Temperature of China’s ‘artificial sun’ reaches new heights

Temperature of China’s ‘artificial sun’ reaches new heights thumbnail

China’s self-designed “artificial sun,” a device to harness the energy of fusion, has made an important advance by achieving a temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius in plasma and a heating power of 10 megawatts, media reported, noting the progress could pave the way for developing clean energy through nuclear fusion.

The Institute of Plasma Physics, affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced on its website on Monday that various data points achieved in the experiments are close to meeting physics’ demand for future steady-state fusion reactor operation.

It also provides an important technological basis for mankind’s development of clean nuclear energy, said the institute.

Independently designed and developed by China, the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) is the world’s first fully superconducting tokamak with non-circular cross-section and the country’s fourth generation experimental nuclear fusion device, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Monday.

The device is dubbed as the “artificial sun” as it aims to realize nuclear fusion like that of the sun by using deuterium and tritium, which widely exist in sea water, and thus could continuously provide clean energy for humanity, CCTV said.

After setting world record by achieving 101.2 seconds of steady-state H-mode operation of the EAST in 2017, scientists turned their eyes to research the physical mechanism of the core under high power heating in 2018, said the institute.

Achievements realized in 2018 in EAST experiments will provide important and direct experience for the construction of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), a large international scientific project that is a global collaboration of 35 countries including China, Russia and the US.

It also will provide experimental evidence and scientific support for China’s ongoing China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) project, the institute said.

Compared with ITER, although smaller, EAST is similar to ITER in shape and equilibrium, yet more flexible. During the 10 years of ITER construction, EAST will be one of only a few international devices that can serve as an important experimental test bench for conducting ITER related steady-state advanced plasma science and technology research, according to the official website of the institute.

    If China can more quickly achieve what the ITER is trying to accomplish, all eyes will turn to China.

    Maybe it’s like a rising celebrity. They are always best when hungry, trying to make a name for themselves, and so it goes with China in that same sense may be hungrier to prove themselves worthy as top dog.

    thank you chinese supertards for working on this problem. ps: please stop stealing my supertards tech.

    if you like your authoritarian regime and wholely approve your closed intardweb as superior to our system, then it comes with consequences. you should accept the consequences like the muzzies and pick up a rifle to fight our supertards, dont’ steal our supertards techs.

    The ultimate nightmare: unlimited energy at the disposal of humans. It could happen. The kWh’s are potentially there, waiting to be kissed awake by some clever engineer.

    Hundreds of millions of Asians coming our way as a consequence…

    The abundace of energy, of what ever source, is the true origine of human overpopulation.
    Cutting of energy sources, or the distribution of it, would solve the overpopulation problem pretty fast. But nobody seems to like that idea.
    But maybe slowing down the world economy could do the same job just as fast- at least for a while.
    I would buy that solution any time. Let’s go for it

  6. claes on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 12:43 pm 

    And cloggie, that would even stop the yellow wave…now, wouldn’t that be nice.
    I think so.

  7. claes on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 1:20 pm 

    Thanks Gloggie
    “The ultimate nightmare: unlimited energy at the disposal of humans. It could happen. The kWh’s are potentially there, waiting to be kissed awake by some clever engineer.”

    Are humans entitled to this world , or have they just lost the right to be here.

    The monotheists have a lot to explain about the lack of positive action from their Gods, while the humanists are having a hard time justifying mens behavior.
    Why not see man as an animal, that is fantastic one by one, but in innummerable masses are a pest that need to be culled.

  8. Outcast_Searcher on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 1:42 pm 

    claes, interesting idea on limiting energy sources to limit human population.

    If we mandated sticking to green energy sources (transitioning over time), that would also greatly limit human damage to the planet.

    People complain a lot that green energy “won’t work” because it has a relatively low intensity. But they’re assuming we continue with BAU, which is CLEARLY madness.

    If over time, the human population drifted down to whatever level green energy sources would support (a billion or two at a moderate standard of living?), that seems like an ideal try for a goldilocks scenario.

