Countries around the world are gradually transitioning from fossil fuels like coal and gas to more eco-friendly energy sources. In their quest to find new ways to generate power, the Japanese have unveiled a groundbreaking invention - the world's most powerful fusion reactor, nicknamed the "artificial sun".

Japan aims to move away from using coal and gas for its energy needs. Instead, the government has developed the world's largest fusion reactor to provide safe, environmentally friendly and powerful energy for its 120 million citizens. The project is also expected to boost technological development.

According to an article on geekweek.interia.pl, Japan's first fusion reactor, JT-60SA, is being commissioned in Naka. The project is expected to provide valuable insights for constructing ITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor in France. As a result, scientific centres from all over the European Union are also participating in the Japanese initiative.

The Japanese JT-60SA project is a tokamak-type fusion reactor. It was developed through the collaboration of over 500 engineers, scientists, and more than 70 companies from Asia and Europe. According to a geekweek.interia.pl report, the JT-60SA uses hydrogen, heated up to 200 million degrees Celsius to form plasma. The plasma is then contained for about 100 seconds by a powerful magnet system consisting of 28 superconducting coils.

The powerful fusion reactor is poised to revolutionise the energy industry and the daily lives of millions of people across the globe. This "artificial sun" technology will enable the production of inexpensive and, more importantly, entirely eco-friendly energy.
