STEP stands for spherical tokamak for energy production.
- STEP stands for spherical tokamak for energy production.
- But in those tokamaks, the plasma tends to go unstable rather quickly, which is a huge problem.
- It's called Eter ITER, which means the way or just means the International Tokamak Experimental Reactor, if you like.
- So to talk about magnets, I would like to welcome Ed guys and Anna Hills from Tokamak Energy.
Examples
-
The design of a tokamak allows for the effective confinement of plasma, making it crucial for successful fusion experiments.
-
A tokamak is a chamber shaped like a donut, designed to accommodate the magnetic fields needed to contain the plasma.

Etymology
Tokamak comes from a Russian abbreviation meaning 'toroidal chamber with magnetic coils'. In simple words, that is a 'doughnut-shaped chamber with magnets', so a tokamak is the round device that uses magnetic coils to hold very hot plasma for fusion research.
