  "WHTSAM"?

    Yeah didn’t you know you can just leave out whatever letters aren’t convenient for your backronym?

      They style it "Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror" so seeing it like that, the acronym works.-

      In Wisconsin, you can also have more lakes by just defining smaller bodies of waters as lakes.

  10 million is chump change. I can't afford it myself, but there are a lot of houses around here that cost less.

  It'd be interesting if even older fusion ideas like magnetic mirrors work fine if you just pair them with sufficiently powerful magnets that we did not have the technology to build back when we first tested them out.

  17T magnets are insane. Like, if you thought a MRI magnet is strong, these are several times stronger.
