[QUOTE="Brianwill, post: 726, member: 15"] A look at the technologies of the future today. Last week, the world's newest and largest fusion reactor, the JT-60SA, was launched in Japan. This reactor uses magnetic fields from superconducting coils to trap ionized gas in a doughnut-shaped vacuum chamber, in order to stimulate the fusion of hydrogen nuclei and release energy. The machine, which is four stories high, is capable of holding plasma heated to 200 million degrees Celsius for about 100 seconds. "This success proves to the world that the reactor is fulfilling its core function," said Sam Davis, project manager at Fusion for Energy. However, it will take another two years for JT-60SA to start producing the plasma needed for physics experiments. JT-60SA will support ITER, the largest international fusion reactor under construction in France. In turn, ITER will rely on technologies and operational experience that will be tested on the JT-60SA. The 15.5-meter-high JT-60SA reactor is half the size of the ITER.
