The primary goal of magnetic confinement fusion is to harness the energy released from nuclear fusion reactions to generate electricity.

The most common type of magnetic confinement fusion device is the tokamak, which uses a toroidal magnetic field to confine the plasma.

Achieving magnetic confinement fusion requires overcoming several challenges, including achieving sufficiently high plasma temperatures, maintaining plasma stability, and preventing plasma-wall interactions.

The Lawson criterion is a mathematical expression that describes the conditions necessary for achieving ignition in a fusion reactor, where the fusion reactions produce enough energy to sustain themselves.

Magnetic confinement fusion uses a magnetic field to confine the plasma, while inertial confinement fusion uses a high-power laser or particle beam to compress and heat the plasma. Magnetic confinement fusion is a continuous process, while inertial confinement fusion is a pulsed process. Magnetic confinement fusion is more efficient than inertial confinement fusion.

Magnetic confinement fusion has the potential to produce a continuous and steady flow of energy, is more efficient than other fusion approaches, and is more environmentally friendly than other fusion approaches.

The main challenges that need to be overcome before magnetic confinement fusion can be used to generate electricity on a commercial scale include achieving sufficiently high plasma temperatures, maintaining plasma stability, preventing plasma-wall interactions, and developing materials that can withstand the harsh conditions inside a fusion reactor.

The ITER project is an international collaboration to build and operate the world's largest magnetic confinement fusion device, which aims to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion energy on a commercial scale.

The ITER project is expected to be completed in 2035.

The divertor in a tokamak serves multiple purposes, including removing impurities from the plasma, controlling the plasma density, and protecting the walls of the tokamak from the high-energy plasma.

Magnetic coils in a tokamak serve multiple roles, including confining the plasma, heating the plasma, and driving electric currents in the plasma.

The main fuels used in magnetic confinement fusion experiments are deuterium, tritium, and helium-3.

The primary reactions that take place in magnetic confinement fusion experiments are deuterium-deuterium fusion, deuterium-tritium fusion, and helium-3 fusion.

The main products of magnetic confinement fusion reactions are helium, neutrons, and energy.

Magnetic confinement fusion has the potential to provide a clean, safe, and virtually limitless source of energy, but it is still in its early stages of development and there are many challenges that need to be overcome before it can be used to generate electricity on a commercial scale.
