ITER NOW 1.10: Toroidal Field Coils
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2020
- Welcome to ITER NOW! This April, under strict hygienic safety standards established during the global Covid-19 pandemic, two 360-tonne toroidal field coils - the magnets at the center of the ITER Tokamak - arrived at the ITER worksite, after 30 years of collaborative design, international negotiation, and precise manufacturing.
The first TF coil - #9 - arrived from Italy, under contract from the ITER European Domestic Agency, Fusion for Energy. A week later, a second TF coil from Japan also arrived, and ITER NOW was there to record the official document signing transfer ownership of the coil to the ITER Organization.

4:40 that's the first time i actually got how big the fusion chamber was actually going to be. That's HUGE.
edit: And a bit of dutch pride as well. no mega project is complete without the red modular trailers from mammoet wheel huge items around like its nothing.
That's the beauty of this project isn't it. The whole world working together for a brighter future. It fill my heart with joy. :)

@@IOxOI_art yea, we need to wall off all the governments of the world so the adults can work together for our futures.
@@hermeticxhaote4723 I agree, imagine if there were no borders, just humanity with one goal - to get more energy out than is put in to the tokomak
satyris410 I agree. unfortunately that would require an idealized humanity that doesn’t exist and that makes me sad.
I have been following this project for half of my life. I hope to live to see it run. Good luck ITER.
Same here . Glad commercial fusion is only 20 years from us now !
@@cm9748 hmm. maybe. Just think for commercial fusion, they would have to build yet another reactor that is plumbed in to the grid. Then build a series of reactors to power enough over the earth to supply all nations. Then technology would improve and become more efficient. All of which takes time and money to implement
@@satyris410 True ! but the social and social economic problems will be bigger !
There will be a lot of resistance !
BUT has to be conquered !
@@satyris410 Same corporation as CERN same scientists who want world domination controlled by AI where is the freedom only lies lies and more slavery!!!
@@cm9748 as it always was, as the joke goes
It's so wonderful seeing the world work together for a brighter future.
Thanks for sharing and as always keep building👍
ITER: 1 million components
MMX: Am i a joke to you?
omg, this is the one and only wintergaten!!
Why am I not surprised to find you here ? And also : does this mean you're considering magnetic containment fields for the next Marble Machine ? :-D
YASSSSSS, but can MMX Fuse?
does this mean you expect the time frame for completion to slip a little :D
Hopefully they have a good PBS sheet.
I'm so glad that this great project is being documented which really gives a better look at the actual scale of the efforts that went into it
If only the world worked together in all aspects! Great to watch progress
I'm so glad I could be part of this as it unfolds.
@Juan Pretorius what are your contribution?

I am Brazilian and very proud of you
Elon Tusk I think he just meant, as am I, he was happy to be alive during its construction and able to witness it happen, cheers!
Feel sorry for those guys moving the new million dollar equipment surrounded by managers from all over the world. Driving test from hell.
that heavy haulage equipment is worth as much as the coils. these guys arent amatuers. everything they move is expensive. usually more expensive than this little science experiment. budget for CERN 4 billion dollars. budget for oil and gas project 70 billion..... perspective friend. just because scientists and media make you think things are important doesnt mean they are expensive.
i feel like this is exactly what the world needs in order to come together, a rally for all humanity to get behind and support. i hope that people really get into this and come together to stand with this marvelous achievement of mankind
Imagine trying to get your fridge off of that magnet...
The future unfolding in front of us. Building a better world for the next generations. I don't think there is actually a project with higher significance that this one. Would be proud to be part of it.

@SysPowerTools A Tokamak is a toroidal confinement chamber, do you mean a stellarator? A stellarator would be more efficient than a tokamak but it does not make them obsolete, seeing as this is just a test platform for materials and theories the majority of stuff we learn from it will be able to be carried over to a stellarator design.
I am happy this grand construction starts taking steps towards completion.
1:50 It´s nice to see Sting working in the proyect
I thought he was Clint Eastwood :)
Here is history written. Right now!

