What is the most advanced fusion reactor?

The JET tokamak
The JET tokamak is the largest and most advanced magnetic fusion reactor currently operating. But the next generation of reactors is already in the works, most notably the ITER experiment, set to begin operations in 2027.

Has there been a successful fusion reactor?

In experiments culminating the 40-year run of the Joint European Torus (JET), the world’s largest fusion reactor, researchers announced today they have smashed the record for producing controlled fusion energy.

Can you build your own fusion reactor?

The short answer is yes. The long one is that it would require a lot of research and technical know-how. However, for those wishing to replicate this process, it should be noted that it is not that expensive.

Is ITER still under construction?

The ITER Project is currently under construction on a 180-hectare site in southern France. Thirty-nine buildings and technical areas house the ITER Tokamak and its plant systems.

How small could a fusion reactor be?

A reactor small enough to fit on a truck could provide enough power for a small city of up to 100,000 people. Building on more than 60 years of fusion research, the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works approach to compact fusion is a high beta concept.

How long do nuclear batteries last?

to 28,000 years
Durability. The firm calculates that the batteries could last up to 28,000 years, which means that they could reliably power space vehicles in long-duration missions, space stations, and satellites. Drones, electric cars, and aircraft on Earth would never need to make stops to be recharged.

Will ITER break even?

Assuming the same ηheat = 0.7 and ηelec = 0.4, ITER (in theory) could produce as much as 112 MW of heating. This means ITER would operate at engineering breakeven.

Will ITER be self sustaining?

ITER, which will be completed in 2019 and ready for full-scale testing in 2026, will be closer to a functioning fusion generator but will not produce a self-sustaining fusion reaction.

Will ITER be energy positive?

ITER will not capture the energy it produces as electricity, but—as first of all fusion experiments in history to produce net energy gain—it will prepare the way for the machine that can.

What is the fusion reactor in GregTech 4?

This page is about the Fusion Reactor added by GregTech 4. For other uses, see Fusion Reactor. The Fusion Reactor is a multi-block Energy Unit (EU) Generator added by GregTech. It is the most advanced, complicated and expensive piece of machinery in the game.

How much storage capacity does a fusion reactor gain per energy hatch?

The Fusion Reactor gains 10mio (MK1), 20mio (MK2) or 40mio (MK3) EU storage capacity per energy hatch built in. A Mark I fusion reactor needs LuV, ZPM, or UV Hatches. A Mark II fusion reactor needs ZPM or UV Hatches.

What is the fusion control computer in GregTech 5 unofficial?

The Fusion Control Computer is the core of a Fusion Reactor in GregTech 5 Unofficial. They come in 3 variants, Mark I, II, and III. The Fusion Reactor is a complex multiblock. It has 32 Coils in its core, surrounded by 79–120 casing blocks.

What does the fusion reactor need to work?

The Fusion Reactor is a variable multiblock, meaning that some blocks can be swapped for others depending on the desired reaction. The Fusion Reactor needs the following blocks to operate: The amount of Energy Injectors depends on the desired reaction.
