ITER has devised the technology that could unlock fusion energy, and they've done so with the aid of a 60-foot magnet. Here's ...

With their innovative design, tokamak reactors are leading the charge in fusion research, aiming to unlock the potential of ...

It does this by dumping the toroidal field in favor of a linear one that is based on what is called the Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) principle. The Norm reactor. TAE TEchnologies.

The toroidal field coils will operate together, in effect, as a single magnet: the most powerful magnet ever made. They will generate a total magnetic energy of 41 gigajoules.

The 19-foot toroidal field (TF) magnet carries up to 4 million amps of electric current to stabilize and confine the superhot plasma in fusion experiments.

ITER’s toroidal field coils—the experiment’s magnets—will be cooled to just -452.2 degrees Fahrenheit (-269 degrees Celsius), making them superconductive.

The test also demonstrated that the CSMC could create a magnetic field of 5.7 Tesla, about 100,000 times stronger than Earth’s. It also reached a record for stored energy, reaching 3.7 megajoules.

But in a toroidal coil, the field lines go around the core, back to the start without exiting the toroid. Any turn, forms a full loop – because the rest of the circuit, ...

Earlier this week, the ITER Organization announced that the tokamak’s toroidal field coils—very large magnets that help provide the conditions necessary for the machine to hold plasma—had ...

Toroidal Field Coils (D-shaped magnets, completed in late 2023) Each coil: 17 meters high × 9 meters wide Weight: ~360 tonnes each Fabricated in Europe (Italy) and Japan ...
