Tricky Balance. Leakproof magnetic bottles, Physicist Teller pointed out, are not easy to construct.

The reaction would release energy and raise the temperature, so the magnetic field must grow stronger when necessary to keep things in balance. Power must be drawn out of the system without disturbing its tricky balance...
