TWITTER REDDIT nuclear fusion to generate clean energy as much as 10 suns!

China recently completed the construction of this reactor and the operations for the same are expected to commence starting 2020, according to Xinhua News.


China's artificial sun is dubbed HL-2M and it was constructed by China National Nuclear Corporation in collaboration with Southwestern Institute of Physics. It is installed at Leshan, Sichuan province.

When fully active, the reactor is capable of reaching temperatures 13 times hotter than our sun -- approximately 200 million degrees celsius. Our sun maxes out at 15 million degrees celsius.



The reason it gets so hot is because the reactor conducts nuclear fusion reactions. In case you didn't know, nuclear fusion forces atoms to fuse together and in this process, a ton of heat is generated. Nuclear plants on earth have always used fission to generate energy -- it is when heat is generated by splitting atoms. Nuclear fusion actually happens on the sun and that's what is going to be recreated by China's HL-2M.

How the HL-2M functions is rather simple, so to say. The structure of the reactor is similar to a doughnut. The chamber is called a 'tokamak'. It uses hydrogen and deuterium gas as fuel to start the fusion reaction and recreate what actually happens on the sun, just a whole lot hotter. The reaction produces plasma.

HL-2M is a part of China's participation in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) based in France. ITER is as of now world's largest nuclear fusion project amounting to a whopping 20 billion Euros. Along with China, 34 countries have also participated to be a part of it and it is expected to complete in the year 2025.

Hope it works

That's one way to wipe out the debt to China.

is this thing a fake sun just generating heat or does it generate gravity too because its a fukking ARTIFICIAL STAR!!!

if this thing in theory collapses on itself and is turns into a black hole???!!!

Ive heard talk about nook fusion technogy about how they are safer, cleaner, than nook fission technology, and can't produce weapons (supposedly).

Hope it works, but yeah...I guess we dont really know what happens if there is an accident

Create a mega-star, brehs

However, at this point nook fission has already devastated the earth and health for damn near 80 years, with Fukushima polluting the entire Pacific Ocean being the most recent, so honestly, outside of forming a black hole, fusion cant be much worse than fission.

Actually I spoke to scientific grant writer and she said this is being done in america as well, but of course that cant control it.....yet

Between that supercollider (CERN) in Europe and this...I must say we are definitely fukked as all hell if something goes wrong with that.

Mankind is good at creating its own demise.

This times a million you could see it from Europe.... don't say they haven't been warned... I'm surprised the United states govt hasnt developed a similar energy source somewhere...
