China forge ahead in the creation of unlimited energy sources that end the energy crisis. For this reason, they have made The artificial sun is five times more powerful than the real celestial body.

Beijing is spending a billion dollars to develop an experimental nuclear reactor that could bring the world one step closer to clean energy without limits. Gong Xianzu, a researcher at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the leader of the experiment, explains what was achieved: “The recent operation laid a solid scientific and experimental foundation for the operation of the fusion reactor. We reached a plasma temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius for 101 seconds in an experiment in the first half of 2021.”

“This time, steady-state plasma operation was maintained for 1,056 seconds at temperatures close to 70 million degrees Celsius, which laid a solid scientific and experimental basis for the operation of the fusion reactor,” he said.

How does this artificial sun work?

By maintaining such high temperatures, the EAST (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) nuclear fusion reactor surpassed the previous French Tore Supra tokamak record in 2003, where scientists were able to create the same temperature and maintain it for 390 seconds.

In the previous test, EAST sets another record in May 2021 run for 101 seconds at an unprecedented temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius. When, the true core of the sun can only reach a temperature of about 15 million degrees celsius.

ITER, a new project, will be the largest nuclear reactor in the world and was developed in collaboration with 35 countries, including all states of the European Union, UK, China, India and USA.
