To Imitate The Sun Part 2 of 2 Man inside machine (estron sp? concept) at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Diagram showing electrical charge induced between magnetic mirrors. 04:19:22 Pan across exterior of machine; man beside. Others placing current carrying rings. large Westinghouse symbol on machine w/ control panel. Movement around an internal ring device, the Low Beta Direct Current Optipole (?) device at Gulf Energy & Environmental Systems, San Diego. Illustration of operation w/ metal rings suspended in vacuum chamber confining plasma. 04:21:18 Man testing ?? on outside of machine w/ glow seen beneath; machine steaming or ?? 04:21:54 Extremely polished rod moving up & down into levitated superconductor ring. 04:22:21 Diagram of Spherator, Princeton University w/ cross section & animation of plasma. 04:22:56 Early version w/ internal ring supported by hangers seen from above. CU man working on machine, test panel. 04:23:22 MCU SOF man talking about what they are going to try to improve things over USSR Soviet tokamak which is similar to stellarator. Diagram shown of both unsymetrical stellarator & symetrical tokamak. 04:24:55 Model C stellarator being converted from race track shape to a seven foot diameter circular tokamak. Model C tokamak at Princeton became operational May 1970 as first in United States. 04:25:12 SOF Men at control panel, CU & MS talking about its operation. Taking polaroid or ?? picture. Viewing through eyepiece & recording instants. Overhead of men working on large base of Oak Ridge Ormak system to study tokamak plasma loss. Diagram. 04:27:12 Man working on very heavy duty reactor housing. 04:27:46 Diagram deuterium, tritium, helium cycle & others as options for fusion. Cross section of plasma reactor operation illustrated & described by narration. Fusion reactor shown in illustration w/ cars giving size reference. 04:30:25 Man at windings, others w/ blueprints, viewing scope, etc. CUs. End credits.
