Flat magnets for fusion reactors tested
MIT and Thea Energy are testing a new flat superconducting magnet to simplify fusion power. The test checks if the device handles the extreme magnetic fields required to trap plasma. 🧲
Traditional fusion magnets use complex, expensive 3D shapes. This new design uses 12 encircling coils and 300 shaping magnets to make construction and maintenance easier for future power plants.
