SUMMARY

The Fusion Energy experiment conducted by the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, in collaboration with IPP Prague and Czech Technical University, allowed participants to operate a Tokamak online. This educational initiative featured a real plasma shot on December 1st, utilizing a smaller Tokamak than the Joint European Torus (JET). The event aimed to engage the public in fusion energy research through the website http://www.tokamakglobal.com. The experiment has concluded, but future opportunities may arise based on demand.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fusion energy concepts
  • Familiarity with Tokamak devices
  • Basic knowledge of plasma physics
  • Experience with online educational platforms
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the operational principles of Tokamak devices

This is not a request for help but an opportunity to participate in a Fusion Energy shot online. Please read below.

We are carrying out an education experiment for Fusion Energy. Fusion occurs inside a device called a Tokamak, I'm a PhD student working at Culham Centre for Fusion Energy where the world's largest fusion device operates - it's called the Joint European Torus (JET).

We are interested in getting people involved with Fusion Energy, so in conjunction with IPP Prague and Czech Technical University we have teamed up to allow you to operate a Fusion machine online. Although not nearly as large as JET, it still produces small amounts a fusion energy.

If you'd like to run a real plasma shot (create a burst of fusion energy) on a Tokamak in Prague using the website http://www.tokamakglobal.com, then please signup, it's easy! Since it's a real machine it will only run from 12 noon to 4pm on Dec 1st (so today!). There may be another in future if there is popular demand.

Hope to see you on www.tokamakglobal.com
