Ships of the Future: The Coming Revolution in the Shipping Industry: • Ships of the Future: T...
An engineering revolution is underway. Driven by dedicated individuals who are building extraordinary machines that will change our lives.
It is the greatest technological challenge ever undertaken by humankind. The quest to produce the ultimate energy solution…Fusion. It’s been called ‘bottling a star but so immense are the challenges, the goal of a power-producing fusion reactor has so far remained elusive and out of reach….until now.

Thank you so much for this wonderful, educational documentary about such an important project!
Patrick Stewart narrating this ❤
you mean captain Picard
I thought it was Ian Mckellen
@@renegroulx7029definitely Professor X
You can AI it . But this is a bit old..
Tokamak will prove to be a dead end, but the Stellarator is promising, as is the Focus Fusion project at LPP under Eric Lerner.
Our generation appreciates the mind boggling hardworking people and scientists who contribute to such projects for the comfort of the next generations ❤❤❤
It's crazy to think such advances in physics science and engineering to boil water to turn a turbine. Basically the world's most advanced and expensive coolest steam engine 😅
that always bothered me like ok can't we just try our luck on also researching direct energy conversion
Make it so! 😅
@@JE-mj8yz I will one definitely one day😅
25:42 i feel like the cup speaks to the job
Oh you got that right it's a big family and we ain't in it , just paying for it 😂
Fission already doesn't make greenhouse gasses. Fusion reactors that achieve not just ignition, but Net Energy Gain are apprimately 25 years away and always will be. It's called the breakthrough horizon.
Fusion is the energy of the future and always will be😊
Always 30 years down the road.
Public does not know science and engineering. The eat this stuff up.
Fusion is the main energy source at my home. I like millions of others use solar panels and powerwalls for all my electric needs including charging my Model Y.
One of many sources of energy actually
If the physics works then the engineering challenges will eventually be overcome. Trust me, I'm an Engineer!
Even if you are right, what about the economics? In the decades when I was involved on the edge of fusion research, the mantra was that the capital cost of a fusion reactor would be a favour of six more than a fission reactor.
How is that reusable rocket coming along? You are a vaporware salesman.
The physics of landing humans on Mars works out just fine, but so far nobody put up the money. Not everything that can theoretically be done is worth the trouble.
@@jamesrindley6215 Humans won't make the trip without spin gravity and shielding equivalent to 1 meter of water. Also, a crew of 5+ will most likely be needed.
Did anyone know about isbutain in a clear pipe as long as it's not in contact with oxygen it can traverse the pipeline in a plasma bubble?imagine an endless loop and twisted to mobius looping a ball pushing it around the flow sparking in spaced areas they are so much hotter in a way
Humanity could really use a win like this. I hope we make a breakthrough that will change the world for the better.
Am I tripping balls or is the narrator the actor from Star Trek, Jean-Luke Picard?
It's him 😂
Yes, he sounds like Patrick Steward. AFAIK he does do voice overs.
Haha, will ITER ever be finished. It currently does mot sound like it. I guess iter will just be another science experiment.
There is currently more chance to get energy positive fusion with a Stellarator, not with a Tokamak. Let's see which if the current Fusion startups will succeed first, but it will not be ITER, unfortunately.
38:46 yes, a tokamak reactor might work at 20025 😂😂😂
@@helmutzollner5496 all video's that are fake, have these things in it.
this might be the most efficient in terms of fuel but how about in terms of rare earths, nobel metals and such? how many thorium plants could be built for the same resources? thorium has to get used up anyway so as to make rare earth production cheaper.
Billions and billions of dollars, tons and tons of extremely complicated equipment. Yet the sun just happened..... lol it is actually absurd.
👍
Mr Fusion coming soon 😁
How old is this video again. Been some years on the memory. Know we had drain somewhere.
Thumbnail reminded me on Oppenheimers trinity test ngl
so much this wonderful
I will help with creating a new self ignition phase once accomplished I will open source the information
Very dangereus experiment.
Wild statement to say that the sun is terribly inefficient 😂
I'm sure the Sun is losing sleep over this.
If u consider how much is wasted? Yeah it is.🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍🌍
Are you familiar with this thing called MATHEMATICS? I don't think it's a wild statement to take the total amount of energy contained in a body and work through the binding and potential energies of the nucleons (there are these things called computers that help with the aforementioned -voodoo- mathematics). Then you take the amount of energy released by fusing elements together (more math, more computers) and compare that to an arbitrary value (100%? 90%? 20%? what's "terribly inefficient")
Then, using this tool we have called cognition, we arrive at a conclusion: either the reaction is inefficient or it's not.
