Dumb question, but is the basic idea that you need to harvest more heat energy from the plasma than is needed to maintain the magnetic field?
Also, very dumb question but the plasma means that fusion is actually occuring, right?
And does anyone know how this one collects the heat and converts it into electricity or whatever?
Or any other fusion device, how does it actually collect or output energy from the fusion. And how much do they make, and how far off is that from matching the input power?
Maybe it was some protons escaping from the plasma and hearing something external or something.
