- ITER - Blanket Shield Module | How it works
ITER is the most complex machine to ever be built by humanity. Its construction involves over 10 million components being built in factories all around the world. Though the extreme nature and complexity of this machine can be highlighted by the number of components, each individual piece is as complex as the entirety of the machine itself. In this series of videos, I will break down its components to its minute level, to give you a better understanding of how intricate and precise ITER is, starting with the Blanket Shield Module.

Superb video! I work on the first wall panel, you did a very nice job describing it, and the animations are top quality. Now I have something to link when people ask me about my job haha!
Could you possibly share your sources/recommended reading material? I'll love a more in depth and technical look at ITER's main components! Thanks for the video, keep up the great work!
ITER has its own UA-cam channel. You'll find what you are looking for there.
@@Feuermagier1337 ewwww, their channel is not very good tbh.
@@zephirus4483 Can you elaborate? I've no way of knowing why from your comment alone
@@Ryutsashi nah he is right. I have been following it for over a year and the quality of the production varies a lot from a vid to the other. Sound isn't really well managed, sometime they will try to make you have a ceasure with all the flashes, etc... Still informative but don't expect top notch quality.
Honestly if you Google your way for ITER and its components you'll probably find most public information that has been documented this far quite fast
At least as much as I remember from the last time I tried to research it
Very informative, I love going into the little details of big projects like this. ITER is so complex and fascinating, I'd love to see you go more into it. The professional, to the point attitude is also very welcome. You waste no time getting into the details. Keep it up!
a bit of a critique, I didn't understood this was going to be a fusion reactor up until halfway into the video. Not to mention that the video should had started with a layout/overview of the parts you will discuss.
It's a really detailed video on only one module you have to know beforehand how the reactor work and there is plenty of videos on UA-cam that explain it simply.
I think the purpose of the video is not to explain simply how Iter works because it has already been done a lot.
@@alexeidouillard8921 well you may know there are many videos out there that explain things. I don't, thus the script of the video is bad.
With no references to other channels or other data, or any prompts of the type "If you want to learn more/if you want a simpler explanation search this/go here", it's a bad storyboard design in my opinion. It feels like it's been cut out of some other bigger documentary, and taken totally out of context, rather than a connected part of a whole series of videos.
@@NikolaNevenov86 A warning of how specific this video is, is indeed needeed
Completely agree.
At 5 minutes I restarted to see if i missed the explanation of what ITER is.
A couple minutes in I checked if i had missed a previous video on the channel.
I then decided to skip watching the series.
Interesting to see a great explanation on the FWP (first wall panel). I can't wait to see how you explain the divertor and the complexity of this product
Making Blender Models of all this is a feat in of itself I’d imagine!
I do know they released some sort of 3D Printable Model, I don’t know if they made anything else 3D Model wise.
Funny, I was just reading about fusion reactors how recently they're running out of tritium to run such reactors. Normally it's made in normal nuclear reactors, but most don't sequester it. There's a few in France and Germany that did but those reactors have been slowly taken offline in the past few decades. Remember that ITER was originally intended to be finished in 2010 when supply was a lot better.
@@tbird81 well it's just a result of the boogeyman nuclear has become in the public eye. Nuclear in general is pretty safe, but the public have turned heavily against it purely due to radiation being an unseen killer and people being poorly educated about it. Since politicians are voted for by the average laymen, that kinda matters.
It really suck though as nuclear is cleaner than basically any other source, is basically required to make tritium for fusion, and requires way less fuel to be used for the same amount of power. One fuel rod can be used for an entire year before being swapped out. That means it takes vastly less mining to meet the same power demands as coal. Though oil and gas are better in that they take no mining at all, but they burn through it much faster which takes more transportation and oil has the risks of contaminating the oceans or wilderness. Happens all the time.
@@Skylancer727 Plus we have a really good and a really safe way of storing the high level nuclear waste but most people for some reason think that we have no way to safely store the waste
@@Skylancer727 because human beings are idiots unless educated and it's not their fault it's the people who taught them "how evil nuclear energy is" and the people who don't do their jobs correctly at either designing the Old reactors or who are supposed to maintain and run them.
I read the same article
Another reason for mining the moon :)
I am so excited about this series! Your talents with the insane engineering of an IRL fusion reactor will make this amazing to watch.
Man, your production quality and depth of knowledge is off the charts! One correction though: breeding tritium will only happen in test modules for now, not the entire machine.
Excellent video, truly amazing amount of detail that makes me appreciate the engineering effort going into one component of ITER. Dying to see more!
