ITER by drone - late 2023 (subtitle version)

Follow the drone as it flies in and around the main buildings of the ITER scientific installation to show you what has been happening on the worksite since the last time we published a drone video (May 2023). • ITER by drone - latest...

[@jdijkstra8115]

This has to be one of the most ambitious, most exciting, most incredible project of human kind of this decade. Forget mars, we can bottle a star!

[@thesprinklerguy2598]

Sucks it takes a dozen countries to even prove the concept... we spend 22 billion in a blink of an eye but won't lead the way on fusion. Wind and solar is not the way but fission and fusion is.. I just wish more people/countries would understand how clean even fission is compared to solar.. the advancements that could have been made is sickening to know.

[@MisFakapek]

@@thesprinklerguy2598 ignorance is part of human nature. Fear will always win in societal debate, mistrust will prevail within masses if something is not "normal". Progress is always an uphill battle.

[@RedPixel2023]

you are mistaken my friend, putting people off planet to a nearby body like mars is equally important as this. imagine getting swiped with a metoer impact or anything that resembles a mankind wiping event will give humans a surviving chance than having only one rock foothold. but i agree with, sunpower on earth is going to revoltionize energy source for human plus quantum computing, AI, EV, space exploration..exotic materials, these are stuff of Star Trek that is now slowly in our reach. If we survived an extinction level event we might just get lucky and go beyond a type 1 civilixation...i pray. AMEN!

[@phenomagator]

Incredibly exciting! Engineering marvels like ITER act as inspiration to all the many scientifically-minded people on Earth. The march of progress continues.

I legit saw the picture of this project in the back cover of class 12th physics NCERT part 1 book and read about it in the NCERT books Page 0 only and then searched it on KZbin and it's hella fascinating 😮😮❤❤

ITER media team PLEASE put a link or name of the songs you use in your future videos in the description tag on youtube. Or bake it into credits at the end of the video. You're not obligated to do so, but it honors the people who made the music

Amazing ITER is so incredibly great

there is Iter and Hinkley point C.. Two megamoth projects!!

[@explosion1972]

amazing... would like to work at the iter someday.

[@Arcticmystery]

Amazing, well done!

[@americangamer1632]

Nice to see most components are made and there, hopefully operation doesn't put too much stress and make repairs too constant

[@maxmn5821]

Never mind setbacks, it’s just like in any large project. Never mind €, the science results about this very promising energy source are worth it.

[@emmanueljimenezsilva5265]

[@Erik-rp1hi]

I'm not up to speed on the pressure vessel repair. I read awhile back that cracks in the weldment were found. What is the solution that was found to be adequate?

[@FredericBalayssac]

Super merci

[@OutThere5]

Been following this for a decade. Exciting to see it near completion! Edit: an update that I seen last year showed them putting part of the tokamak together. But, in this video, looks like they have removed them parts for repair

[@OptimisticHominid]

I love the video, however, the music used in the 'ITER by drone - latest update' was much more pleasing to the ears and also a better match to the awe of this project. All the best from an engineer who worked for years on JET.

[@Ogami79]

I still remember when half of this project was still on a white board!!

[@DaveBoxBG]

Guys put deadlines for all tasks this way project will go faster.

[@OptimisticHominid]

I'm pretty sure they do have deadlines and do their best to hit those deadline, but shit happens!

[@SgtNantz]

When will all the components be integrated?

C’est beau ! Par contre , même si c’est pour ITER , le telepilote de drone ne peux pas s’affranchir des 120m de hauteur par rapport au sol … bien dépasser à plusieurs reprises 😅

[@sebj1963]

J'ai pas vu d'altimètre sur la vidéo, le type de caméra joue aussi sur la vision, un capteur large donne une impression de profondeur donc de distance, je ne serais pas aussi formel que votre commentaire...

[@paulvarn4712]

Too big, too long, too costly while other experiments are breaking plasma records. The maintenance and repair costs are unimaginable.

[@OptimisticHominid]

But can they be scaled up? Perhaps, and perhaps not. The pre-ITER model, JET, just outside Oxford, has been operating for decades, steadily progressing to produce more fusion, achieving 59 megajoules in February 2022.

[@OptimisticHominid]

why somes pieces has to be repair?

[@io9883]

La vitesse de construction est trop lente et a été retardée de plus de dix ans. C'est un échec total. Tous les obstacles bureaucratiques et procéduraux doivent être éliminés et la construction doit être réalisée 24 heures sur 24.

[@OptimisticHominid]

I worked on the JET machine that came before ITER - it had cost overruns, took longer than originally planned, and it had numerous setbacks. It was however finished. It exceeded it's original goals, created fusion, and we learned a lot, not least that with a positive mindset, our species can achieve what some believe is impossible.

[@user-xq9xt7ou1u]

Expect construction until 2028, and then research lasting 50 years

[@seejjordan]

25 tonnes of helium?

[@OptimisticHominid]

It'll be in liquid form.

[@AntoineLenoir3]

Helium weight 0.2 kilograms/cubic meter, nothing surprising in this sentence it's not because it's lighter than air that it has a negative weight

[@LavieduMiel]

ha la france ou plus rien n'est possible... 30 ans de retard et 10 fois le prix. Pas mal... allez y faite marrer le monde entier !

[@franknord4826]

The dismal amount of views and likes on this is a fucking atrocity. Far as my two cents go, ITER is humanities single most important project right now - a true world saver if it pans out.

[@slo3337]

Looks like they have slowed to a crawl in finishing this up. Who knows if it will even work. Not surprised people are losing interest.

[@pavelpolyakov1266]

ОБХСС на вас не хватает. Одни красивые картинки и пустые обещания.

[@scupking]

Crazy to think that this project started in 1988... It won't fully be operational until around 2035.. 47 years from design to completion, with a cost estimate of around 65 billion dollars and it can only run for 8 minutes... That is one hell of an expensive experiment..

[@owensmith7530]

It will run in about 50 years at this rate.

[@OptimisticHominid]

Much sooner than that. If all goes to plan, in 2035, ITER will seek to generate about 500 MW over 300 seconds.

[@x0myspace0x]

@@OptimisticHominid Key word on 'if'. Last I heard, the project was supposed to be up and running in 2025. I'm still hopeful, but there will likely be more delays.
