This approach to
fusion differs from experiments on the NSTX - U, which confines low - density plasma in
magnetic fields to
produce fusion reactions.
Physicist Sam Lazerson of the US Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has teamed with German scientists to confirm that the Wendelstein 7 - X
fusion energy device called a stellarator in Greifswald, Germany,
produces high - quality
magnetic fields that are consistent with their complex design.
Plasma churns and pulls in different directions around the sun, and the enormous heat
produced by the nuclear
fusion at the core plays along these currents to create
magnetic fields.
