Chinese nuclear scientists succeeded in lighting an “artificial Sun”, which turned out to be five times hotter than our sun. As the portal “Cursor. info “, we are talking about the experimental reactor Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak EAST), one of the largest operating tokamaks in China, which managed to keep the plasma heated to 70 million ° C for more than 17 minutes.
This record brings the hour of the creation of a commercial thermonuclear reactor closer, when an almost inexhaustible source of “clean” energy will be at the disposal of mankind.
The superconducting tokamak EAST has been operating since 2006 and is used for experiments carried out by scientists not only in China, but throughout the world.
Last fall, scientists from China, the world’s largest investor in nuclear power, announced the successful completion of the development of the CFETR (China Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor) tokamak, which took into account all the latest developments in the field of controlled thermonuclear fusion. Physicists from the Celestial Empire are confident that if the experiment is continued successfully, the “artificial sun”, which gives people warmth and light, will flare up in about 10 years.