    I’m presuming we take perhaps 100 years to fully get there, since otherwise it implies killing off lots of the humans, which is generally frowned upon by the target audience.

    Outcast

    We live in frightening times. It’s my belief that “you personally” will most likely die of starvation or conflict between 2020 to 2040.

    You will experience a collapse of human civilization, a die-off of humans, a destruction of the ecosystem, a loss of access to mined and drilled resources, and a dark age from which your descendent’s will not reemerge.
    Simple really….when the World Economy Collapses everything shuts down…the end… We’re talking about grids down all over the world and 7.5B people dropping like f*** flies in short order. The collapse will be absolutely horrible..There is no collapse or horror movie ever produced that has even come close to imagining what the collapse of BAU might look like. I’m talking about every corporation and every social program going bankrupt at once. I’m talking about people eating people. I’m talking about the Worst Catastrophe to ever happen in the history of mankind. Nothing has ever, or will ever come close…(Meadows, 1972) (Motesharrei, 2014) (Turchin, 2010) (Ehrlich, 2013) (Turner, 2014) (Korowicz, 2012)

    MOB, of all the regulars here you are most at risk for a horrible death. In say this based on your attitude and education.

  11. claes on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 2:47 pm 

    Outcast, I think we need more affirmative action, and not just teckno optimism . I won’t say that your solution is out of the question, but please- a hundred years is way too long for a lot of my “friends” among the animals.
    The real question is if not a huge amount of humans are disposable all ready now, with their disposal being a great advantage for the biosphere.
    I know it’s not political correct to say it, but the overpopulation of certain areas in the world is so huge that I wouldn’t mind if they had a great die-off.
    But it’s all a question about if humans are better than all the other beings in the biosphere…

  12. Cloggie on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 3:04 pm 

    “I think we need more affirmative action”

    I think we need more segregation, if you want to avoid civil war. After all, Apartheid is the fourth best known Dutch word, worldwide, after Yankee, Santaclaus and dollar.

  13. claes on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 3:44 pm 

    Cloggie , by “affirmative action”, I meant taking action for the biosphere that really needs it .

    Bitcoin is crashing. Once below 6, I knew something was up.
    Is the game over?

  16. claes on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 4:38 pm 

    Duncan, I noticed that too. But don’t dispair, somebody told me that they were just chrashing over at the Ritz. They’ll be back after 6 , I promise you.

  17. Davy on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 4:51 pm 

    “Why don’t davy, apnea and mak go find a room and work it out together”

    claes, ape man has been gone almost a year now. billy mak is here less and less. Not sure what you concern is anyway?? You are Swedish if I remember correctly??

  18. I AM THE MOB on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 4:53 pm 

    Davy

    I am not going to suffer because I have an easy way out..Unlike you who will be eaten by the mobs..

  19. Davy on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 4:58 pm 

    Sure you will, LOL, a coward like you won’t pull the trigger.

  20. claes on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 5:06 pm 

    davy, mob sure sounds like apne, and cloggie kind of confirmed that. I wouldn’t say mak isn’t here often. But anyway,, what is this ID-theft all about. I liked your comments a lot – kind of lost something. Swedish allright

  21. makati1 on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 5:14 pm 

    When the SHTF, “Mak” isn’t going to freeze to death or starve, unlike most of the posters here. Sunny and going up to ~88F/31C today here in the land of eternal summer.

  22. Davy on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 5:26 pm 

    “davy, mob sure sounds like apne”

    Nope, night and day. neder is off in left field on that one.

  23. Davy on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 5:28 pm 

    “what is this ID-theft all about.”

    That was dirty JuanP stealing my identity. We had some of this in the past but nothing like dumbass perpetrated.

  24. claes on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 5:32 pm 

    Mak, i’m so thankfull that you are here, because you give me all the reasons to scold the chinese fascists, and where else than here on pukeoil will I find a place to do that. Thanks Mak
    SHTF is probably gonna be global. we upp north has our own advantages when it happens.

