Hi Spacecats, I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and welcome to my channel, where you can find all things space, astronomy and physics! Could fusion provide virtually limitless, clean energy with no nuclear waste? In this video we take a look at the engineering marvels of the tokamak, a donut-shaped fusion reactor. Thanks to Anders Welander, I get to give you a tour of the DIII-D, a the USA's largest fusion reactor that plays a crucial role in advancing fusion research for projects like ITER. Is this the future of energy?
