Shape, cross-section and relative sizes of the vacuum vessel of an ideal tokamak

Abstract

A tokamak is type of a practical fusion reactor that uses a magnetic field to hold plasma in the shape of a torus. Research has been conducted since the mid-50s of the last century, but it has still not been possible to carry out economically profitable thermonuclear fusion. The fundamental reason for the failure is the completely wrong approach to creating these reactors: in fact, the scientists arbitrarily choose the shape, cross-section, and relative sizes of a vacuum vessel. To implement cost-effective controlled fusion, it is necessary to change the shape and proportions of the vacuum vessel of tokamaks.