I had no idea how the energy was taken out of a fusion reactor. Now I know it's not that dissimilar from nuclear or coal power plant, that is, by transferring the heat into a coolant. Very high quality video! ITER should pay you for the publicity!
Oh heck yeah! This is going to be an awesome series!
While I'm skeptical of the viability of ITER as a fusion experiment (I feel like it'll be obsolete by the time it actually starts doing science), it'll be cool to learn about how wildly complex the thing is.
I also feel like it might be obsolete by the time it's finished but It's good to realize that that's the case exactly because they chose to build it. The research going on all around the world to enable the participating countries to build the modules they will be providing is what is making it obsolete. If there wasn't such a big push because of ITER it's concept might still be state of the art.
@@bartios it’s quite frustrating. While I admit that I don’t know hardly anything about the bureaucracy and policies that went into ITER’s planning, I find it crazy that it’s taken so much money, time, and people for this experiment.
I think we’d have a better chance if that money had been divided up between a dozen research teams to let them all tackle the problem on their own.
Thank you for taking a short dip at tritium breeding as our current limited supply of tritium is a serious serious problem for early future fusion plants
It's so nice seeing you back to the dense, detailed explanation of things
Bewildering complexity! Great video, Zero!
Your video quality just keeps getting better. I'm am consistently amazed.
Tragic this video didn't get the viewership it deserved, wouldve loved a whole series of this.
Gosh, I hope ITER is successful in all its tests.
this series bout to be an absolute BANGER!😍✨
The fact that ITER is the first nuclear fusion reactor using a actively cooled shielding is wrong! Wendelstein 7x uses it already
its a scam...the fuel TRITIUM is very very SCARCE... MAY NEED EXPENSIVE FISSION REACTORS TO BREED IT!!!
!!!
@@esecallum what does that have to do with my comment?
I mean, technically most reactors are already actively cooled, that's what the water is for. ITER in comparison needs cryogenics to not instantly melt in comparison. Not to mention if they didn't need it, that's only a good thing as it reduces complexity and makes the rest of the reactor cheaper.
I say I'm more disappointed that ITER won't use electrostatic direct energy conversion like many experimental reactors already do. It is way more efficient than just heating water and already has been shown to work. It's not like this project hasn't already gone way over budget.
@@Skylancer727I'm not sure what you'd need an energy conversion for? They're only heating the plasma, cooling system is not used for energy production.
@@Quickshot0 electrostatic direct energy conversion is a more direct way of converting the high energy plasma directly to electricity. It has an moderately higher efficiency than normal steam power generation and is also able to collect power from sources like X rays which heating steam can not.
Basically it collects the free electrons in the plasma converting them directly into electricity in basically a miniature inverse particle accelerator. Basically you put a small tunnel on the side of the reactor, plasma feeds in and produces raw electricity without need for conversions piping, or constant source of water.
I cant wait for this series, been following the project for years, never seen anyone explain it this well
I am so excited about this! Always wanted to learn about ITER with 3D visual aid.
Amazing video mate, as always! Would be amazing to keep with the serie, and providing us with more content about ITER!
The king is back
Man your channel is underappreciated! I am only watching this two days late due to work.
This is the way. Good direction, keep at it!
Love this channel so much
excellent as always
Absolutely awesome content. Thanks man. Keep up the good work
Superb video! Thanks a lot !
This definitely did need a hell of research, keep it up.
Really looking forward to this series!
wicked, looking forward to this series :)
This is a really well put together video man. 👌👌👌
these are so amazing
Dude, I looooove this channel. Also, you are a Blender MASTER!
You’re underrated for the work you put in these
Great Video!
astounding content as always!
i just get a nerdgasme from all of your videos,the details and production quality are insane!
This is the whole reason i do engineering, anazing pieces of work!
Love your content 👍👍👍😎
Love your videos!
Welcome back to form! 😎 🙌
Fantastic, thank you.
Stunning.
Some company somewhere (Tesla, space X, atomb bomb manufacturers, Lockheed Martin, Samsung, the list goes on) should hire subject zero to create 3D models of their products, with a detailed breakdown of how it’s made. These videos never cease to amaze.
This is great!
graphics were incredible!
Superb content!!!
Eagerly waiting for next video.
Wonderful video,.
awesome thanks for information
This is giong to be Awesome !!
This is super cool
DAMN GOOD job. ITER doesn’t get enough publicity / love in my opinion, and here you come with this damn detailed series!
