Wow - beautiful. So there is hope! As someone unfamiliar with the challenges of mechanical engineering, I’ve often wondered at the complexity of fusion reactors. This picture puts a lot into perspective. Thanks for sharing!


Current fusion reactors are also studded with a ton of sensors and adjustments and injection ports and such that might not be present in a production reactor. They are experimental platforms, more like scientific instruments for studying the problem domain than production systems.
