During commissioning in 2021, a short circuit in the poloidal field coils caused a lengthy ... know-how and experience long before that tokamak will generate its first plasma.
How a tokamak works: The electric field induced by a transformer drives a current (big red arrows) through the plasma column. This generates a poloidal magnetic field that bends the plasma current ...
SMART (Small Aspect Ratio Tokamak), the world’s only fusion reactor with ‘negative triangularity’ constructed at the University of Sevilla in Spain, produced its first plasma. This is an ...
A tokamak device, jointly developed by Japan ... which is the main magnetic field, with a radial poloidal magnetic field created by passing a circumferential current in the plasma.
