Tokamak is Russian for magnetic bottle and is one method being explored for thermonuclear fusion containment.
Yeah, but it's not a literal bottle.
Well that depends what you think defines a bottle
And that is a perfect example of a containment system with insurmountable problems.
I'll bite. What problems are insurmountable?
Containment. How many times do i have to say that?
I read the whole thread and didn't see you mention it. Anyways, there were some promising improvements on that a while ago with new shapes for the plasma to hold that are easier to contain. That's also only an issue for reactors that use sustained plasma instead of short-fire bursts.
