Part 1 of 2
Animated illustration of birds, leaves in flight against colored background.
04:01:32 Title: Nuclear Spectrum USA - To Imitate The Sun
04:01:42 Pan skyline of city at night. CU cars past on pavement, city street, neon signs. Subway past in CU.
04:02:19 Workers assemble equipment seen thru chassis & hoses. CUs. Hoists moving large machined metal parts & assembling.
04:03:00 Coast & pan over rocks, waves, sun reflections on small waves, fishing boat in sunset.
04:03:51 Illustration of galaxy w/ dissolving shots towards stars. Animation of nucleii moving. Abstract patterns w/ physics equation over; movement of lines. VO talking about conditions needed for plasma fusion.
04:06:54 Animation of plasma inside lines & disappearing.
04:07:42 Man looking into instrument, adjusting. Large equipment w/ scientists & tecyhnicians working on & around them.
04:08:16 Fission reactor described & illustrated w/ animation.
04:08:52 Men assembling large machined metal structure. Men working at optical machine. Camera moving past fusion device w/ pipes. Chamber. Animated diagram showing how coil is wrapped to create magnetic field. Straight tube illlustrated w/ plasma moving in animation. Plasma likened to a ball rolling down a hill not moving at bottom; plasma in a magnetic well also doesn’t move. Drawing illustrating cancelling magnetic well or cage holding plasma.
04:12:01 Plasma stabilized w/ a twist, diagram showing wiring magnetic field. Mathematical equation.
04:13:04 Man working on large machine to create magnetic field. 2X mirror device illustrated w/ animation of plasma held & compressed.
04:14:26 Man painting ?? on large coil being wound. Movement over pipes & man adjusting w/ vapor off.
04:15:30 Diagram of Los Alamos fast high beta compression theta pinch. Animation of plasma compression.
04:15:55 Camera moving away from two technicians beside large machinery w/ coils. Laser interferograms.
04:16:55 Moving camera over very large machine w/ wiring, piping, etc. at Los Alamos w/ two technicians installling or adjusting equipment to create plasmas.
