They dont make thing wrong.
CONGRATULATIONS. Very Good VIDEO and detailed explanation. Give ALL the opportunity to understand this complex, costly and truly difficult Enterprise for Mankind ! Excelent !
Biggest problem with this being fully realized is the fight against human nature and greed. If it can't be monetized, it wont stand a chance.
It will be monetized and it will happen. Greed works for the good of all.
@@GeorgeDoughty-m8e u are a fool and a propoganda for normalising greeed and suppression of free energy
We're literally manufacturing e-waste...
Which is why the Chinese will be first to deploy and at scale.

What will the cost be to the consumer? After all, someone is going to have to pay for all this R&D.
Is it really a good idea to have USA and Russia in ITER, so that every contribution Germany makes can instantly get copied by competing superpowers...
It's for the future. How near we are achieving this goal remains yet to be seen. The full focus is on obtaining safety procedures.
Germany shut down every Nuclear Power Plant.
We need to take 10 steps back and solve the energy crisis now with clean energy,
If we don't we just keep chasing the rabbit down the hole,
If they are really close, big guys from USA would come and destroy the project
just like the Nordstream Pipeline.

Ours starts by itself and makes electric current. Costs 500$

Then why they are still paying high dollar for US LNG.

Good job
Nuclear fusion is the future of clean energy production.
You can't produce energy, only change it from one form to another.
You think Nuclear Fusion is *CLEAN* ? The radiation is fatal.
Since the plasma is so hot couldn't we just keep the plasma hot enough to boil water, to make electricity would the cost be less than full fusion

You are confusing temperature with heat-energy. It's a similar mistake people make with speed and momentum (while ignoring the mass).
@@noehoffman306 Once Fusion starts, won't it generate enough heat to be self sustaining, plus generate extra heat?
someone tell how this will create Elc.

Fusion plants don't have radiation problems, there is no waste. It's clean fuel.
