- Pointing a laser into a tokamak whilst it's running
I really enjoy learning strange facts and while i would never assume to be a "Smart" person i do have the power to ask.
So with a plasma fusion reactor like the tokamak or any other they have a viewing window to see the plasma bound in the toroidal magnetic field so what would happen if you were to point a laser pointer through the window and fire excited photons into the plasma?
Would you see them passing through the plasma, would they just be destroyed, would they be instantly adhered or bounced back by the magnetic field?
Cheers guys and girls
