Stellarator

In the 2060s, this stellar generator will be one of the devices intended for energy production. The artist has designed it in a reduced format compared to the prototypes currently under study. The ratio of miniaturization with the real installation is about 1/10.

Stellarator is thus inspired by a mini nuclear reactor in the making. The aluminium revolution solids stack is surrounded by poloidal coils. Their blue mosaic facing suggests a production of energy proportional to the number of cores present.

Located at the top, the remotely controlled lighting evokes the resulting electrical energy or the product of a radioactive plasma containment.

On the artistic level, the design of the work is based on a work of flexible and rounded forms. The chosen metal and the cold tonality of the white light combine coherently.

With this Stellarator, whose functional considerations are implied, Philippe Fares tries to make us aware of the problem of the planet’s energy resources. The relative instability of the coils, however, hinders the advent of these industrial reactors.

Within forty years or so, the scientific community is confident that the problems inherent to the operation of the Stellarator will be solved. A new energy area will then open up…
