ETE (tokamak)

The Spherical Tokamak Experiment (Portuguese: ETE - Experimento Tokamak Esférico) is a machine dedicated to plasma studies in low aspect ratio tokamaks. The ETE was entirely designed and assembled at the Associated Plasma Laboratory (Laboratório Associado de Plasma, LAP) of Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE).[1][2][3][4]

Development

The ETE is a spherical tokamak with major radius of 0.3 m and minor radius of 0.2 m.[5] It began operations in late 2000.[2]

gollark: Apionautokohazards, which control fleets!
gollark: How about apionuktohazards, which are camouflaged somehow by removing visibility in an area around them??
gollark: Sounds good. But you need apionomohazards which can manipulate it.
gollark: Apio*oro*hazards, which climb mountains?
gollark: Apiotuchohazards, which are EXTREMELY LUCKY via RNG hax?
