Title: China's 'artificial sun' nuclear fusion reactor sets new world record Post by: lester1/2jr on June 02, 2021, 11:13:21 PM (https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/06/02/09/43732115-9643419-image-a-31_1622622913016.jpg)
New record: China's 'artificial sun' nuclear fusion reactor ran at 216 million degrees Fahrenheit (120million°C) for 100 seconds. Its previous record was 180 million°F for 100 seconds How it works: This graphic shows the inside of a nuclear fusion reactor and explains the process by which power is produced. At its heart is the tokamak, a device that uses a powerful magnetic field to confine the hydrogen isotopes into a spherical shape, similar to a cored apple, as they are heated by microwaves into a plasma to produce fusion https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9643419/Chinas-artificial-sun-sets-new-world-record-running-216MILLION-F-100-seconds.html (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-9643419/Chinas-artificial-sun-sets-new-world-record-running-216MILLION-F-100-seconds.html) It also achieved a peak temperature of 288million°F – more than ten times hotter than the sun" Title: Re: China's 'artificial sun' nuclear fusion reactor sets new world record Post by: zelmo73 on June 02, 2021, 11:54:23 PM Boy, just imagine the meltdown of that sucker! It would make Chernobyl look like that time that the tide washed away your sand castle. :buggedout:
