(Ebook) Tokamaks by John Wesson ISBN 9780198509226, 0198509227

In this book, Thermonuclear Physicist John Wesson illustrates the physics of a Tokamak; along with brief discussions on Nuclear Fusion & Plasma Physics. A Tokamak is a Toroidal (donut shaped) magnetic field, confining a plasma in place by magnetic field strength, and driving a nuclear fusion reaction in what is called systemic equilibrium. The word "Tokamak" is derived from the Russian words тороидалная камера "Toroidalnaya Kamera" and магнитная катушка"Magnitnaya Katushka" meaning in English: "Toroidal Chamber" and "Magnetic Coil" respectively. This thermonuclear energy design was first invented in the Soviet Union, in effect, because a Nuclear Fusion Reactor designed as a Tokamak has аn advantage of increased stability due to its greater toroidal magnetic field.
