A global fusion experiment
Experience running a real live tokamak is available to anyone with an internet connection, thanks to the Golem project in Prague.
Getting a feel for fusion energy
Participants at the European Energy Conference had more than coffee to keep them entertained in their breaks.
A snowball’s chance in Hell
Commissioning of JET’s fuel injection “machine gun” has been successful, shooting 50 frozen pellets per second into the plasma at speeds of up to 1000 kilometres per hour.
Germany benefits from fusion research
Dr Stefan Kaufmann, member of the German Parliament, visits JET
You’re made of fusion fuel
Is there really enough fuel on earth for millions of years of fusion power?
Hybrid operation achieved
There has been good progress in implementing the new capabilities of JET. Neutral beam heating power has now reached 21MW and routinely and reliably operated at 16 to 18MW.
ASDEX Upgrade features in “Magnetar” music video
Garching’s tokamak has provided the dramatic backdrop for a video of German virtuoso electric cellist, Johannes Moser.
Ready for a record
The principal ‘additional heating’ system on JET is the Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) system. During the last experimental campaign, this heating system routinely delivered over 20MW of power to the plasma. As you might remember, one of the tasks during the 2009/10 shutdown was to upgrade this system and install [...]
