Inside the reactor

This is not a sample of computer modeling, but a real video recording, and made during the installation of a 25-year record! The British laboratory Joint European Torus (JET) was able to achieve energy generation of 59 megajoules on its experimental thermonuclear reactor. The process lasted 5 seconds, which the camera captured.

A short video perfectly demonstrates the process taking place inside the reactor - deuterium and tritium merge, superheated plasma is formed, which spreads through the chamber and takes the form of a torus. The temperature rises to 100 million degrees, helium is formed, and all this lasts for as long as 5 seconds (in the physics of high-energy particles, this is an incredibly long period of time - ed. Techcult). For the current thermonuclear physics, this is a stunning result. Alas, this is still not a breakthrough. The amount of energy spent on maintaining the process is much higher than the energy received, so it is still far from the set goal. On the other hand, both the record itself and its video clearly demonstrate the success of scientists in this direction.
