Chinese scientists are said to be building a new "artificial sun" in an effort to find cheap, renewable and almost limitless energy.
Planned to be completed this year, the new device is designed to reproduce nuclear synthesis processes that occur naturally in the sun; It is expected to turn hydrogen into green energy with cost savings.
"Artificial sun" HL-2M Tokamak ...
.. promises to create temperatures above 100 million degrees Celsius.
This machine, called HL-2M Tokamak, is being built at the Southwest Physics Institute, affiliated with China National Nuclear Group. This news was published by the Dean of the Institute last Sunday in Beijing.
Last year, China built an "artificial sun" last year, called Tokamak (EAST). The test in November last year showed that Tokamak (EAST) created a temperature of 100 million degrees centigrade.
According to Duan, the expert at China National Nuclear Corporation, HL-2M Tokamak can reach an ion temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, about 6 times the solar ion temperature. This capacity meets one of three challenges to harness fusion reactions.
The device can serve as a prototype of fusion reactors in the future, bringing the dream to create clean energy in real life.
