Compact torus

A compact torus is a device that produces a highly controlled, stable magnetic field-shaped plasma, which is a hot, ionized gas. Unlike traditional fusion reactors that use large, complicated setups, a compact torus is small and efficient, containing the plasma in a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) form without requiring external magnets to maintain its shape. This configuration aims to facilitate fusion energy production—a process that powers the sun—by confining plasma more effectively, potentially allowing for cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