What's wild about this?
I should think, having studied chemistry, astronomy and physics at an undergraduate level, that it would be a wild statement to say the sun sun is made of really cold applesauce.
so....I guess, qualify your remark? Unless you're happy to just broadcast both your incredulity and your obliviousness, then hey, I won't kink shame
It is good that the necessity to produce enough tritium in the reactor is mentioned in the video.
Each fusion reaction between one deuterium atom an one tritium atom releases one free neutron. This neutron moves at high speed and it will perhaps be absorbed by a liquid blanket that surrounds the reaction chamber and its kinetic energy will be used to heat the lithium and in a power reactor this heat will be used to produce electricity. But this neutron also has to fuse with a lithium atom. This nuclear reaction will perhaps produce a new tritium atom that will have to be extracted from the lithium that can be used to fuel the fusion process.
For this to be a closed cycle it is required that each step in the tritium production has 100% efficiency and this is obviously impossible. A possible way out of this dilemma is to use a neutron multiplier and one method could be to use beryllium for that.
When a neutron hits a beryllium atom a reaction that produces two neutrons can occur and they each have a chance to produce a tritium atom. If this is a viable road to fusion power is written in the stars. It might well be that what is written in the stars is "Don' t try this at home, use our free fusion power instead".
All this technology and we're still basically using steam power!
Can't wait until 2039 :) Hope they will manage ITER. Great Documentary :)
The ITER tokamak is not expected to be finished in 2025. The project's initial start-up has been delayed by nine years, from 2025 to 2034. The plan is now to skip the initial phase and begin research as soon as possible using a more complete machine. The tokamak will then undergo research for over two years before reaching full plasma current operation in 2036. After that, the reactor will shut down for further assembly and is expected to begin D-T operation in 2039.
Regardless of which fusion scheme proves eventually to be viable, Thorium fission in a molten salt reactor will be commercially available and cheaper than fusion energy, and the fuel is already molten, so there is no need to worry about a meltdown.
Tokamac should be the name of the first cannabis themed burger joint
38:42 by 20025..?
That sounds about right 😂
Brilliant video...😊
Sick music.
thanks
I am the pie in the sky, laughing at you , can you see the reason why ? I am the maker of rules, Dealing with fools, I can cheat you blind. Apologies to Alan Parsons
How they got Patrick Stewart to narrate is beyond next level
What about Sparky and the Vacuum Triode?
Just get the tritium from the tokyo plant that keeps spilling it out
And yes,the $ factor.
I think you meant to type
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 😂
Nuclear Power is the way to go
Wasn’t it Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin at Cambridge who determined the sun (and other stars) ‘burned’ hydrogen though her thesis was largely ignored and uncredited but subsequently incorporated into the ideas of illustrious male colleagues
Just so fantastically complex and massive!! And is this even a commercial size reactor?! What happens if one of those coils fails, or the plasma escapes confinement and destroys some or all of the interior walls?! Stripping the reactor down for repairs, if that's even possible, would take months or years and cost an incredible amount. Is there any prediction of service life? I'm not convinced the iter reactor is a viable solution. The collapsing bubble concept is interesting but is it scalable? And could it operate at a commercialy viable output for 25 years without needing frequent overhauls? These guys are obviously extremely intellectual but are they being swept along by the excitement of unknown technology? I think fusion or some as yet undescovered technology will eventually provide the energy needs of humanity but it's a while away. Personally I think wave power is being overlooked, it has been proven to be capable of providing enough energy for the whole world, and is infinite and constant in human terms. Day and night without fluctuation. The engineering is challenging but nowhere near the level of fusion toroid reactors, or as expensive.
The problem with wave energy is one of environmental issues. To generate the amount of energy needed will involve a substantial intrusion into the living space of aquatic life.
just spin the plasma, it will squeeze along the walls, yes, intentionally. yes the plasma near the surface will cool back to gas. because of heat conduction, forming a protective layer.
If it's that hot how do u keep the machine from melting
The magnets force the plasma into a donut shape - away from the sides of the walls. It's still much to hot, so they use liquid helium as coolant that circulates through the walls. The reaction still breaks down the interior surfaces over time so they have to replace those at some point.
They could have used Iver and mectin to continue unaffected. These super geniuses did not know this ?