Something more important than oil prices is happening, but no one is paying attention
History will regard this as a flop and a waste of time - the ARC/SPARC program will make this reactor look like a joke. This is 90s tech and it won’t even generate useable power. Fusion reactors can be built 10 times smaller and 100 times cheaper than this gargantuan waste of space, and the ARC/SPARC program will prove it.
What an amazing project! Been following it since I was at school, hope to see the day it's up and running.
What most impresses me is the fact that all the manufacturing know how is spread all over the world for this project.
1:52 Rayman 3 - i see, a man of culture....
Omg! Seeing the coils next to people I've never realised how huge they actually are! Truly impressive
It's amazing what humanity can accomplish when we work together. If we spent half the time working together that we do in trying to kill each other, we would be so much more advance as a species, not to mention much more civilized.
Wow, one step closer to clean energy
All the best !
Keep up the great work everybody! This is such an amazing project with huge potential. If ITER is successful it may very well change the course of humanity, and I can't wait to see what happens next!
It's great to witness how this project is going forward. Thank you.
Good work and good luck ITER team! You're making history!
im so hyped about this. thanks for updating us with the last informations.. i like the drone flights.
im up to date that you are actually done with the concrete base and structure and just started to install the biggest parts of the torus. :O
it is very hard to get information about current state of projects esp. X-7 .. thanks for sharing.
These coils need to obviously create not only a very powerful field, but a very symmetrical one, hence their "very exacting specifications". Why, then, are different manufacturers from around the world creating these parts which must be identical? Even from a cost perspective, wouldn't it be advantageous to just have the partnering nations pool their money and have one manufacturer make all these parts with the economics of scale?
This is called politics, young man.
It's also beneficial in the long term to have multiple potential sources of additional coils, as it makes replacement and construction of additional sites easier, and eliminates the risk of that single supplier going out of business, or refusing to supply at the originally agreed price, because you've handed them an effective monopoly etc
What if your single supplier goes under, or field coils suddenly become relevant to some country's "national security"? Would you wait a few years while your project burns through millions a day?
Certain countries would only join the program if they got to take part in making the more difficult parts and were left with the knowledge of their construction.
Modern construction techniques also significantly reduce the chance the parts are not identically made and dimensionally accurate.
It's hard to imagine any meaningful economies of scale exist if only 7 are being made, and if there is only one manufacturer then time to complete would be longer...serial productions vs. parallel (the size of a single factory to make 7 of these extremely large coils all at once isn't practical, and undoubtedly doesn't exist). If the engineering documentation is very good, then any competent organization should be able to make exact copies, and this is true especially if one group of ITER quality assurance and quality control personnel are overseeing the work of all sites. It's important to know that as of 2022 130 entities all over the world have made, are making, or planning to make nuclear fusion reactors...the vast majority being tokamaks with ITER being by far the largest. Lastly, spreading out the work spreads out the knowledge and experience that will be essential when tokamaks ultimately are scaled up for power production around the world.
This is my favorite part! Tokamak coils!
Please keep these video coming!
Those coils are massive!
Decided on August 16, 2018 , that I want my future career to be in nuclear fusion. Received an admit from Aix Marseille few days back for Masters Physics. It was a gruelling 2 years. I'll see you soon ITER :)
I learned about Tokamak reactors by reading Alistair Reynolds novels! Highly recommend the Revelation Space series!
I love it! Very exciting progress!
Thank you for your good work Japan.
Thank you for your efforts, italy
