3-Second Blueprint (English)

  1. Conventional tokamaks drive massive electric currents through toroidal plasma, risking sudden current disruptions that strike reactor walls.
  2. Stellarators use twisted 3D external magnet coils to confine superheated plasma without internal plasma current, preventing disruptions.
  3. Tens of thousands of supercomputer simulations solved the complex 3D coil geometry, enabling prototypes on retired coal-plant grid sites.

3-Sekunden-Fazit (Deutsch)

  1. Klassische Tokamaks leiten enorme Ströme durch das Plasma, wobei plötzliche Stromabbrüche das Plasma gegen die Reaktorwand schleudern.
  2. Stellaratoren formen das Magnetfeld durch verdrillte 3D-Spulen von außen und benötigen keinen eigenen Plasmastrom für stabilen Betrieb.
  3. Zehntausende Supercomputer-Simulationen lösten die komplexe Spulengeometrie und ermöglichen Fusionsanlagen an alten Kraftwerksnetzen.
