China Announces Completion Of Its 'Artificial Sun'

One of the biggest problems facing the world today is the issue of energy. Finding a renewable energy source that doesn't destroy that planet is a complex task that has puzzled many countries for many years.

However, China may have come up with a solution. Chinese scientists are working on harvesting the energy of the Sun, but not in the traditional sense of solar energy, rather fusion energy. The “artificial sun” which has been developed is actually a nuclear fusion device which is believed to be the future of clean energy.

Fusion Reactor

On Tuesday, China announced the completion of its reactor device and stated that they expect it to become operational as soon as 2020. The actual name of China’s artificial sun is HL-2M, which doesn't make it sound all that special. The reactor is located in Leshan, Sichuan province, where it was built to research fusion technology by the China National Nuclear Corporation and the Southwestern Institute of Physics. In reality, its become so much more and is potentially the future of the world's energy.

How does it work?

This is essentially a giant nuclear fusion device, which basically forces atoms together, which releases heat, which can then be harvested for energy. While the device is being referred to as an artificial sun, it can actually reach temperatures 13 times hotter than the real star. The HL-2M will be able to reach 200 million degrees Celsius (360 million degrees Fahrenheit, compared to just 15 million degrees Celsius (27 million degrees Fahrenheit) at the core of the sun. The resulting energy is not only cheaper, but also a lot cleaner than current nuclear options meaning the Earth wouldn't get damaged from it.

That said, it's not as straight-forward as it seems. There are of course a number of issues when dealing with such high temperatures - the main one being that they're difficult to achieve. Completing reactions like this can be complicated and need to be done correctly so that they don't go wrong. The consequences could be dire. Therefore there are a number of issues that need to be worked out before this sun can be put to work.

While it's not yet functional, it will be soon, and the artificial sun could possibly revolutionize the world's energy sources and the way we use it.

"If you read my previous comment Vlada, you will realise that it was not directed at you, I was just sharing a terrible experience of someone I know, and the harm that was caused. I never asked about your clients."

"Yeah-I think we can agree some people had underlying conditions but the proof that most people who have died suddenly almost 900 to date of pro athletes, at least what's been reported, died on the playing fields/ courts as the blood and shot clots…"

"None of what you've stated explained in your responses are what I asked for Drekx .. these deaths are more likely from underlying conditions exasperated with the vaccine like I stated.. you keep attacking me saying I'm not awake, and yet I'm fully…"
