Large Helical Device (LHD) - http://www.lhd.nifs.ac.jp/
The largest current fusion experiment based on the stellarator concept. Located at NIFS, Japan. The mission of the LHD project is to develop a scientific basis for stellarator fusion reactor. An important feature in the LHD design is a high magnetic field of 3-4 Tesla produced by superconducting magnets. |

Compass-D - http://www.fusion.org.uk/culham/compass.htm
Highly flexible, medium-sized tokamak that has been specifically designed to address the key physics issues associated with magnetic confinement fusion. It plays a major role in the co-ordinated European fusion programme and is funded by the DTI and EURATOM, with additional support from EPSRC and various schemes for student grants. |

Spheromak - http://www-ferp.ucsd.edu/PUBLIC/AC-PANEL/REC-DOCS/W-PAPERS/spher.html
The spheromak is a toroidal magnetic confinement concept where no toroidal magnetic field coils link the torus. The magnetic field is generated primarily by plasma currents. |
