Joint European Torus (JET)
- The world's largest magnetic confinement fusion experiment. News, fusion basics, and scientific information. Culham, United Kingdom.
- Korean superconducting tokamak advanced research project is a superconducting tokamak facility for controlled fusion research. First plasma was obtained in 2008. One of the main goals is long-pulse non-inductive plasma heating and current drive.
Large Helical Device (LHD)
- The largest current fusion experiment based on the stellarator concept. Located at NIFS, Japan. The mission of the LHD project is to develop a scientific basis for stellarator fusion reactor. An important feature in the LHD design is a high magnetic field of 3-4 Tesla produced by superconducting magnets.
Magnetic Confinement Fusion
- Article from Wikipedia on the generation of energy using magnetic fields to confine the fusion fuel in the form of a plasma.
- Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak experiment at Culham, UK, with information on MAST research, its history and planned upgrades, as well as links to other fusion research experiments in Europe.
PEGASUS Toroidal Experiment
- Extremely low-aspect-ratio tokamak experiment at the Department of Engineering Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
- A project to explore the quasi-poloidal approach to compact stellarators. Project reports and reviews.
- Describes the concept and its development.
- The spheromak is a toroidal magnetic confinement concept where no toroidal magnetic field coils link the torus. The magnetic field is generated primarily by plasma currents.
