Looking inside the belly of the beast, with the molybdenum armor tiles on the wall.
This Tokamak plasma fusion ring supports the steepest temperature gradient in the solar system (1 million degrees to room temp within 2mm)!
“The high-field – up to 160,000 times the Earth’s magnetic field – allows the small device to create the dense, hot plasmas, which are greater than 100 million degrees, prototypical of what is envisioned in a fusion reactor. C-Mod holds the record for highest volume average plasma pressure in a magnetic confinement device, which is an important metric for fusion performance.” — PSFC at MIT
"They developed a new type of nuclear fusion fuel that produces ten times as much energy from energized ions as previously achieved. The experiments with the new fusion fuel, which contains three types of ions were conducted in MIT’s Alcator C-Mod tokamak, a magnetic confinement reactor that holds the records for highest magnetic field strength and highest plasma pressure in a fusion experiment." —
