This is a very informative post to understand what happens inside the tokamak plasma chamber. Thank you for your sharing. I have little question here:
- The heating up makes them lose electrons which makes them ionized and charged. This charge forces them to get caught by the magnetic field which forces them back onto the wall. In the case of W this happens very quickly and very near the erosion zone. This means that the wall has some self-regenerating ability.*
Is this self-regenerating ability a wanted thing for us? And can we control it by changing some kind of process parameters? As I understand from the text it is a kind of preventing way against the erosion?! Am I right?
This is definitly wanted. First if the material atoms find themselves in the core plasma they radiate geat through photond ehich means that thr plasma will get cooled.
The second reason is that this just as you have said reduces the overall erosion.
Thank you for the answer. I am going to be following on your new posts about these subjects.
Well I am very glad you like my writing.
