But have they made any strides in manufacturing tokamaks, or are they still insanely difficult to build?
This superconductor breakthrough also seems relevant to Stellarators such as Germany's new(ish) Wendelstein 7x: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendelstein_7-X https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendelstein_7-X
- Nomentatus 9y agoWell, this is the stride. If I remember (I watched the video weeks ago) building them smaller, with the steel part of the tape doing a lot of the work means you can build and swap modules to create a far smaller tokamok or stellerator that you can immerse. The same topologies can and would be used - perhaps with more stable containment (for reasons I forget.)
