Fake can never beat the original. That is what everyone says. But is it all the time? At least China's "artificial sun" has shattered that notion. The temperature of the center of the Sun is one and a half million degrees Celsius. There, China has been able to produce this ‘Artificial Sun’ (Artificial Sun) at 120 million degrees Celsius! That is 6 times the temperature of the center of the sun! But it is for 101 seconds. Although for a short time, this success has surprised scientists all over the world.
Not only that temperature, but also the sun on the earth has surpassed it. But only for a short time. This artificial sun has been able to generate a temperature of 160 million degrees Celsius for just 20 seconds. For now, the goal of scientists is to generate such temperatures for a longer period of time.
Helium is produced from hydrogen in the process of continuous nuclear fusion inside the sun. It is in this process that huge heat energy is generated. Using the same method, Bajimat China's 'Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamac' or EAST Fusion Reactor. China's state-run media, the Global Times, called the test a "significant breakthrough" and hoped for more success in the coming days.
However, the work of this reactor is still at the testing stage. Scientists hope it will be able to show its full potential within a decade. About 300 scientists and engineers are working towards that goal.
But what is the goal of this 'artificial sun' by producing so much temperature? In fact, the main goal of this project is to create uninterrupted flow of energy. With the help of deuterium obtained from the sea, scientists want to create that flow by creating nuclear fusion like the sun. However, it is not only China that is causing such incidents. South Korea is pushing China hard in this regard. In December 2020, their 'Super Conducting Tokamac Advanced Research Fusion Device' produced a temperature of 100 million degrees. But for 20 seconds.
