The central horizontal torus (scientific word for a doughnut shape) is a ring-shaped aluminum vacuum chamber with a 39-in. bore. The two vertical doughnuts linked into it are the iron cores of a transformer. When a small amount of deuterium gas is fed into the evacuated torus and a heavy electric current is shot through the transformer, an even heavier current (this is how transformers work) flows in a circle...
