_Info

Google DeepMind reached out to again, this time to help them create an animation explaining fusion energy. I was thrilled to collaborate with them on this project, bringing in animation to their cutting-edge research.

_Concept

To bring this complex concept to life, we employed a 3D animation process that focused on simplicity and clarity. By visualizing the AI's role in controlling the magnetic fields, we were able to make the process of plasma stabilization more intuitive.

The animation highlights the intricate dance between AI, magnets, and plasma, showcasing how AI's precision allows for longer, more stable fusion reactions.

_What is Fusion Energy

Imagine harnessing the power source of the stars! Fusion energy offers the potential for clean and abundant power by fusing hydrogen atoms, just like the sun. To achieve this on Earth, scientists use tokamaks – donut-shaped devices that contain superheated hydrogen plasma. The challenge? Keeping this incredibly hot plasma stable.
