China develops first artificial sun during this year

Chinese researchers announced in November last November that the highly advanced experimental Tokamak reactor – an artificial sun designed to imitate the nuclear fusion that solar energy generates – has achieved a record after reaching a temperature For electrons with 100 million degrees Celsius.

The construction of the new artificial sun will end this year, and the device will be able to reach a standard temperature for the satellites, making scientists more likely to take advantage of the power of nuclear fusion and explain Duane – according to global newspaper Times-for local media the reactor working mechanism «artificial sun plasma consists of electrons and ions, and the reactor has been able to raise the temperature of electrons to 100 million degrees Celsius and the temperature of ions to 50 million degrees Celsius, which is responsible for the production of energy in the machine.»

Duane confirmed that the Tokamak reactor will be able to raise the temperature of the ions to 100 million degrees Celsius, which is seven times greater than the temperature of the ions in the sun, and this achieves what the Global Times calls "one of the three conditions for benefiting from nuclear fusion."

The tokamak reactor may become a model for future nuclear fusion reactors, thus approaching one step towards realizing the dream of an unlimited clean energy generation.
