A wide load transport for one of the most important science projects of our time. The
largest nuclear fusion reactor in the world is being built in the south of France: Iter.
The objective: being able to supply unlimited, clean energy to mankind. Perhaps the most
important component is a gigantic magnet, strong enough to lift an entire container ship.
The nine-meter-wide and three-hundred-ton part magnet is heading to France via cargo
ship from all corners of the world. The final and trickiest stage happens at the seaport of
Sur les Fos near Marseille to the Iter construction site in Provence.
During this 130 kilometer stage of travel, the team has to cross a lake, pass through sixteen
villages and blast their way through a mass of rock. And as always, the special transport
has a constant convoy of police securing the passage.
Immediately after the mega transport has reached its destination, scientists put all parts
to the test. Even the smallest scratch can make the highly sensitive custom-made product
unusable and thus set the entire project back by years.

It's a wonder they are still building ITER.. How the world is more and more polarized, but they still find a way to work together on this project....
Its started and agreements signed decades ago, If its today no one will cooperate, Moreover except europe No other countries will get energy benifit, How they transport energy from france to India or china. Its stupidity of India and China to fund this project
Billions of dollars will do that. Its a pointless endeavor period
@@Rubyranch393 nuclear fusion being viable right now isn't going to do much, once robots start walking and talking and can perform construction labor automonously like a human can, operate vehicles, its over, utopia will be created and nuclear fusion megaprojects will be viable.
@@DoctaSchmieed And yet we can’t get a president to complete a sentence I’ll believe it when I see it.
It's the face masks. That's the unifier.
That's some strong plywood you've got there.
This type of videos are supposed to get millions of viewed, but now days most viewed videos are girls dancing and satisfying videos. I love this so much, I hope I can be the same worker as in the video.
Love these series.👊🏿knowledge.
Very interesting video with quality images!
Remarkable feat!
"mega Transport" is one of my favorites if not favorite series on this channel and i cant believe I am the first to make a comment on this particular video
Great video thanks 😊
17:19 The ITER will not produce any electric power. It is exclusively a test reactor.
That million dollar cargo might be cheaper than that million dollar transport trailer
I'm stunned with the lack of planning in parts of this, and these guy's some how have a job probably.... common sense, it's not so common
These programs rely on some tension in order to keep viewers coming back. Without problems and resolution of those problems it would be just another boring documentary. The glitches are contrived or amplified to keep the audiences attention.
5:27 now scientists need to figure out how to make non-fragile high tech parts. 😂
I sincer ly hope people watching this are here for the amazing machines and don't try to take away 'n beic knowledge about fusion. A few magnificent gaffs
What is the advantage of switching tow/push trucks from front to rear and then later back. Don't really know why they switch.
Probably like reversing a train up a switchback, don't need some HUUGE turning circle, but you just need a bit of extra runoff on one end and you move the trucks around. I don't think they moved the one at the front to the back per se, just flipped them 180 and had them pulling the other way. Terrible writing in this one.
I think it’s about changing the angles , they did it when they were going around turns that were like *90
@@TheWinning247 At one point the specifically said that was exactly what they did! 🍌🤔
@@TheWinning247 You think they turned the Trucks 180 to pull in reverse, or in your vernacular:"the other way"...!?!? That you think that is one thing and entirely for you to live with, but that you actually put it out here in the World is hilarious, seriously, you "akshually" think that the Trucks which control the steering of the Trailer on the highway sections are going to do it in reverse....!?
@@HeinrichDixon Where...did they say "exactly that", on the tighter sections steering is switched to the Trailer, otherwise it's the Trucks that take the steering over (6:51), there is no way that the Trucks are going to do that while driving in reverse on the Highway sections !!
With the production of 18 magnets I woulda thought it would be worth building a factory next door to ITER?
Production contracts had been given equally among the members of ITER. So I doubt any nation would have wanted build a factory in a foreign country when it’s an opportunity to create jobs in their own nation rather a foreign one
May all this power be used in peace.
