A stellarator is a fusion power device that confines plasma using external magnets. It is one of many types of magnetic confinement fusion devices, and among the first to be invented. The name "stella

A tokamak is a machine which uses a powerful magnetic field generated by external magnets to confine plasma in the shape of an axially symmetrical torus. The tokamak is the leading candidate of magnet
Stellarator
…Spitzer was convinced that the stellarator was matching the Bohm diffusion rate, which suggested it would never be a practical fusion device. The USSR's tokamak design augured a leap in performance. PPPL converted the Model C stellarator to the Symmetrical Tokamak (ST) to confirm or deny its results. ST surpassed…
