- slashdot2008 5y agoit ran for 101 seconds at .... 120,000,000 DEGREES CELCIUS!! for comparison the sun is 15,000,000 degrees C. I wonder how they measure a temperature that high.

- sien 5y agoThese videos goes over various methods: How do we measure 15 million degrees? (from Tokomak Energy (4:34)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p77af1ZivgA&t=57s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p77af1ZivgA&t=57s And this longer one from UKAEA (55 minutes) Hotter than the sun and lighter than air; measuring the extreme conditions of fusion plasma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vms8JEky-Bo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vms8JEky-Bo Spectroscopy and laser measurements and other measures are used. The engineering and science in fusion research is amazing.
