@interestingengineering: China has fired up the world's largest superconducting magnet for nuclear fusion. Built for the CRAFT "artificial sun" project in Hefei, the toroidal-field coil weighs 582 tonnes, stores three times the energy of the equivalent magnet at the international ITER reactor, and is designed to trap a plasma hotter than 100 million degrees Celsius. Every critical part was made in China. #China #NuclearFusion #ArtificialSun #CRAFT #FusionEnergy #SuperconductingMagnet

Jason Bogan :

And this is why we hate Communism? Wake up Americans!

Nard :

artificial sun you say?

Africa Ascension :

I don't know, the real sun seems to be powerful enough to power everything. Do we need this?

Tekken2 :

So it still turns water to steam but cost billions.. it’s not self sustaining.

Kgomotšo_Ramafalo :

"but at what cost"

Mang Juan :

artificial sun for boiling water to steam 😅

Dave Fisher :

Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!

Stephan :

This is what happens when you invest in education, science and, consequently, the future.

rab 🇵🇭🇶🇦 :

I don't know but maybe, there are things that shouldn't be invented? 😅

cragtoe :

dont worry its Temu quality

n3uro_nomad :

What could possibly go wrong

sparks :

reactor is a connected a successfully

fireblade3265 :

Absolutely incredible and this actually shows the humans are so clever that we will invent our way into a cleaner cheaper more efficient future if we just invest we need cheap energy and we need cheap energy now 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Rrrr :

Dr. Otto Octavius will be so proud

jakamungous :

absolutely amazing

Morten Palm :

Scary, and also very impressive!

Mojo🧸 :

Flan Damage :

There's a Nokia 3210 at the centre

Fedeb.88 :

🐼😎

Angelus_Damiano :

Anybody else thinking it looks like a Warp Core? 😂

PMus :

it pays to control rare earth's and magnets produced

Noirshifter :

jimbo_gives_no_effs :

The sun was probably the last planet people lived on who tried this 🤣

Oliver Coppen :

But Trump says nobody knows what magnets are!
