Waterheater=Wendelstein-Plasma-Reactor

  • Can someone please help (comments) and show the physicists how to draw energy from the generator? Current state of the art! (water expanses to gas by 100 degrees celsius)
  • Wendelstein 7-X is not a power generator, but a stellarator research experiment. Its specially shaped superconducting magnetic coils generate a three-dimensionally twisted magnetic field that encloses the hot plasma from the vessel wall with as little contact as possible.ipp.mpg.de
  • The plasma is formed from blown-in hydrogen gas. Strong microwaves from gyrotrons – in the case of W7-X, mainly 140 GHz electron cyclotron resonance heating – accelerate the electrons. The gas atoms are ionized by collisions; an electrically conductive mixture of free electrons and atomic nuclei is formed.ipp.mpg.de
  • Wendelstein 7-X works with hydrogen and deuterium, not tritium.The plasmas reach about 60 to 130 million degrees.ipp.mpg.de
  • Deuterium and tritium are isotopes of hydrogen – not water itself. Deuterium has one proton and one neutron and can be obtained from ordinary water. Tritium has one proton and two neutrons, is radioactive and naturally occurs only in very small quantities. ITER – the way to new energy
  • In a later fusion power plant, deuterium and tritium would fuse to form helium-4 and a fast neutron:
    ²H + ³H → ⁴He + n + Energy
    .
    The neutrons heat a surrounding blanket layer; a coolant transports this heat to the heat exchanger, steam turbine and generator. The required tritium is to be incubated from lithium.