Is it just me, or does he sound like Tyson Fury? 0:21
Research is always good but cost and safety is the finial factor. Imagine where we would be if as much had been invested in renewable energy research the last 30 years. Then for base power use Thorium-based nuclear power. Sadly just like renewable power generation the Chinese are starting to dominate just as they are with Thorium as a nuclear power source.
It's narrated by the Sir Patrick Stewart? 🤔
22:28 The lowest temperature in the universe is in the boomerang nebula? We've achieved colder than that in scientific experiments on Earth.
Uuuu tretium what is that and where can i invest
We need clean energy,but i think this is going the wrong direction.
Why is so much time and money committed to reaearching fusion when it could be mich more profitably invested in supercritical geothermal, with a similar but more affordable result in terms of reliable electricity production?
IT'S ALWAYS GONNA BE 'ABOUT A DECADE' AWAY! 🤔😉
Trying to imagine doing the systems integration. Nightmare.
Id prefer a non electric vehicle druven by statically active vibrations
So this crucible is constructed where inside the temperatures are far greater than that at the centre of the sun!....
There are three problems with that dream....
1....Containment in the crucible.
2....Transferring the heat from the inside the crucible to the outside.
3....Getting more energy out than you put in to create the plasma or whatever it turns out to be, inside the crucible.
The Sun is the crucible from which all life has been created and it has lasted billions of years.
To think that man can create another crucible here on Earth is but a dream, in my opinion.
Yet it seems our only hope, as the World's population rises exponentially.
The wise and older generations may realise this and think that they will be gone long before the effect of over population and climate change hits them,
It will be down to the new generations in a new world where demand exceeds supply.
Well electric is great but we still need battery and that’s rare earth and where do we get them? Unearth it… more mining more digging into the earth, question is; will that be good for the planet in the long run??
What is the release date of this documentary?
At around 15.20 it is stated that tritium is obtained from reprocessing spent nuclear fuel. I don’t believe this is correct. It comes from so called heavy water reactors, mainly in Canada and these are near their end of life. The availability of tritium in the future is not guaranteed. By 2039 when tritium is needed for ITER, there may not be enough for the planned experiments.
So before I was born I found out how to go big bang bc I remember being in a empty dark space before I was born then now every color and every matter and alive
Ps don't ask me why I'm watching nuclear fusion video and remember I was never here
Ps the universe has a way to be in the right time a just right places in the right comments
The year is 3024 they say fusion is only 30 years away.
Except you've achieved nothing with all that money 😂
It will be too late for fusion.
Build fission, MSR thorium and fast spectrum waste burners.
I wonder where the money is really going?
Why can't the West live together with Russia now. There is so much potential in there
Long delays now looking at 2034 to crank up
Project has cost overruns in the Billions
W00T?
are we over promising, I have doubts as to whether it will work, when it was designed that was the only technology available
Not as difficult as they make it look.

nuclear failed, this will fail as well.
Just might create a hole that'll suck the planet in,ha just saying.
he second law of thermodynamics may be false conventional wisdom. Let's face the possibility of breakeven free energy.
The second law of thermodynamics was imposed on us during Victorian England's scientific and religious cultural fascination with steam engines.
The second law is behind modern refgeration needing electrical energy to compress the refrigerent to force it to release as waste the heat that it has removed from the refrigerator's service interior in the cooling part of the refrigerent's circulation. There is also discarded heat from mechanical friction and electrical resistance. The total released and discarded heat minus the removed heat equals the electrical input balancing this system's energy but this only shows that energy is conserved even if the energy use is unneeded wasteful or harmful.
Refrigeration by the principle that energy is conserved should produce electricity instead of consuming it.
It makes more sense that refrigerators should yield electricity because energy is widely known to change form with no ultimate path of energy gain or loss being found. Therefore any form of fully recyclable energy can be cycled endlessly in any quantity.
In an extreme case senario, full heat recycling, all electric, very isolated underground, undersea, or space communities would be highly survivable with self sufficient EMP resistant LED light banks, automated vertical farms, thaw resistant frozen food storehouses, factories, dwellings, self contained elevators, safe rooms, and horizontal transports.
In a flourishing civillization senario, small self sufficient electric or cooling devices of many kinds and styles like lamps, smartphones, hotplates, water heaters, cooler chests, fans, radios, TVs, cameras, security devices, robot test equipment, scales, transaction terminals, wall clocks, open or ciosed for business luminus signs, power hand tools, ditch diggers, pumps, and personal transports, would be available for immediate use incrementally anywhere as people see fit.
