World's biggest superconducting magnet passes final tests in China
China has completed testing of what it says is the world’s largest superconducting magnet system for a future nuclear fusion reactor, marking a major step toward building devices capable of containing plasma hotter than the sun’s core. Researchers at the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences completed the development, acceptance, and full-performance testing of two key superconducting systems: a toroidal-field superco…
In China, the Institute of Plasma Physics has just validated a 582-ton magnet that surpasses the volume and energy capacity of the international Iter reactor. A breakthrough that gives it a huge boost in the fusion energy race. Explanations.
China develops superconducting magnets
Scientists and engineers announced a major milestone for nuclear fusion technology on Saturday in Hefei, Anhui province. Teams successfully advanced two key superconducting magnets designed to power next-generation fusion reactors. World’s Largest Toroidal Field Magnet An expert panel officially passed the massive 582-metric-ton Toroidal Field (TF) superconducting magnet through a comprehensive review on Saturday. Developers at the Hefei-based I…