There is no way to use it at a war... or for war...😂 It needs to munch components and investment and even so... The only way of using Nuclear Fusion is for producing electric 💡⚡ energy or to consume it in worst case scenario 😂😂😂
@@3dgar7eandrohow does it produce electricity? Boil water right? That's exactly the heat we need for a nuclear bomb 😂😂😂
How did I miss this
And there's the whole problem with Fusion right there. Massively complex and heavy components that cost the earth to make, and you still don't know whether it can even be made to work. For goodness sake put some money into Molten Salt Reactors that actually work already and just need refinement.
What an incredible project !!! Still alot of unknowns !!!!
"Still alot of unknowns." I often wonder when "alot" will become an actual word. In "alittle" while, perhaps?
The known is the billions funneled away from taxpayers to friends of the governments
World's Largest Fusion Reactor Experiment
All the brassy music and three testicle vocal thunder in the world can't get around the fact: this is yet another fusion experiment which nobody seriously expects to produce more electricity than it consumes.
Uhow does switching the trucks help make the turn when they're the same truck lol.
Is this a new series of mega transport?
I thought the U.S. already made a Fusion Reaction.
Imagine dropping that cargo.
Whats the point of rotating the trucks? Arent they the same units?
One allows for more flexibility when loading and unloading. (Believe)
Hello does anyone know why they have to uncouple and rotate the trucks so often?
The SPMT's are remote controlled and the controls are mounted in 1 particular truck ,so to maneuver around obstacles requires the controller/ Driver to be able to see the trailer and load.
I don’t understand why they need 100 vehicles to transport this.
OH HOW I LOVE BIG. The bigger the better. Oil rigs are my specialty.
If the tractors have the same power, why have they been switched several times please?
how strange building a machine that is never proven to work
An here I thought a Lego set with 260 pieces has too much pieces to build 😅
Cargo worth millions? Just the moving operation is worth millions.

Does an energy breakthrough solve enough of our problems and will it happen in time?
It will change the geopolitical landscape in an order of magnitude unseen I believe. Energy, oil, natural gas, it is such an incredibly powerful motivator in the global stage, not only does fusion power resolve disputes and conflicts over black gold, but it also will eliminate the climate change prevention conversation. It's beautiful how much technology can change our world, its impact is so underseen by the majority yet it affects them the most.
@@nick_0 Thanks for the thoughtful reply. It's exciting to think of the leap in many aspects of life and science and energy we expect will come from orders of magnitude more energy, with a negligible climate impact. It doesn't solve everything, however, and the environment is not the worst of our divisions as of late. War between the major players is near full scale, both U.S. and Russia claim to have encountered UFO's, and dystopia is a buzzword in some places and real in others. I'm excited for the events of a major advancement to resolve much and... imagine how much faster we become multi-planetary.
There have been advancements before. The only problem is that the powers that be didn't want us the people to have it. They want us to have to rely on them and line their pockets.
I liked the part where they moved that thing. And he said 2,020 horsepower. 600 + 600 + 600 + 310 + 310 = 2,420 horsepower....
Does this journey take 30 years?
"traffic circle" ROUNDABOUT
Thats the problem when you get a yank to narrate on a project based in Europe. Alas the septics call roundabouts, circles. And they dont like them.
5:57 The guy's shirt seems inside out !
I would like to see the check to the transportation company.
No matter at what point in time you talk about Fusion, they say it will always be thirty years away....
Dude you definitely got stuck at the 1970's 😂😂😂, they just said is programmed to start working at 2025
@@3dgar7eandro ITER will not generate any electric energy, that will be in around 30 years in a follow-up of a follow-up reactor.
@@marioxerxescastelancastro8019 yeah sure bro... of course
I wasn’t sure if I heard fusion. That is insane. What if they can’t control it.
So the universe is alive it moves but realy slowly..
Will this project reduce the cost of electric bills
I'm not sick. That is why I black out in the driveway and I cut my own. Head?
Kumain na ba kayo?

Whoever wrote this VO script needs to be taken out to the wood shed and dealt with via pliers and a blow torch for such an incredible lack of basic research.
They must have simulated the route
Fusion is the power source of the future - and it always will be...
If human beings can harness it without waiting another 20 or 30 years!!! carlitos
i already saw this hot plasma in spider man movie 💯🇵🇭
What is the reason for the masks??