Some equipment groups could be consolidated on local networks.
If a high majority thinks our civilization should geoengineer gigatons or
teratons of carbon dioxide out of our environment, instalations using devices that convert ambient heat into electricity can hypothetically be scaled up do it with a choice of comsequences including many beneficial ones.
Energy sensible refrigerators that absorb heat and yield electricity would complement computers as computing consumes electricity and yields heat. Computing would be free. Chips could have energy recycling built in.
A simple rectifier crystal can, iust short of a replicatable long term demonstration of a powerful prototype, almost certainly filter the random thermal motioren of electrons or discrete positiive charged voids called holes so the electric current flowing in one direction predominates. At low system voltage a filtrate of one polarity predominates only a little but there is always usable electrical power derived from the source, which is Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise. This net electrical filtrate can be aggregated in a group of separate diodes in consistent alignment parallel creating widely scalable electrical power. The maximum energy is converted from ambient heat to productive electricity when the electrical load is matched to the array impeadence.
Matched impeadence output (watts) is k (Boltźman's constant), one point three eight x 10^ minus 23, times T (temperature Kelvin) times bandwidth (0 Hz to a natural limit ~2 THz @ 290 K) times rectification halving and nanowatt power level rectification efficiency, times the number of diodes in the array.
For reference, there are a billion cells of 1000 square nanometer area each per square millimeter, 100 billion per square centimeter.
Order is imposed on the random thermal motion of electrons by the structual orderlyness of a diode array made of diodes made within a slab:
-----‐------‐----_____-- Out
🔻🔻🔻🔻
■■■■■■___ + Out
All the P type semiconductor anodes abut a metal conductive plane deposited on the top face of the slab with nonrectifying joins; the N type semiconductor cathodes or common cathode abuts the bottom face. As the polarity filtered electrical energy is exported, the amount of thermal energy in the group of diodes decreases. This group cooling will draw heat in from the surrounding ambient heat at a rate depending on the filtering rate and thermal resistance between the group and ambient gas, liquid, or solid warmer than absolute zero. There is always a lot of ambient heat on our planet, more on equatorial dry desert summer days and less on polar desert winter nights.
Focusing on explaining the electronic behavior of one composition of simple diode, a near flawless crystal of silicon is modified by implanting a small amount of phosphorus (N type conductivity) on one side from a ohmic contact end to a junction where the additive is suddenly and completely changed to boron (P type conductivity) with minimal disturbance of the crystal lattice. The crystal then continues to another ohmic contact.
A region of high electrical resistance forms at the junction in this type of diode when the phosphorous near the ĵunction donates electrons that are free to move elsewhere while leaving phosphorus ions held in the crystal while the boron donates holes which are similalarly free to move. The two types of mobile charges mutually clear each other away near the junction leaving little electrical conductivity. An equlibrium width of this region is settled between the phosphorus, boron, electrons, and holes. Thermal noise is beyond steady state equlibrium. Thermal noise transients, where mobile electrons move from the phosphorus added side to the boron added side ride transient extra conductivity so the forward moving electrons are preferentally filtered into the external circuit. Mobile electrons are units of electric current. They lose their thermal energy of motion and gain electromotive force, another name for voltage, as they transition between the junction and the array electrical tap. Inside the diode, heat is absorbed: outside the diode, to exactly the same extent, an attached electrical circuit is energized. The voltage of a diode array is likely to be small so many similar arrays need to be put in series to build higher voltage.
Understanding diodes is one way to become convinced that Johnson Nyquest thermal electrical noise can be rectified and aggregated. Self assembling development teams may find many ways to accomplish this wide mission. Taxonomically there should be many ways ways to convert heat directly into electricity.
A practical device may use an array of Au needles in a SiO2 matrix abutting N type GaAs. These were made in the 1970s when registration technology was poor so it was easier to fabricate arrays and select one diode than just make one diode.
There are other plausible breeches of the second law of thermodynamics. Hopefully a lot of people will join in expanding the breech. Please share the successes or setbacks of your efforts.
These devices would probably become segmented commodities sold with minimal margin over supply cost. They would be manufactured by advanced automation that does not need financial incentive. Applicable best practices would be adopted. Business details would be open public knowledge. Associated people should move as negotiated and freely and honestly talk. Commerce would be a planetary scale unified conglomerate of diverse local cooperatives. There is no need of wealth extracting top commanders. We do not need often token philanthropy from the top if the wide majority of people can afford to be generous.
