Heliotron E

Heliotron E is a type of advanced fusion research device designed to study how to generate energy by mimicking the sun’s nuclear reactions. It uses strong magnetic fields to confine super-hot plasma—a state of matter where electrons are separated from nuclei—so that nuclear fusion can occur safely and efficiently on Earth. Unlike traditional tokamaks, Heliotron E employs a unique magnetic configuration called helical fields, which help stabilize the plasma. This research aims to improve our understanding of fusion reactions, potentially paving the way for clean, abundant energy in the future.
