Wendelstein 7-X: Second round of experimentation started (ipp.mpg.de) 2 points by shaqbert 9y ago ↗ HN
[–] shaqbert 9y ago ↗ TL;DR:- the 2nd stage with passive graphite divertor tiles ready to fire up plasma tests again- now temperatures of 70m centigrade for the ions possible, vs. 10m for the 1st stage tests- operation of up to 10 sec next- 3rd stage planned for 2 years after is supposed to prove operation for up to 30 sec
