This was a major undertaking, in part because of the sheer size of the neutral beam injection equipment. Physicists working at General David Pace on the DIII-D tokamak in U.S. have created a plasma heating mechanism that reduces damage to the interior of the tokamak, while also retaining more of the energy generated inside it. They spent two years working on varying the speed of neutral particles that helped reduce interaction with electromagnetic waves in the plasma, with successful results. Atomics , a physicist who led the project for General Atomics/The Engineer , said the team would now focus on demonstrating how "variable voltage beams can improve magnetic fusion".