What could possibly go wrong?
Another 20 to 30 year waiting period and then another…and so on!!! carlitos
@4:10 Richard hammond
Why didn,t they build it in the Netherlands, all is flat, easy to transport😂
commercial hydrogen comes from oil lol
but billions and more billions of conections move..
the program is cool for about 10 minutes i get bored really easy and when i feel the program is going to slow i quit
Quintillion and quintillion dollars business in magnetic
well we humans know an tree from like 50 years to 1200 years np
Plasma is not a gas
"A sudden move might jerk the entire Trailer in the wrong direction..." Yeah, like it's going to shoot off into the distance in a cloud of dust, stones and debris flying in all directions and dragging both Trucks with it, careening on and on pulverizing, crushing, tearing down and obliterating everything in its path, Town's and Villages evacuated, livestock moved out of the way, Homes abandoned and the Stock Market will crash, suicides escalate, pets are shot and bizarre Cults will storm Government officials Homes...... The whole drama thing just sounds so overwrought and ridiculous, the convoy is doing 8kph max at "difficult" stages, seriously, the suspense in the narration is just really cringe.
If people get offended, that is their problem. It means they are not in control of their own emotions and require someone else to regulate them for them.
Are you telling me that we for real are boiling up in planet earth 🌏 🌍 🌎 making fusion reactions now to power up the all country for free man this another league wacky mole dear fellow you guys did it 😉 😀 fabulous engineering 😀 😉 👏 😄 👍 very pretty damn wisely executed.
It's a long, long way before there will be fusion power plants
We can do fusing but it’s 100 yrs off, got to keep chipping away! 😱 Silver wings Apon myChest!!!!. 1 in 99 get their wings. 80% die something is wrong with this carrier path!!🤪
They repeatedly "rotate" the trucks but never once explain why! They explicitly said that this involved moving the front truck to the rear and vice versa. What difference could this possibly make? And how does it "change the angle"? Identical trucks have swapped places! Also, I am (or they are) confused about distances: Leg three is the longest at thirty-two kilometres, yet they are sixty-nine kilometres from their destination. 🍌🤔🤔
It is a 'push-me-pull-you ' !
is to balance the stress on the chasis due to pulling and pushing force.
It is so annoying. They keep talking as if fusion was a actually producing electricity on an industrial scale. If they make it viable it will be decades.
It is only annoying if you are ignorant. If you understand the order of the magnitude of an engineering and physics problem this is, you'd appreciate the amount of time it's taken us to reach this point.
Who is paying for this?
Should've used an Australian trucking company. We would've done it using one truck and trailer
the law in Europe is such that one truck cannot tow more than 250 tonnes GTW, thus for each multiple or part thereof of 250 tonnes requires an additional truck when it comes to on-highway use, outside of Europe them same trucks in some parts of the world on the public highway can run at up to 500 tonnes GTW per truck.
@@b101uk9 they probably would use two here as well. Have a look on here for Australian road train trucks and see how big they are. 👍
@@b101uk9 Yeah, Euro regulations....they like their control and rules !
@Walter in aus would have been closer to 5-7 trucks too much risk loosing traction and it looks way cooler
Is this not an Giant black hole for tossing away billions of dollars??? Not kidding billions of dollars........Feed Africa for 20 years..
Fusion would end Russian oil dependance.
The think the made good thing for humanity.the scientiste will destroy our world
And what about the third world countries, will they be able to afford this kind of technology? Will this type of fusion plant be adaptable to meet the energy/electricity needs of all the countries regardless of their economic and political conditions? In my opinion, I doubt it very much; and only rich countries might be able to afford it. carlitos
Eat the poor.
How about burning hydrogen for energy😊
That's basically what fusion is.
@@blockstacker5614 Burning hydrogen and fusion are completely different, fusion is a nuclear reaction in which 2 hydrogen nuclie fuses together to produce a helium nuclie, but burning hydrogen just involve hydrogen reacting with oxygen, which is very easy to achieve, but you need extreme high temperatures to achieve fusion, that is one of the things holding us back from using it as our primary source (generated by us) of energy.
not even close to the efficiency of just smashing together hydrogen
Why do the commentators ALWAYS promote the possible disaster. It get very tiresome.
