Artificial Sun goes further

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is an international cooperation project aimed at developing controlled nuclear fusion technology and realizing the dream of “artificial sun”. This project is different from the Large Hadron Collider or the International Space Station and can be controlled nuclear fusion. The significance to humanity is a major symbol of human science and technology progress and can solve energy problems that plague scientists. Last week, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor received one of its most important components. This is by far the most powerful artificial magnetic coil. It weighs 30,000 pounds and is about 13 tons. The huge copper cable is almost 1 km long. And it is wound into a structure about 4 meters in diameter.

The magnetic coil used in the ITER reactor is not made of superconducting material, but will eventually be replaced by more expensive materials. Once the superconducting material is in place, the ITER will be tested. The basic principle of fusion reaction is basically the same as the energy generation pattern on the sun. Artificially creating a nuclear fusion reaction requires starting energy less than the output energy, so that we can get energy from it. But one of the biggest obstacles to nuclear fusion so far is the magnetic field. It is necessary to create a configuration with better strength and fineness so that the fluid can be confined, otherwise our existing materials cannot withstand such a high temperature environment.

Magnetic induction is measured by a unit called Tesla. The magnetic field of the large Hadron Collider acceleration magnet is approximately 8 Tesla. The ITER magnetic field used by the ITER will reach 13.5 Tesla. Such a strong magnetic field is common. There are also applications in the magnetic levitation field, but the standards used are obviously not as stringent as ITER reactors. Scientists use magnetic fields to constrain the behavior of high-temperature plasma toroids, and surround the coils to evenly distribute the magnetic field. These high-temperature substances can participate in nuclear fusion reactions under the constraint of magnetic fields. Such super machines are also called tokamaks and rely on magnetic fields. To confine the fusion material and the reaction of the ring container.

Currently, there are not many countries in the world that can manufacture tokamak devices. The United States, Japan, and Europe are leading in this regard. China has also built a superconducting tokamak device to verify the feasibility of using nuclear weapons for nuclear fusion. After the nuclear fusion device can be successfully developed, the world's energy problems can be greatly eased. In fact, nuclear fusion is the most common form of energy production in the universe. Without a controlled nuclear fusion technology, it cannot be called an intelligent civilization.
