Plasma confinement devices

Plasma confinement devices are systems designed to contain extremely hot, ionized gases called plasma—used in nuclear fusion research—so they don’t touch the device's walls. Since the plasma reaches millions of degrees, it must be confined efficiently. This is achieved using strong magnetic fields that guide and hold the plasma in place, preventing energy loss and material damage. Types include tokamaks and stellarators, which use different magnetic configurations. The goal is to sustain fusion reactions to generate clean, limitless energy, mimicking the processes powering the sun.
