  1. Or in Russian…… toroidal'naya kamera s magnitnymi katushkami TOKAMAK

  2. Fusion vs Fission Fission Reactors- Lots of toxic waste, liquid salt reactors can be very dangerous. Produce 1,000,000x more power than chem. Fission Reactors-Bad reputation (Hyped) China/Chernobyl Very difficult to contain A “Run-a-Way”

  3. Fusion! Precise conditions to maintain reaction No Waste- By products are beneficial Helium, Tritium, etc. Out-put power is ~4x Greater than Fission Difficult to maintain condition (so far..) High Energy Initial Input-Colliding Protons

  4. Methods ICR-Inertial Confinement Reactor Lasers-Cyclops, Argus, Hydra-Shiva (20 beams) Fuel Pellets-Frozen Tritium-Deuterium Difficulties- Raleigh-Taylor instabilities generating internal fractals of light. Timing- Sub Picoseconds Very unsuccessful. Conclusion-Not Viable

  5. The Answer! Tokamak Method

  6. History Invented in the 1950’s in Russia Larentiev (Idea formed in the 7th Grade) Army in 1948, asked to write a lecture Proposes uses of lithium in Fusion Invents/Tests Hydrogen Bombs Proposes “Magnetic Trap” Dies before experimenting.

  7. Pick up where Oleg left off…. Igor Tamm and Andrei Sakharov Idea for a Torodial Thermonuclear Reactor Implement Magnetic Trap in 1970’s

  8. Copper “Doublets”

  9. Science Fiction OR Science Fact VS

  10. General Atomics D-III-D Tokamak-San Diego CA

  11. Quick “Fun” Facts Internal Temperatures of 150 Mill C 270,000,032 Farenheight Only .1 g of plasma material in fusion Deuterium-Tritium for fuel (Easy to get) Inside covered in Coconut Charcoal Better at absorbing helium particles than anything They Use Cryopumps too! 8 Toroidial pumps-600 second cycle 88 Square Meters of cold surface

  12. What's next? JET-Joint European Torus (England) NOW ITER (South France) Now-2033 DEMO (Commercial Use) 2033-we stick a wheel on the sun.

  13. ITER

  14. Challenges Magnetic Field Strength (>13.5 Tesla) 18 Torodial Magnets (Niobium Tin) 80kA Cooling-5 km of Cooling Pipe from Ocean to 450 K, liquid nitrogen to 80 K, and liquid helium to 4.5 K Operating temperature. Materials of Internals (3 feet wall-plasma) “Elms” and their mitigation Robotic Maintenance