Thank you
Meanwhile, in Kazakstan, a child has achieved fusion with a rubber band. Seriously, there's no such thing as over engineering and nothing could go wrong. But fascinating! Love great engineering.
I like seeing you try new things and experimenting, it's like watching someone grow up in front of me. Honestly keep at it, i like a lot of your videos.
Gotta say though, it's kind of hard to follow what you're saying in this one (I only watched the first few minutes because I got too confused). Also you're talking very slowly here and that doesn't really help with that (but maybe that's just me)
Solid!
Top KEK!
Awesome!
YES!!!!!!! ANOTHER VIDEO
Good stuff👍
Oooh I can tell right now this is going to be one of mine favorite series... fingers crossed that ITER works and there are no f ups
Im excited for this new series! Though i feel like you were talking a bit slow compared to your other videos
Thank you Subject Zero for another AMAZING INFORMATIVE VIDEO!!! I love your content and style of your videos. I hope the algorithm gods smile on you and see fit to have your videos and channel seen by everyone!!! You keep making them and I'll keep watching, thank you again!!!!!
Great idea for a series, and phenomenal work. The visuals are boarderline *too* good. We'll need one little blue guy thrown in for size comparisons though. I'm not catching the scale.
I know, I know... it's only part I
Cool video. The thing I found most interesting about this was the breading to keep the reaction going and the colling that also acts at the method of energy extraction. I have been curious how they would extract energy from this type of reactor.
Interesting!
This is really good as usual but I don't think anywhere in the first three minutes do you mention that this is a fusion reactor? I was pretty confused as to what was being explained, and only know that it's a fusion reactor from the comments. You just refer to it as an "energy project" and a "machine" so I found it a little unclear.
Your videos are very well-made and explain everything so it could be understood by pretty much any audience
i had to go and look up what ITER even was xD would be super nice with a quick "Hey, ITER is a fusion reactor that works like this. ... and this part goes here" in the next part
Ah, I was really confused what ITER is too, thanks for sharing the answer xD
One of the best videos i've seen on ITER and it's by far the most complete one. Some might say that it goes to much into the detail but I think that having better explanations to all of the engineering behind this project is great, there is already a lot of videos explaining simply how ITER works. I hope that the series will continue !
I just might recommend showing the location of module in the reactor to better understand it's purpose.
dude your graphics are INSANE
He'll yeah. Iter is badass and I wanna know more
Probably the only fusion project worth taking seriously.
Great.
Please give him any comment so we could support him even we don't have money.
I suspect that your description is damn close to the level of "a mountain is high" and beyond my abilities to understand your speech. It gives me an idea about the complexity of the task. The insane part is the fact that in 50 years it will be common knowledge. I remember the V2 in 1945. They were the top of technology at the time. It took a long time to master that technology. Now, we are dealing with a fusion energy system.
1945?!?!
its a scam...the fuel TRITIUM is very very SCARCE... MAY NEED EXPENSIVE FISSION REACTORS TO BREED IT!!!
!!! LOOK IT UP!
@@curiodyssey3867 He's one of the engineers that worked on it.
I need one of these for the lake house.
Yes please! gimme that ITER Stuff!
Who does your graphics? If it is you Subject Zero, they are fantastic!
Every time a see a video, or read something abount nuclear reactors, I get awed by the complexity of it.
All I can say is,"WOW."
Nifty !
This is the way
nice
Damn with all these parts, i feel bad for the millwrights!
This is the way.
I've been following ITER and you for a while, so this is the perfect series for me. The quality and detail of your graphics and explanation are amazing. I would however request a simplified overview of the whole reactor and the engineering problems it deals with, to provide context for each part, and make it all more digestible for a fusion novice like myself. Otherwise keep up the good work!
I agree on the fact that this quantity of detail is not really adapted to everybody who are not familiar with the project and it needs more context, however I think that there is not enough content on UA-cam that goes that deep into the details. Most of the videos i've found on the subject are explaining Iter not getting into the details at all.
So overall I find this level of precision welcome.
Whar music is that? Really beatyful...
cool
Is berlyium or lithium is better neutron multiplier?
Lol just went to an internship at ITER like 1 week ago
Where does this component fits? Please show where the components fit in your next videos!
For the algorithm!
Thanks for the video. Apparently I don't have 480p option for the video.
UA-cam re-encodes the video to the various resolutions; takes an hour or less. The options should all be there by now.
ok, cool
Mayby not the most efficient but I do wonder how much power you could get by some sort of generator being atached to those cooling loops.
does anyone know the name of the background music? the song is amazing
