Konspekt:

A serious lecture in a playful form about the future of energy harvesting. The lecture will be composed of several topics expressed as a list of the following questions:

▪ Why do we want to ignite a star on Earth? 
In this lecture, you will investigate the reasons why we will need soon a star on Earth. (2h)

▪ Which requirements should be fulfilled to achieve nuclear fusion in a star on Earth?
Here we will discuss which conditions must be met in our star on Earth. (1h)

▪ Rutherford’s problem – is it possible to discover the energetic Eldorado in a very simple way?
In this lecture, we will show that unfortunately we cannot use an accelerator to achieve the energetic Eldorado.  (1h)

▪ Let there be plasma! Plasma: what is it and how to think about it? 
Here we will show that plasma is not only in a TV screen. (1h)

▪ How to use the plasma properties to confine our star on Earth? 
In this lecture, we will explore the idea of plasma confinement. (1h)

▪ Have you ever seen a toroidal star? 
Here we will investigate the idea of toroidal magnetic confinement devices. (2h)

▪ How to design a thermometer for our star on Earth?
Here we will discuss about possible diagnostic methods for our star on Earth. (2h)

▪ Is it real? The ITER project: modern Tower of Babel or new energetic Eldorado?
In this lecture, we will present future plans for the construction of a star on Earth.  (2h)
