Stars in a bottle: can we ever create a fusion reactor?

"U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, PPPL scientists developed a new way to improve stellarator performance by using a proxy function to optimize magnetic fields, bringing fusion energy a step closer to reality.

The fusion reaction is a very common thing in the universe. Stars get their energy from it. The biggest problem with fusion on Earth is how to handle the energy that fusion ignition forms. The energy that forms in the fusion reaction is enormous. The ignition sends energy waves away from that point, and that energy wave breaks the plasma. 

Maybe, it's possible to handle that energy. By making a hole or energy pothole in the middle of the plasma. That means there must be some lower energy point in the plasma structure. And then another thing that the system must do is to make the fusion ignition on the plasma shell. In that case, the fusion ignition sends energy into the middle of the plasma. 

Then there should be something that transports energy out of the middle of the plasma. To keep the plasma in the right form. That system is hard to make in Tokamak. If we want to replace the plasma donut by using the ball-shaped fusion material that can turn the system functional. The idea is that the system looks like the structure of the sun or other stars. There can be two internal plasma structures. The system makes ignition in both of those plasma structures at the same time. 

That creates two impacting energy waves.  Some kind of thermal pump must start to transmit energy out. From the middle of the system. 

In a ball-shaped fusion structure, the laser beam can transport energy out of the middle of the ball. That makes the situation that energy travels in the middle of the plasma structure. And that makes a vacuum that should keep the plasma ball in the right form. Making that kind of energy vacuum in the plasma donut in the Tokamak is one of the most critical things. 

Ion-anion collisions can make it possible to create systems that require lower energy levels than Tokamak. The system looks like "Y"-shaped tubes there the accelerators that accelerate ions and anions shoot them against each other. That system can boost the energy level using lasers. And that is one version of the pulsed plasma systems.

But how to keep the ion ring in its shape? 

So can the electron beam be the answer? The idea is that the ring-shaped electron ring keeps plasma in its form. 

The idea is that the low-energy electrons are injected into the Tokamak same time as the plasma ring. Or the system uses two internal plasma rings with different energy levels. Then the system raises the energy of that outer plasma ring. And then that system sends the opposite polar particles to the plasma. So if the plasma is anion plasma. The system sends ions into the chamber.  Or the ion plasma requires anion injection. That can be from the fusion injection of the plasma ring's shell. 

There is also the possibility to use ion and anion ring series to create fusion. When the temperature is high enough those anion and ion donuts can impact each other. The problem is that those systems require a temperature that is higher than the temperature in the sun. The system must keep plasma away from the walls of the chambers.
