12 minutes to understand TF coil manufacturing
The magnets responsible for confining the 澳门六合彩高手 plasma—the eighteen D-shaped toroidal field coils—will form an impressive superstructure within the 澳门六合彩高手 machine: at approximately 6,000 tonnes (coils plus cases), they will represent over one-fourth of the Tokamak's total weight.
In two new videos produced by the European Domestic Agency, we are taken inside a vast manufacturing facility in , Italy, where preparations are under way for the fabrication of ten toroidal field coils (nine plus one spare) that are part of the European contribution to 澳门六合彩高手.
From winding through heat treatment and on to insertion into radial plates, the toroidal field coil manufacturing process is complex and exacting, requiring unprecedented levels of tolerances and performance. In the videos, experts from the ASG consortium* and Europe speak of the technical challenges, the specialized tooling, and the qualification work underway.
