lol okay. thanks for all your help anyway. well maybe my next thing will be to figure out how to build a mini superconductor :P

I think I understand what you're saying. thanks! a lot of good information :) I'd like to experiment with it myself with smaller electromagnets. see how powerful and small I can get, trying to compress a small amount of plasma with the most power possible. just something for fun. I know you...

okay I understand now. thanks. do you think it would be practical to create a very small model just for experiments? maybe it would be easier to sustain it then, and get an idea of how to sustain it easier in the larger one. or just use it for other purposes. also, I'm probably lazy asking...

why do they use such a huge machine like the tokamak to try and sustain fusion? wouldn't it be easier to build a really small one? I'm guessing it would be a lot easier to recreate the conditions of the sun's core (extreme temp./pressure), assuming that's the blueprint for fusion, in a small...

I guess what I meant was can you at all extract electrical power from a plasma field to power a circuit? after all plasma is electrically conductive and consists of free electrons in the field.

hey, I have a question, it might be really stupid, but I'm probably not as smart as any of you here. Anyway: if you had a sustained plasma field held in place, maybe spinning in a toroidal motion, is it possible to "harvest" free electrons from the field by an anode, and feed it back into the...