Sure, smart people made these schematics but they made terrible mistakes thanks for low knowledge what to really expect. So, entire project is useless already
Not worth our Lives
What a waste
Yes i really hope this works cause these arabs countries are too highnon their horses.
China already success in simulatikn. France still on exoerimen.without any result
What a pathetic effort, Billions wasted, By the time it comes online the sun will fall onto the earth lol
Auntie family I'll be the last one
Heat is out the critical element of generation of electricity. We can generate electricity without fuel wind or water using the original Edison generators and dynamos power plants. A permanent magnet motor powering an array of brushless motors as generators with inverters and transformers to deliver high voltage AC power continuous peak power to power lines is the normal legal method of power generation. Heat of nuclear fusion power or fossil fuels is not needed for power generation. We are grossly misinformed about power generation and power use and this fusion power effort is a boondoggle and waste of money.
if u could make an Cold fusion reactor don't you think u need an Nova blast at least. Trying to maintain that if u can with some magnets?? Wow u need magnets that are like 1 billion times stronger than what we know. When the law of physics go out the door.. According to me we are doing firecracker's kind of experiment. In physics size matter u need an solar system size at least to contain and hold the forces in check. Trying on earth will just fail just to meager in power. Just know nature is an tricky business according to energy and mass.. Usually 0 or 1 .. 0 is not forming as anything.. 1 clumping to each other creating something.. like an sun or planet.. or life...To me life is movement. or kinetic energy Still equals dead..
and the decades long fusion pipe dream scam continues
They said the same about a man going to the moon and having rovers on Mars... Looks like it is not impossible after all. Why this one is? Better to spend money into this kind of projects that on wars.
Why a scam? Fusion is hard, but slowly progress is happening. Its a worthwhile goal
@@matgeezer2094 I'm sure you have no clue what you are talking about
@@mohammadhashemi1771 and you being rude says what?
@@black.phoenix. going to the moon only took 7 years after Kennedy speech. This money grab has been going on over 15 years. And there are plenty of other colliders out there. And you really don’t think fusion would be used as a weapon is hilarious. From what I’ve read about iter there not even 100% what there looking at and or it’s just theory’s of what should happen. That they made up!!
"its high tech here" okay, so it was designed by the government before the internet was invented, so im calling bullcrap. its not high tech, its just ridiculously expensive and overbudget
It is high tech ,requires complex technology to produce a tremendous amount for fusion to take place.
@@factsoverfeelings4326 that’s what they say! But big fancy buildings with super complicated machinery. Would be very easy to transfer vast amounts of wealth from the people of the countries running the scam.
@@Rubyranch393 Keep lying to yourself
@@factsoverfeelings4326 what else cost 65 billion and still isn’t done
@@Rubyranch393 Nuclear fusion is not a joke, it will take years until we develop all the aspects of the power plant to properly harness the energy.
Wonder how much coal natural gas and nuclear power it takes to run a device that will never make more power than it needs. Just another way to use taxed money to build this and pay millions in salary. We could use those funds in many more helpful ways.
Well said R R
Like what?
@@factsoverfeelings4326 Really? U should be able to name a few without thinking. Trolling? Or do u want his opinion on what he consider "more useful"? I may be over thinking, hit my head when I hit a million craters driving today lol. Roads are bad. Think I may have found a "more useful" way.
@@l3gendarylag805 Yes roads are important too, but imagine the next 50 years, If we run out of non-renwewable resources we won't have anything to build roads with. Nuclear fusion could potentially change the whole energy scenario since its almost unlimited clean energy. Plus the the potholes you are talking about depends on the government but the fusion reactor experiment is mostly funded privately.
A 65-year-old scam completely out of control. It produces billions of dollars but no electricity. I guess it's just who can rake in the most money and make the prettiest show.
Keep living the delusion
I dislike the sound of the French language.
You all r not thr First , think of stuff like this stop lying.
I may have watched this apart from the ridiculous music why do you fools think we want to listen to it ?
