So let's take a look at what this tokamak is like.

In the diagram, the reactor is a tokamak. Each side has two tokiks, each holding a small amount of plasma.

Now, to make it very easy to see, let's go through this diagram of tokamak's configuration.

To make a tokamak, you put a piece of aluminum (with holes in its center) into a small hole. The aluminum is sandwiched between two toks, which are on a side.

A tokamak is essentially a plasma-forming device.

To make a plasma-forming device, you need a high-pressure liquid.

This makes fusion a bit like a tokamak; it's a mix of plasma and liquid.

When you're in a hot fusion environment, you have to use the same pressure as the liquid to create a mixture of plasma and liquid.

But, what if you didn't have the pressure in place?

So what if you had a good mixture and pressure in place?

This is where you get to the problem with a tokamak.

The plasma and liquid that you want to fuse into a tokamak are separated.
