Chasing the 'Artificial Sun'! The Big Science Device "Kuafu" Makes Its First Appearance
The sun is the source of lifeThe sun is a symbol of lightNowadays, humans want to create a "sun" on EarthKeep energy inexhaustible, water clear and sky blue, and life sustainableAs National Science Popularization Day approachesJournalists Visiting the Construction of China's Large Science Facility "Kuafu" (CRAFT)Take a look at this research platformHow to Develop "Engines" for the Future "Artificial Sun"Effect Picture of "Kuafu" Park (provided by Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences)The scientific name of 'Kuafu' is' Comprehensive Research Facility for Key Systems of Fusion Reactor Mainframe (CRAFT) 'It is a national major science and technology infrastructure project approved during the 13th Five Year Plan periodApproved to commence construction in December 2018Expected to be fully completed by the end of 2025Real scene of the construction of the "Kuafu" park captured on September 11th. Photographed by journalist Zhou MuFrom scratch to somethingChinese scientific researchers and engineering builders work day and nightBuild and use at the same timeThe current "Kuafu" park has been delivered and put into useCome on, let's' ride 'the droneTaste the Fresh and Experience the Magnificence of "Kua Fu"Everything grows by the sunThe sun emits light and heat due to internal nuclear fusion reactionsIf we could create a 'sun' on EarthHuman beings are expected to achieve energy freedomIn the mid-20th century, humans began researching nuclear fusion energyChina launched the dream of "artificial sun" in the 1970sAfter several generations of research workers' relay struggleChina has now been builtEastern Super Ring (EAST), China Circulator, etcA batch of "artificial sun" experimental devicesAchieve multiple significant achievementsEAST device independently developed by ChinaHaving over 200 core technologies and nearly 2000 patentsConvergence of "ultra-high temperature", "ultra-low temperature", and "ultra-high vacuum"The cutting-edge technology of "ultra strong magnetic field" and "ultra large current" in one furnaceThe engineering design of China Fusion Engineering Experimental Reactor (CFETR) has been completedTo study key technologies for building CFETRIt is precisely the main mission of "Kuafu"Compared to EASTCFETR will be larger, higher, more precise, and more advancedCurrently in the laboratory of 'Kuafu'The prototype of some components of CFETR can already be seenFor example, this huge 'orange petal'This is an important component of the future 'artificial sun'The appearance is spectacularThe technological connotation of 'Kuafu' is more substantialJust like the Kuafu in ancient Chinese mythology and legendsHaving high aspirations, longing for light, fearless of hardships, and the courage to pursue dreamsMore than 100 domestic cooperative unitsMore than 60 international cooperation unitsOver 1000 buildersAfter more than 5 yearsOvercoming a series of scientific research and engineering technical challengesOn September 15th, staff installed and debugged equipment in the "Kuafu" park...
