Nuclear fusion, explained for beginners

Totally wrong... If there is not a process to actively remove the waste product, Helium, all it is, is a money grab for research dollars.  Oh, and if you two really want to know, there is a fourth method that does actually work. Think of how you would create artificial gravity and how you could use that to remove the waste product while containing the continuous process inside of it using atmosphere pressure or slightly above. Oh, and another hint, hydrogen fusion using regular hydrogen from water becomes self-stable at about ~4,000C at ~1atm, didn't have equipment to get a 6-sigma reading, so it is only an educated estimate from the equipment available, where stopping the fusion process is either rapid disassembly of the device or letting it run out of fuel at about 18 to 30 hours once it reaches 4,000C. In between 4,000C and 6,000C the device will start producing electricity all on its own and stay clear of a path to earth ground.   At 6,000C there is no stopping the reaction other than rapid disassembly and an Oh $#!+ moment of what you can actually use that device for as a 100lb S1 container of liquid hydrogen at AirGas supply is about $600 last time I checked, and capping the device from the process of removing helium and dumping that S1 container into the fusion process as fast as possible, will get you a *boom* that will twice level any city on the planet. I'll be waiting for the 30-mile-wide crater being developed on the southern part of California in the coming weeks. You might do us all a favor. You will be #6 and #7 that finally figures it out. I hope you take it to your grave, if you survive the 30-mile-wide boom. Oh, and using magnetic confinement of actual protons is not possible, the only thing the tokomak is confining is electrons which are not fusible and those confined electrons moving at high rates of speed are only heating the protons that those closest to the electrons that are rapidly spinning by. If any fusion is actually happening, is it is only by luck, as the helium is more likely to get stuck to that beam than hydrogen, for the same reason that helium can be superconducting, and hydrogen can't.  Best of luck.
