From the-sun.com and noted on Benjamin Fulfords post:
CHINA’S “artificial sun” ran for 20 minutes at a whopping 70 million degrees in its latest experiment – five times hotter than the real sun.
Scientists hope the machine will help harness the power of nuclear fusion, which would bring humanity one step closer to creating “unlimited clean energy” by mimicking reactions that naturally occur inside the sun.
Researchers have been busy running tests at the Experiential Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), a nuclear fusion reactor facility, to make its auxiliary heating system more “hot” and “durable”, Xinhua News Agency reported.
The facility is called an “artificial sun” because it mimics the nuclear fusion reaction that powers the real sun – which uses hydrogen and deuterium gases as fuel.
Designed and developed by the Chinese, the EAST has been used since 2006 by scientists from all around the world to conduct fusion-related experiments.
But the project has just hit an important milestone.
Researchers managed to run the “artificial sun” at 70 million degrees for as long as 1,056 seconds, or 17 minutes, 36 seconds, South China Morning Post reports.
The real sun hits temperatures of around 15million degrees at its core.
Gong Xianzu, a researcher at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua: “The recent operation lays a solid scientific and experimental foundation towards the running of a fusion reactor.”
Gong was in charge of the latest experiment at EAST, located at the Hefei Institute of Physical Science in the eastern province of Anhui.
More than 10,000 Chinese and foreign scientific researchers have worked together to bring to life the “artificial sun”.
The EAST harnesses extremely high temperatures to boil hydrogen isotopes into a plasma, fusing them together and releasing energy.
China has already spent around £701 million on the project.
The latest experiment, which started in early December, will last until June.
Institute of Plasma Physics director Song Yuntao said: “[The experiment] once again challenged the world record.
“We have comprehensively validated the technology, driving it a major step forward from basic research to engineering applications.”
In May, EAST achieved another milestone, running at a plasma – or hot gas – temperature of 120 million degrees for 101 seconds.
Song Yuntao, deputy director of the Institute of Plasma Physics at the Hefei Institute of Physical Science, said he hopes to generate power by 2040.
He said: “Five years from now, we will start to build our fusion reactor, which will need another 10 years of construction.
“After that is built we will construct the power generator and start generating power by around 2040.”
The two main challenges are keeping the temperature over 100 million degrees and operating at a stable level for a long time, Xinhua report
China’s ‘artificial sun’ that’s SIX TIMES hotter than the real Sun ‘will be ready this year’

put on your critical thinking cap. do you REALLY believe 10% of what super collider scientists say they are doing? what happens to the earth and neighboring planets, if there is a power supply & containment problem? no such thing as power outages from electricity suppliers? where did they safely test such failures?! not on earth. not unless these humans[??] are 1 floppy disk wonders/arrogant/narcissist psychopaths! maybe they are really trying to [alchemy] create gold from lead instead; at the future taxpayers[peons] expense. do you really believe you can have a mini sun in your backyard, with no accidents for decades in use. how do you dissipate that much energy safely with a coolant,into steam; into electricity.'just plug in the extension cord here'. that's like converting everyone into becoming electric car owners overnight. who pays the trillions $$$$$ to convert the whole country to run these wonders. buying gas at $75 a gallon would be cheaper in the long run! these people need to be pushing brooms for a living. when you look at the TOTAL cost to make a energy end product [infrastructure,mining,manufacture, transport of supplies, etc. to make the finished result, you may as well make hydrogen gas from water. its free compared to making gasoline, nuclear power. once the initialization begins, it can run itself indefinitely; and you ignore the startup costs, like all businesses! most, if not all energy conversion is a lost cause. it takes more energy/time to create it , then is in the output. there is no fictional perpetual motion solution without extreme extinction level event risks! wind power & solar panels are a joke. maybe ocean wave energy has a high maintenance chance. hundreds of thousands of them for one coastal city or state. Oh; don’t forget the collider radiation too! How far safely away is our star by the way? don't forget about planned obsolescence. like our nuclear power plants that were in [Fukushima,3 mile island,Chernobyl] use. they should switch to the $$vaccine$$ [genocide game] business. is this longer then the article? which is more interesting?
Thats a good question .See where the manhatten project has led the human race
LOL, We Hide & Mistreat our only Sun by spraying chemicals all over our Blue Ether Skies
I wonder if the Chinese could start another Hell with that thing.
