This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape

Cars That Think

Compact tokamaks like CFS’s could reverse the developmental trends that have dominated the last 40 years of fusion energy, which have fixated on building bigger and bigger machines. The largest by far is Iter , a collaborative international effort to build a massive tokamak in Cadarache, France. But that’s not going to happen.
