JET (Joint European Torus) is the world's largest tokamak fusion research facility, located in the UK. It was designed to study plasma behavior under conditions similar to a fusion reactor and to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion power. JET has achieved important milestones, such as producing 16 megawatts of fusion power using deuterium-tritium fuel. It is currently supporting the ITER project by testing components and training experts, with plans for a deuterium-tritium experiment in 2017 to further prepare for ITER operations.
Nuclear fusion is the future according to some, but comes with many challenges that have not yet been solved, both practically and economically, which many believe will prevent fusion from becoming a viable energy source. Whatever your stance, it is still an interesting technology and one that many are researching to prove its viability.
In this infographic we look at how nuclear fusion works, the benefits of nuclear fusion, and recent developments in fusion technology (including the ST40 Tokamak).Do you work in the energy and power sector? Check out our latest jobs: www.nesgt.com/jobs/power
ITER (International thermonuclear experimental reactor)Kamran Iqbal
ITER (originally an acronym of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is an international nuclear fusion research and engineering project, which is currently building the world’s largest and most advanced experimental tokamak nuclear fusion reactor at Cadarache in the south of France. The ITER project aims to make the long-awaited transition from experimental studies of plasma physics to full-scale electricity-producing fusion power plants.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider, most complex experimental facility ever built,
Largest single machine in the world.
It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 & 2008
10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries,
Lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the France–Switzerland border near Geneva, Switzerland,
This was the seminar presentation on my Project report for M.Sc. Degree.
This shows basic and application of Electric propulsion.Which also shows about how electric propulsion is better than chemical propulsion.
There are three basic ways to tap the ocean for its energy. We can use
The ocean's waves.
The ocean's high and low tides .
Temperature differences in the water.
1-Wave Energy
Kinetic energy (movement) exists in the moving waves of the ocean. That energy can be used to power a turbine. The wave rises into a chamber. The rising water forces the air out of the chamber. The moving air spins a turbine which can turn a generator.
When the wave goes down, air flows through the turbine and back into the chamber through doors that are normally closed.
2-Tidal Energy
Two types of tidal plant facilities.
Tidal barrages
Tidal stream generator

2. JET – the Joint European Torus
A collective European experiment to investigate
the potential of fusion power
3. JET – the world’s largest tokamak
Used by researchers from more than 40 laboratories
– hosted and operated by Culham Centre for Fusion
Energy in the UK
5. JET’s objectives
JET was designed to study plasma behaviour in
conditions and dimensions approaching those
required in a fusion reactor
6. JET highlights
• The first tokamak to
achieve controlled fusion
power (1991)
• The only device capable
of using Deuterium and
Tritium fuel
• World record of 16
megawatts of fusion
power (1997) – around
65% of power input
• Flexible design that can
be upgraded to keep pace
with scientific progress
7. JET’s specifications
• Plasma volume: 200 cubic
metres
• Plasma radius 3 metres
(major) / 0.9 metres (minor)
• Magnetic field: up to 3.5 Tesla
• Core temperature: up to 200
million degrees C
• Pulse length: up to 60 seconds
• Materials: Inconel (vessel),
beryllium (wall), tungsten
(divertor)
8. Remote Handling
Remote controlled manipulator has allowed many
engineering modifications, including recent
installation of ‘ITER-like’ inner wall
9. JET and ITER
JET has a key role in taking fusion forward, as one
of the main test machines for ITER
10. Future plans
• Deuterium and tritium
‘dress rehearsal’ for
ITER being prepared for
2017, using JET’s unique
tritium capabilities
