Visiting the Fusion Reactor

Posted on September 23, 2010

Yesterday we headed to MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center. We started the tour by looking at real Plasma and how a magnetic field can change the direction of it.

This is the room that houses the fusion reactor.

Here is a one-to-one model of the screw that holds the reactor together. 3 of these screws can hold a spaceship to the ground.
