  According to the developers, as cited by Chinese media,
  the HH70 tokamak is smaller and cheaper to assemble than its
  predecessors.
  The device uses a magnetic system made from high-temperature
  superconducting material,
  commonly known as REBCO (Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide).
 
  It can reportedly be manufactured on a large scale,
  reducing the cost of Energy Singularity?s tokamaks.
  Moreover, the HH70 device, according to the company,
  is only 2% the size of conventional tokamaks  ? providing a major
  advantage in the race to produce a commercially viable device.

Well that's it for ITER then!
 
 

A plasma discharge is a breakthrough? I can do that in my microwave

Stick an NE-2 neon bulb in the microwave!

Grapes are cheaper and work just as well for this kind of demo.

The neon indicates faster. I wanted to see how fast the magnetron
turns on.
