@hal what make it go vroom
strong magnetic fields in the spherical tokamak pinch and twist the superhot plasma, making it swirl along field lines to keep it from touching the walls and quenching the reaction. tokamak energy pushes 100 million degree temps with ohmic heating from merged fields plus neutral beams. green streaks trace impurities like lithium radiating inside.

There's chatter Cern is actually for experimentation into time travel. Said to be real, but hidden purpose of it all.
