The making of the ITER toroidal field coils

[@Erik-rp1hi]

The Japanese engineer quote, "Big thick welding, big fight", I can imagine, I'm a metal fabricator too.

[@CausticLemons7]

In Japan, welder. Number one. Steady hand. One day, ITER boss need new coils. I do operation...

[@Gersberms]

What an impressive and awe-inspiring operation! I really hope it will produce the expected triple product results, the world sure needs this giant milestone!

[@MoritzvonSchweinitz]

Is this the most efficient way of building these things? Of course not! But just imagine all the know-how and R&D that gets spread all across the globe because of international collaborations like these! It's beautiful to hear so many different accents of people working on this huge project!

[@leosmi1]

You are right. I think fusion energy will not be achieve soon (at least in the next 50 years). So, the R&D and all the technology created and optimized will accelerate other fields.

[@Erik-rp1hi]

This video should had been 90 minutes long to get a good feel of the magnitude of the endeavor. I've watch other posted video's on this but new content is always welcome.

[@WernerEngel1]

Thank you Alex for contributing to this video - although Austria did not manufacture one of the coils, at least we contributed through you ;-)

[@drbytes68]

this is truly awesome work and brilliant engineering. Everything learned here will impact future manufacturing and advance the field.

[@jeff119990]

i cant wait for all this hard work to be complete and we can see it working.

[@TechMasterRus]

Funny that previous version got banned by some "copyright claims". This way we'll never achieve significant progress as humanity

[@heardistance]

Congratulation on this big achievement! Cant wait untill first plasma! As humanity we need this, we need to work together!

[@morkovija]

exactly what i wanted from iter youtube! thank you!)

[@KGAnims]

This here is my sanctuary. Far away from wars, lies, and other shit in the world - i love to see how someone at least is making a progress for humanity.

[@Frrk]

Magnificent work! Phenomenal efforts on display here.

[@adrienmorla3404]

Congratulations everybody ! Keep on the good work boys and girls of science !!!

[@roccosfondo8748]

I hope you will succeed in making a feasible reactor guys. I really hope.

[@weimullerjohann9118]

Meine bescheidene Frage : soll das eine Supraleiterspule werden oder ist das ein total gekapselter Hochfrequenzgenerator mit Koaxkabelresonator mit gleichförmiger Innen - Querschnittsfrequenz als Einzelteil ? also der aktive Frequenzgeneratorzusatz im Nebenraum ? oder abgestimmter Wandlertrafo ? Die kennt doch auch jeder Elektrotechniker. 3:42 Wh. sind möglicherweise ? die Bilder durcheinandergekommen, aber von der Zuordnung vieleicht gedanklich gelöst.

[@goodfodder]

Shows us just how massive and complex iter is

[@benfowler1134]

Please check your subtitles.

[@hundredfireify]

They're automated captions produced by youtube. It's unfortunate that the ITER channel manager doesn't produce the subtitles, as it can help hearing-impaired viewers a lot

[@alexsolosm]

See, when the different countries come together to work towards the future, great things can be achieved! Stop fighting with one another! Stop the silly trade wars!

[@ptonpc]

Congratulations!

[@johnstone7092]

: D, Almost 20 years wating for this, lets see the day the turn it on.

[@JYF921]

good luck we need this thing

[@CarmeloVazzanaAudiovisivi]

Please, get a better videomaker. I'm begging you.

[@_jb_3441]

I really worry that by the time this project will be operation ready the technology in it is going to be practically ancient.

[@404Negative]

офигеть они реально его строят. я думал просто бабло попилят и забудут

[@quantum_beeb]

Where tf is this sort of facility in La Spezia? Haha. It’s on the side of a mountain and ocean

[@Myrashi4ek228]

Who from PWGood?

[@northstar7694]

yeah! Only 20 yrs to go.

[@manivardhan7588]

why India is not part of this?

[@Raj-gr6dy]

Wasn't in the agreement, India made the cryostat

[@MrGangaroots]

Pancakes mmmhhh 🤤

[@Norantio]

Just read this won't get turned on until 2034 now. I have high hopes for this, but idk if the planet can wait for you. Hurry up.

[@joebrewer5990]

What happens if a magnet fails lol

[@ronnetgrazer362]

Auto subtitles, really? As if the non native narration isn't punishment enough.

[@ronnetgrazer362]

You have the transcript already, i mean jfc

[@Urufu-san]

Point proven: Physicists are weak in languages. - And most people who are good at languages, suck at maths and physics 🙈😂

[@ВгостяхуСантаса]

Одни и теже видосы. Ничего новенького. Стройка продвигается с черепашьими темпами. Французы очень медленные. Не хотят работать.

[@efari]

I understand that this is a worldwide project with many great countries working together. So please choose your presenters better, so that they can pronounce English better, so everyone can understand clearly what you’re trying to say.

[@alexsolosm]

You must be american. Only americans would nitpick on their accents. Maybe travel the world more, you'll learn how to listen carefully and understand what they are speaking. Otherwise, just turn on the subtitles. English is my first language, and I could understand them just fine.

[@efari]

@@alexsolosm that’s the problem, for people who have English as their first language, yes it’s should be easy to understand to understand. But no, I’m not a native English speaker, and for non-English natives it can already be difficult enough to understand perfect English, let alone non-perfect (accented) English. And, (as I mentioned earlier) since this is a worldwide project, you’ll have a lot of worldwide (non-English native) viewers. Also KZbin even has trouble auto-generating the subs.Even at the first sentence it’s already plenty wrong.

[@alanblyde8502]

Yeh that’s why they’re got Ai

[@kevalvichare4759]

Whats ths contribution given by india 🇮🇳 ? Nothing or something.

[@miles2378]

I believe India built parts of the vacuum vessel/cryostat.

[@ptonpc]

Read about it on the website.

[@shanent5793]

Just pick one language and standardize it, like you did with the metric system.

[@TechMasterRus]

It seems too much effort goes into creation of this enormous thing which is actually a technology demo and will never produce electricity. We haven't yet reached the necessary level to really use fusion for our needs.

[@roanv]

And how do you imagine humanity would ever reach that necessary level without research installations like ITER?

[@room5245]

First plane instantly flew across the Atlantic. Think before speaking nerd

[@TechMasterRus]

@@roanv I'm just saying how far away we are from practical use of fusion. Building fusion power plant may be harder and more time consuming than visiting the Moon next time after the last Apollo.

[@TechMasterRus]

@@room5245 Try to read the words written next time. BTW, a good example. The first flying plane was made by 2 people in 5-8 years. And trans-Atlantic passenger flights really began in ~40 years after that. ITER is still going since 1980-s and is made by cooperation of all world leading countries. It's going to be finished in 2035 (as for now), so at least 50 years of world's most advanced effort.

[@drcrankenstein]

On a global scale, I'd say we don't put near enough resources and effort toward important projects like this. Last I checked, the budget for ITER was about 22 billion. In contrast, Apple computer made over 400 billion last year alone. Way more effort and resources go into making sure morons can send memes on smart phones than into fusion research.

[@Benoit-Pierre]

Showing many people worked on it, doing international politics, diluting interesting peaces of info in music ... Not for me

[@IK-wc4od]

The greatest waste of money in human history
