A tokamak (/ ˈ t oʊ k ə m æ k /; Russian: токамáк) is a device which uses a powerful magnetic field generated by external magnets to confine plasma in the shape of an axially symmetrical …

A tokamak is a machine that confines a plasma using magnetic fields in a donut shape that scientists call a torus. Fusion energy scientists believe that tokamaks are the leading plasma …

Fusion reactors such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ITER use a tokamak, which is a combination of magnets that make a toroidal field and poloidal field. The …

The tokamak is an experimental machine designed to harness the energy of fusion; inside a tokamak, a fusion plasma is created and confined by strong magnetic fields. The energy …

When creating plasma in a tokamak, first the toroidal and poloidal magnetic fields are switched on. Then the gas, mainly hydrogen, is puffed in. The gas is mostly neutral, so few ions are …

A tokamak is a type of thermonuclear reactor that uses magnetic confinement and currently represents one of the most advanced technologies for mastering thermonuclear fusion. The …

Dec 21, 2024 · A tokamak is a device designed to harness nuclear fusion, the reaction that powers the sun and all the stars. In a tokamak, magnetic field coils confine plasma to achieve …

A tokamak is a toroidal (donut-shaped) magnetic confinement device for plasma, first conceptual-ized by Andrei Sakharov and Igor Tamm (see Figure 1) in the 1950s.
