Ectoplasmic Bagel. The magnetic containment devices most widely used in fusion experiments are called "tokamaks." Invented by Soviet scientists in the early 1960s, tokamaks are toruses, or doughnut-shaped chambers, surrounded by huge electromagnets. Gas is fed into the chamber and heated until it becomes a plasma. Powerful fields produced by the magnets hold the plasma and keep it from touching the chamber walls. The temperature of the plasma is raised closer to fusion temperatures by passing electric currents and shooting beams of high-energy atoms through it. With these techniques, tokamaks have come the closest of any magnetic device...

Aquasol has two ducts: one for the butane, one for a mixture of water and the product. They meet in a swirl chamber where, says Abplanalp, "the gas kind of explodes...
