“PPPL researchers say their simpler machine demonstrates a way to build stellarators far more cheaply and quickly, allowing researchers to easily test new concepts for future fusion power plants.” This quote reminded of the SpaceX’s approach to engineering and why they have leapfrogged past Boeing. Instead of spending 10-20 years and billions into a single design, SpaceX iterates.
