- Watch how a first-of-its-kind superconducting magnet at the center of the ITER tokamak will induce a current in the plasma and help make fusion happen. US ITER, located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is contributing the unique magnet to the international ITER project.

Very exciting! Nuclear energy has had a rough history, but I look forward to ITER's success. Here's hoping this is the powerful, clean energy supply we keep hearing it is.
Amazing scale and engineering
may the power be with human being
What's the projected date for powering up?
2025
hey nice tokamak hope it works. but before you test it please send me a ring of jello contaned by tight rubber bands. Then you will be ready to run that thing. they both behave the same way. (your temp is developing the wrong way. frozen jello works ;,)

The human heart
1000 years from now these may be small enough to power internal life support indefinitely
After the success of the Livermore experiment l have extreme doubts that the tokamak design will work as expected if at all .
There’s reason fusion only happens in stars. The mass needed is insane

More than 35 years waiting for Fusion Power. When is enough to suspect that currant theories are wrong? This is just like looking for Dark Energy and Dark Matter.
Nuclear fusion is a fact. It's already happening in several reactors (and in the sun). It's simply an engineering challenge to use it to generate energy; the physics is largely solved.
It's nothing like dark matter/energy, where the physical mechanisms controlling the phenomena are still unknown.
@@idanbhk3875 Please then provide with links and peer review papers. Good luck because 1986 we were told we would have Fusion power reactor up and running. I was one that believed in it but over time and money with failed results tells me something is wrong. I really would like to know how you can prove how the Sun is Fusion power at its core when you know its imposable. It only took 27 months for the development of the Nuclear bomb. Its now over 80 years for Fusion with No sustained results resulting in more energy out then put in.
Fusion isn’t happening in any reactors numb nuts, it requires alot of mass to create the stability needed to work. This won’t work the scale is millions times to small.
Nobody doubts that iter will overcome breakeven.
But that is impractical way.
Low beta - about 2.5%, while fusion power is proportional to beta^2.
DT reaction is most easy to realise. But high flux 1-2 MW/m^2 of high energy 14.1 MeV neutrons will quickly damage first wall.
To imagine how costly is a first wall of vacuum chamber let's only to get its weight - more than 5,000 tons.
Only aneurronic reaction may have a future.
And today's tokamaks - even sofisticated ITER are a wrong way.
Today's tokamak programs are a competition of collateral technologies - remote handling of plasma faced components at JET, high temperature superconductors REBCO at newest american tokamak, etc.
But beta is remains at around 2.5%.
Because of it reactors should be so monstrous
Mini sun? Misinformation. This is not the sun. It tries to replicate a process that happens on the sun but its not a sun.
What? They're using an analogy my dude. . .