WOW😍 It seems like the main components are getting gathered to the site💯💯💯 The building process starts to get intense 🤩 I hope in 2025 I'm gonna see a glowy boi, that would be a great Christmas gift for that year 😁😁❤❤❤
I wish humanity work together like this more times
Will Beaton, you have perfect diction. It is a pleasure to listen to you.
ONE WORD---- FANTASTIC----- hope -this allows hope --MAYBE JUST MAYBE
Coronavirus ain't stopping this marvelous project😁
i heard about this but didn't know you're actually building it... 'bout time
The first coils are completed.. nice work everyone.
amazing!!! :D
So beautiful to know that there is indeed HOPE & FORWARD activily working people across the globe. God speed! Just awesome, gotta love the numbers
#nerdplanet
Godspeed!
another big step!!! :D
Can you upload some longer footage of the plasma containment? Looks so cool
If this goes well it will completely change the history of mankind. The technological leap will still take decades, but it will be tremendous in every way: economically, socially, technologically, even ethically. It will change the relationship between us, between us and the planet, and beyond that in time, between us and space.
I'm close to 40 years old. It is exciting to see so many changes at the technological and scientific level. But sometimes I think I was born too early. I'm going to miss out on so many things that are to come.
Impressive Scale.
I hope iter will be sucesfull :)
Glad to hear you don't waste any money on sound engineers
Fusion is inevitable. Go ITER!
Why is there a Bavarian flag (background at 6:18 )?
Even if I am more an proponent of the Stellator concept, I am happy to see the progress ITER is making and how people all around the world are collaborating on it even during the crisis.
You have an eagle eye! The answer is quite curious: it's Indians and Bavarians working together. Here is why: that flag is on the wall of the Cryostat Workshop, which is the only building on the ITER site owned by ITER-India (the Indian domestic agency). India is responsible for building the Cryostat, but it's too big to build in India and ship, so they have sent huge pieces to ITER, where they have to be welded together. India has brilliant welders, but they don't qualify using the European welding standard; so India hired a crack team of German Bavarian welders from MAN, and they've been working together for years now. In the workshop, you hear Bavarian Deutsch, Hindi, English, and French - German welders working under Indian supervision based on French regulations on an international worksite.
@@GlobalCitizenLLC It should be an MAN Flag then. But it's the state of Bavaria 🤔
Much more performance!!! This is not the end result!!! Let’s live forever with me in space!!! ‼️😊😍😎🤪‼️
Epigenetics may allow people to live a more healthy life, but it will not make it possible to live more than 120 years
I have a better idea. And, I think that you are not qualified for it. You can rest assured, as I took a screenshot.
Nice big box copy of Rayman 3 on the shelf at 2:04
exciting times
For those who want the entire story of the effort to harness fusion for power generation; Daniel Clery's book "A Piece of the Sun" is essential. I'd recommend the ten hour audiobook from Gildan Media available on Audible dot com. The U.K had a credible experimental reactor around August 1957 so it has been a long road but the story is worth a listen.
Sad to see that ITER organization miss a one in a lifetime opportunity to create a series of really informative in-depth videos of this gigantic international effort
There's no budget. Nubs went and spent it all on magnets!
Many-wheeled trucks, what about the neutron flux?
Now that I'm seeing the coils... that thing is humungus
according to the ITER website its currently 68.7% complete. just 5 years to go.
Yes. That was as of end of February 2020. We progress at around 0.7% per month, based on our monitoring of about 25000 weighted activities. So ... you can essentially figure that we are just passing 70% completion.
yes.... the construction maybe , but to fine tune it and power it on , that's another story . in 2025 they should have first plasma , i don't think they will
This is what happens when nations put aside their differences and work together instead of trying to compete with one another. So proud that the EU is leading the way on this. Can't wait for first fusion.
Who’s spending the most money/time on the project?
@@lightdark00 Approximately 49% of funding for ITER comes from the EU.

To my mind this project is potentially about the shape of the future for all of humanity. If it is successful it might mean a new golden age. If it fails, then it might mean that we exhaust our resources and burn out as a species.
Peace!
Go ITER
I see I've landed in the tokamak commercial part of the youtubes.
Wow! It's huge! What is the chance it won't work??and if proven efficient, how fast other units could be built?
I really hope it works this time. That would the end of the energyproblem for good.
7:05 this guy is a REAL GAMER, look at the RAYMAN 3 box on the shelf! Hell yea!
I only hope that if fusion energy becomes a reality, energy companies don't try to shut it down
Nice , looks like we're only 20 years from functional fusion !
Praise the sun!
Let's just hope it works this time
I'll take 2 please!
I'm excited with ITER because it's pretty promising, but it scares me that so much effort and nations are required to build it. It makes me think that it might be unfeasible to proliferate fusion power around the world.
what is different other than size from any other tocamac?
How exactly is the heat transfered to water to generate electricity
whoa
интересно задумка
Не новый, но все же интересный ... 😀
Aaaaaaaaaaand SMR’s are in first phase testing now. I wonder how FliBe is doing.

Can't wait to fry my flapjacks with fusion power!
Which microcontrollers or soc are used for this experiment?
Hmm, i thought Stellarators was going to be the future of Fusion, It's the most logical route for efficiency! It's so sad that Australia is so behind 80% of the world, and just barely scrapped it's way into the ITER project. The telling sign will be whether or not power will be more affordable and the leap in technology following it's official output operation will be a sight to behold. As is The WAY, The PATH, to our future!!!
lets agree on that you dont wanna be wearing a pacemaker near that thing
How do you ensure the same quality in each of the coils if they are produced by different countires/companies? Seems like a risky move
The name for that is quality control in the ISO system !
Which one will finish first? ITER , James Webb telescope or StarCitizen
I bet ITER lol
SAFIRE
Webb is ready, just not lauched. Working on bugs 🤪
Can anybody specify materials specifications for different components and sizes .
there are videos here on this channel that go a little more in depth .. esp. when this channel started. you just have to look them up in their videos timeline :)
How do you even manufacture something on that scale?
How much power will the machine need in order to start up?
50mw and it should make 500mw
WOW
This thing is going to work right? Like make power?
Really hope it doesn't run for 10 years and they say it was a learning experience and the next one will work.
Iter won't be feeding the grid. Research costs money, fusion will provide clean power for your children, that's not worth investing in?
Iter is an experiment project, a big one. It will generate more power than it takes but I don't think it can run for a long time so the amount of energy it create isn't much. But it'll allow scientist have a better understanding of fusion energy and improve on it, so one day we can have an actual commercial fusion reactor. Or so I hope.
@@LaBderErste - no, the reason for not selling the power to the grid is because the scientists (from all over the world) will be running ITER up and down in power, in all sorts of configurations, with a massive amount of every sort of diagnostics, to figure out how to optimize power output, plasma control, pulsed power versus steady state, and every associated parameter of temperature, pressure, control systems. etc. Connecting a device like that to the European grid wouldn't make the neighbors very happy. ITER is designed to allow scientists to test every aspect that will optimize the commercial machines that follow.
The bigger question, when will they make a Rayman 4?
I believe that comes out just after Beyond Good and Evil 2.
The D magnets being made by two producers could be a possible worry, I’d think. Will they alternate the makers of the parts? Like YZYZYZYZ, not YYYYZZZZ.
Yes, I'm thinking about this. But I think they do that to cut the time in building the ITER. But for me, one manufacturer should produce it for consistency.
I'm sure they have very rigorous quality control protocols. A project like this isn't just handed out to anyone.

@@JohnDoe-oe8gm It's actually even more complicated. The niobium tin and niobium titanium strand that makes up the superconductor material for ITER's magnets was produced by 9 different factories in 6 countries. So ... rigorous quality control has been needed from teh very beginning.

This is seriously Homo sapiens last chance. To Me this is what the human race is all about!
Yeah... If we don't crack fusion, one way or another, then I'm not sure how, as a species, we are going to survive...
There's Space of course... And I would argue that we need Both and that the two are linked... But Space is also another Long Shot! In terms of permanent settlements and mass migration of Human Beings off the planet.
Meanwhile, our energy needs keep on increasing, our population keeps on growing, our consumption keeps on accelerating... All the while as our planet's ecology keeps on degrading...
So yeah, we need Energy... Lots and lots of clean, abundant, cheap energy which has little to no impact on our fragile planet. Renewables go a fraction of the way... And I would argue that, even with fusion, installing solar panels on every home would be a great way to make use of the Sun's own fusion energy... (Or better yet... Dyson Spheres in the far off future!) But in the meantine, we desperately need to make our own fusion!
Do this... And we can kiss all our energy concerns Goodbye in one single stroke! Well... At least for a few million years anyway. And by that time, we would probably generate energy in far more exotic ways... So for now, fusion really is the ONLY Long Term game in town...
i wonder if new developments in AI will render this whole design obsolete before its even finished building?
so fission based power plants product 5 - 20 GW and this 0.5 GW if it ever work, is next model able product 200 GW or what?
The amount doesn't matter, it's a scientific test machine. The main important thing is that it should be able to produce more energy with fusion than they have to put in with fuel.
ok. is there build bigger commercial version? any plants for that? its probably cost more than 100 fission power plants but its ok
@@anttumurikka8728 Those will be viable in time. But first they have to prove that it actually works, which is what this project is for.