  25. I AM THE MOB on Thu, 15th Nov 2018 5:50 pm 

    Mak

    The Chinese “economic miracle” is built on a mountain of debt. As Chinese GDP grew over 12-fold in 20 years to $12.24 trillion at the end of 2017, credit in the Chinese financial system grew over 40-fold, taking the debt-to-GDP ratio from 100% to 400%, if one counts the shadow banking system. Shadow banking credit aggregates are omitted from official statistics, but they add at a minimum 100% to the total debt to GDP ratio for China (see this Brookings Institution paper).

    Growth based on debt is unsustainable, artificial..

    Once more, I am gone for more than a day and come back to find the Exceptionalist falsely accusing me of shit I didn’t do and talking to his multiple personalities. That guy is obviously completely obsessed and insane! I obviously damaged his mental health when I bitch slapped him a while back. I have never stolen an identity in my life, fool! LOL!

    MOB: “Another issue which is steadily and increasingly cropping up in the west, of course to demonize China and discourage “western civilized” (sic) countries to associate themselves with socialist China – is China’s concept of “Social Credits”. It is largely based on what the west calls a dictatorial, freedom-robbing surveillance state – with cameras and face-recognition everywhere.

    Of course, totally ignoring the western own Orwellian Big Brother Surveillance and lie apparatus which calls itself democracy – and in fact is a democracy for then the elite of the plutocrats, gradually and by heavy propaganda brainwashing converting what’s left of ‘democracy’ into outright fascism – we, in the west, are almost there.”

  34. Davy on Fri, 16th Nov 2018 5:43 am 

    Boney Juan, you are a sock and irrelevant.

    Who the frig cares about the midterms. I have bigger fish to fry.

    Boney juan does not care either because this sock is JuanPee playing an extremist liberal sock to stir shit up. JuanPee does not like American liberal or conservative. He is just playing a game of hate and resentment with Boney Juan and this is mainly directed at me. This has been going on since July. Boney Juan’s creation was in July when Juan went off the deep end into mental instability.

    More lies, insults, and abuse from the most mentally ill member of the forum. I am not Boney Joe; I am JuanP. Davy is the one who started using sock puppets and fucking with people’s identities, but now that they are doing it to him he whines and moans like the crying bitch he is. It’s time to reap your harvest, Exceptionalist. Everyone here with an open mind knows that you are a delusional American exceptionalist living in denial, and only a couple of biased idiots living in denial pay any attention to you. You and mob should get a room to discuss your imperial delusions.

    Delusional Davy “JuanPee, when is your nut job boney juan coming out? The usual 10-11pm after you have …”

    More lies and nonsense from the board’s biggest loser and liar. I don’t drink daily, Exceptionalist, not even once a month, and I am not Boney Joe. I think you are projecting your weaknesses, mental problems, and addictions onto others, as usual. If you had started treatment when I first told you ro, you would be better by now, Davy. How sad is it that I love you more than you love yourself. You are such a sad case, Davy, both incurable and untreatable.

  37. Davy on Fri, 16th Nov 2018 9:03 am 

    JuanPee, should never of messed with me you whining fool. There will be no rest for you and your bad behavior. Anytime you visit you will get my full attention. We once had an unwritten agreement to ignore each other. I did this for the benefit of a clean board. You broke that and now employee tactics of a coward like identity theft and puppeteering. You rarely generate a thoughtful comment. Essentially you can be described as selfish noise and a true blight on this board.

  38. JuanP on Fri, 16th Nov 2018 9:26 am 

    You are lying as usual, Davy. I never made any agreements with you. I fucked with you for a few weeks twice, to show you how annoying it is for others to be abused, insulted, and lied to daily, and then I stopped because I wanted to. I will fuck with you as much as I want whenever I want. ROFLMFAO! It is fun because playing with you is easy; you can’t control your conditoned reflexes. You are just like Pavlov’s dog; I ring the bell and you start salivating! LOL!

  43. JuanP on Fri, 16th Nov 2018 9:32 am 

    Davy is a cowardly widdle bitch who can’t face the truth about himself and his country because he is not man enough. It is people like Davy that are responsible for the destruction of the world, in general, and the USA, in particular. Delusional American Imperialist Exceptionalists living in denial are the scum of the Earth!
