I knew that 'ITER' was something French that it had to do with reactors, so I clicked. How I learned that had nothing to do with nightly new or even the *New York Times.* Most people are idiots and classic media are of little use.The *University of Nottingham* has a professor who does videos on all the elements while his team runs mini experiments. In order to get videos like this suggested, people have to feed the algos by asking really basic physics and chemistry questions. I was lightly researching thorium and 'smallest nuclear reactors', then these came along.

[@stanleysiewierski]

I want to understand something! When you need 150 million degrees Celsius to sustain fusion with deuterium and tritium. The amount of fuel in the plasma stream must be extremely small, perhaps in the order of several atoms thick...correct? Also, is ignition of this fuel on and off in brief microseconds so that this tokomak structure will be able to sustain the enormous heat, pressure and radiation? I have many questions about feasibility, sometimes I think about the Argentine fiasco with fusion back in the 1950's.

[@alexhaplau-colan5414]

You understand right, nobody tells us how you contain 150 million C photons, how this is possible, you say cooling, fine, cooling, cooling over some few inchies of some metal, the gradients will be bigger than my calculator can calculate Let's say it will work, it will not work the Sun doesn't function with magnets, it function with gravity, anyway , point is the thermal pollution will be hundreds of times bigger than today's, this machine has a very small efficiency Open a furnace at 2000C and you'll be burnt instantly, radiation, photonic radiation, imagine radiation at 150 millions C, photons cannot be contain with magnets, or with anything else I would be interested if somebody shows us how we solve this, not to mention many other things, the inherent instability of the plasma, what happens if the magnet looses power, let say, you can solve all these, but never the photonic radiation, thank you, good night

First we need to figure out how we get more power out of a nuclear fusion reactor than what we put in. That's the key goal of ITER, to achieve net positive power output from a controlled fusion reaction, something that no previous fusion reactor has been able to achieve thus far. We still don't know if fusion is even theoretically possible here on Earth, that's what ITER is trying to find out.

With a little luck, this will be the main source of energy from the SECOND HALF of this century. The first half all we will do is theorize, experiment and improve, moving closer and closer to an energy and economically viable form of fusion. Fun fact: this facility will not produce electricity. It's exclusively a fusion test lab. Producing electricity is completely irrelevant. Once heat is generated, the process of producing electricity is always the same (heat heats water, generates pressurized steam, moves a turbine, which moves a generator obtaining electrical energy through electromagnetic induction). All the heat generated will be sent to the environment.

[@ukkomies100]

but how is the energy harvested

[@nr.1-Prime]
