The world's largest magnet, a decade in the making, is ready to be shipped to France where it will form the centrepiece of a project to replicate the power of the sun.
This will form a central part of ITER, a £17 billion ($23.95 billion) machine that creates fusion energy on Earth, built in France by 35 partner countries to find a 'true renewable power'.
The hydrogen fusion system is a test to prove the technology can work and that power can be created and controlled to provide carbon-free safe electricity.
While fusion power has been generated on Earth, it has never been possible in a sustained way that produces more energy than it takes to operate, the team said.
This new magnet, one of six, is 14ft in diameter and when the full system is assembled will be 59ft tall and 14ft wide, weighing about 1,000 tons.
It will be so powerful it could lift a 1,000ft, 100,000 ton aircraft carrier as much as six foot off the ground, but instead will be used to induce a powerful current in plasma.
This is a technical demonstration, but if it goes to plan it is hoped that hydrogen fusion power plants could be contributing to electricity grids by the middle of the century, generating 1,500 megawatts of electricity from just 1kg of fuel per day

It will be interesting to see if it works, as theorized.
How will they separate it from the ship?
All the area French people who were Covid vaccinated will get stuck to it.
I will pray all goes well for them. I have no desire to se a large smoking hole in the French countryside when the merde hits the oscillating rotator.
Induce a powerful current in plasma. Yeah, I'd go with that alternative. Don't see much of a market for lifting aircraft carriers six feet off the ground.

Pulled by their spikes?
Didn’t you read? Somehow it will only lift it six feet...
Urinalists are dumb.
“produces more energy than it takes to operate”
Decolonize racist ohysics.
Reminds me of 'The People's Cube' and its wonderful world of next Tuesday which is always only the next Tuesday away.
I can see some grands in France saying, “go see the scientists. We lost papa’s teeth and my good pan again!”
I have a hunch that it could be an electro magnet and without any electricity circulating through it probably would not even attract a paper clip. But again, I have been wrong many times before.
They’ll have magnet schools work out the problem.
It may or may not work as hoped.
But, astounding energy breakthroughs are on the near horizon, and they’ll NOT be through government initiatives.
That makes me think of a wonderful world of Disney Sunday night show like Tomorrow Land,Today!
Is this like Gain of Function for nuclear chain reaction?
Technically it is harder to make a fusion bomb than a fusion bomb...
But I am sure the islamists in france will figure it out...
$24 billon for a demonstration plant. How does one say ‘boondoggle’ in French?
