Breakthrough in Fusion Energy: Tokamak Energy Reveals Plasma Behavior
Tokamak Energy has released high-speed color images of plasma from inside a fusion energy machine, providing new visual insights into the behavior of the plasma.
Current experiments on our ST40 spherical tokamak are offering new visual insights into plasma behaviour, thanks to a high-speed colour camera capturing footage at 16,000 frames per second
The footage shows lithium turning greenish-yellow as it traces magnetic lines, clearly visualizing how the plasma is both fueled and controlled.
- High-speed color camera captures footage at 16,000 frames per second
- Plasma reaches temperatures of tens of millions of degrees
- New visual insights into plasma behavior, a key development in harnessing fusion as a clean energy source
