- computerdork 2y agoAm no physicist, but was wondering about that. Thought this was all done before by different fusion companies?
- baking 2y agoST40 does not use HTS magnets. The magnets are made from copper and LN2 cooled. The company is demoing HTS magnets but has not used them in a working tokamak.
- physicistphil 2y agoST25 HTS did as far as I can tell — unless TE are lying, but that seems improbable.
- scotty79 2y agoST25 was a "desktop tokamak" measuring 25cm in diameter.
- noobermin 2y agoThe point is the high temperature superconducting magnets. Creating a tokamak plasma is not novel.
