Tokamak Reactors
A Tokamak reactor is a device designed to produce nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun. It uses powerful magnetic fields to confine and heat a plasma—an extremely hot gas made of charged particles—to temperatures over 100 million degrees Celsius. At these temperatures, atomic nuclei combine to form heavier elements, releasing vast amounts of energy. This energy could potentially provide a cleaner and virtually limitless source of power. Tokamak reactors are a leading approach in fusion research, aiming to replicate the sun's energy generation on Earth.
