Wendelstein 7-X, Nuclear fusion research facility in Greifswald, Germany
The Wendelstein 7-X contains 50 non-planar and 20 planar superconducting magnetic coils arranged around a 16-meter diameter heat-insulating cryostat system.
Construction of this advanced stellarator began in 1995 at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, with the first plasma production achieved in December 2015.
The facility serves as an international research hub, bringing together scientists from Europe, United States, and Japan to advance plasma physics knowledge.
The facility operates with superconducting magnets that enable extended testing periods and more efficient operations compared to conventional fusion reactors.
The reactor achieved an ion temperature of 40 million degrees in 2018, demonstrating the potential for sustained nuclear fusion reactions in stellarator designs.
