Un million d'éléments, dix millions de pièces - à la rencontre du tokamak ITER. (iter.org)
Our recent experiments indicate that the newly tested pellet injection technique can be applied at pellet repetition rates approaching what ITER needs and without harmful effects," said Larry Baylor, a plasma physicist and engineer at ORNL's Fusion Energy Division, who led the collaboration of researchers from General Atomics, the ITER Organization, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of California San Diego.

In southern France, the EU, China, India, Japan, Korea, the Russian Federation and the United States, are collaborating to build the world's largest tokamak, ITER, a magnetic fusion device that has been designed to prove the feasibility of fusion as a large-scale and carbon-free source of energy. (burningplasma.org)
It will then provide an outline the ITER Research Plan (IRP), showing how the tokamak will be brought into operation and how the operation range will be systematically expanded in stages, towards the ITER project goals. (burningplasma.org)
The world's largest ever magnetic fusion machine, Iter, is under construction in the south of France and many experts think it will have the scale needed to reach net energy gain. (hateblo.jp)
Harnessing fusion's power is the goal of ITER, which has been designed as the key experimental step between today's fusion research machines and tomorrow's fusion power plants. (emc2fails.com)
There are significant differences between stellarators and the tokamak design used for ITER, but in both approaches the idea is to hold the plasma in place long enough to get significantly more fusion energy out than was necessary to confine and heat the plasma. (helian.net)
In France, a group of physicists - including Nobel prize winner Georges Charpak - have written a letter to the press calling Iter a catastrophe and arguing that it should be shut down. (wiseinternational.org)
Among physicists2
Goldston was among physicists who recently presented aspects of the model at the 20th Annual International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Aachen, Germany. (princeton.edu)
Tonomura was best known for developing electron holography for observing microscopic structures in matter using the wave nature of electrons and confirming the so-called Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect, the existence of which had long been disputed among physicists. (ieeecsc.org)
Particle physicists6
They weigh atoms and deliver atomic mass values which the particle physicists embrace wholeheartedly. (emc2fails.com)
The Higgs was the last good prediction that particle physicists had. (blogspot.com)
But it does not matter whether you believe (or even understand) my arguments, you only have to look at the data to see that particle physicists' predictions for physics beyond the standard model have, in fact, not worked for more than 30 years. (blogspot.com)
Fact is, particle physicists have predicted dark matter particles since the mid-1980s. (blogspot.com)
Fact is, particle physicists predicted grand unified theories starting also in the 1980s. (blogspot.com)
Particle physicists had a good case to build the LHC with the prediction of the Higgs-boson. (blogspot.com)
Magnetic7
He is best known for his role in taking a critical measurement on the T-3 device in the USSR in 1969 that established the tokamak as the primary magnetic fusion energy device to this day. (wikipedia.org)
These experiments led to a better understanding of the theoretical nature of the problem, which in turn led to major work by John Bryan Taylor on a general theory of high-current electric discharges in magnetic fields. (wikipedia.org)
What's stunning is how closely the values correspond to the data, both in absolute value and in variation with the plasma current, magnetic field, machine size and input power," Goldston said. (princeton.edu)
The tokamak , a type of magnetic confinement fusion device, was proposed by Soviet scientists Andrei Sakharov and Igor Tamm . (wikimili.com)
Many recent advances have been made with a different type of fusion device, the tokamak: a doughnut-shaped machine that uses a tube of magnetic fields to confine its fuel for as long as possible. (hateblo.jp)
The UK-based Joint European Torus (Jet), which holds the current magnetic fusion record for power of 67%, is about to attempt to produce the largest total amount of energy of any fusion machine in history. (hateblo.jp)
Physicists have developed compounds that can 'record' the direction of the last magnetic field they have experienced. (evolving-science.com)
SPARC2
Currently, Dr. Granetz is also part of a privately funded program at MIT to incorporate high-temperature superconductors into high field magnets for use in the SPARC tokamak, as well as future tokamak and stellarator reactors. (mpg.de)
Whyte also serves as the primary investigator in collaborative research with CFS on SPARC, a proof-of-concept fusion platform for advancing tokamak science that is scheduled for completion in 2025. (eco-news.space)
Deuterium3
Physicists use deuterium, a form of hydrogen, to block the heat, and are injecting nitrogen to turn other parts of the heat into ultraviolet light. (princeton.edu)
Using a cryogenic deuterium pellet injector installed on the DIII-D Tokamak operated by General Atomics in San Diego, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers and collaborators were able to fire millimetre-sized frozen deuterium pellets into ultra-hot plasma at a rate of 60 times per second. (iter.org)
The deuterium-tritium, or DT, reaction will remain the only feasible one for both stellarator and tokamak fusion reactors for the foreseeable future. (helian.net)

(aps.org)
it may be our "bad" nuclear physics that is the cause that our tokamak fusion reactors (to produce unlimited clean fusion energy from water) deliver only "news" and not any tangible results - news and more news - despite 7 decades and billions of dollars spent. (emc2fails.com)
They also needed AEC licensing, and components that were either just becoming available or that had to be hand assembled by talented technicians and engineers, guided by knowledgeable, physicists trained in the new field of nuclear physics. (fusor.net)
Temperature1
the machine appeared to reach 5 million degrees, hot enough to be generating fusion at a low rate, within an order of two of the number of neutrons one would expect to generate at that temperature. (wikipedia.org)
Magnets2
In configuration, the tokamak is largely identical to the z-pinch devices like ZETA, consisting of a ring of magnets surrounding a toroidal vacuum tube, with a large transformer used to induce current into the plasma. (wikipedia.org)
ZETA's field was generated almost entirely by the transformer current, while the tokamak used more powerful ring magnets to balance the two more closely. (wikipedia.org)

The analysis of Sakharov's plural works and deeds shows that his method in science, in designing nuclear weapons, in defending human rights, in manufacturing world security was one and the same: he always remained a man of exact sciences, a physicist, a construction engineer, an implementor. (sakharov-center.ru)
Plasma7
As the nature of these problems became clear, the ZETA team turned from attempting fusion to developing dramatically improved diagnostic tools for characterizing the plasma. (wikipedia.org)
Looking at the latest scrape-off layer data based on improved measurements, he estimated - literally on an envelope - that the new widths could be produced without plasma turbulence, a factor that is typically considered but is notoriously difficult to calculate. (princeton.edu)
The team has demonstrated that it is possible to decrease the intensity of the periodic plasma edge disturbances, known as edge localized modes (ELMs), by a factor of 10 by injecting small pellets at a 10 times higher frequency than the ELMs naturally occur in the plasma, Baylor said in an interview. (iter.org)
That is in some sense similar to what happens to a tokamak plasma on its outer edge, its boundary," Baylor explained. (iter.org)

While these blog posts, written over a few vacations and weekends by a more modest intellect, don't begin to approach MacKay's standard of excellence, I do hope that they can serve as a breadcrumb trail through the literature that may help others to apply this spirit to a broader set of climate-relevant engineering problems.
