Tokamak/Farnsworth fusor combination.
Would it work to make a tokamak shaped fusor, If so why don't they do that at ITER

Re: Tokamak/Farnsworth fusor combination.
A tokamak works at a vacuum many orders of magnitude below a fusor. Also, fusors do not use a magnetic field; the critical aspect is that a tokamak over comes the coulomb barrier by brute forces (very high ion temperature) and a fusor relays on a strange, and very, very rare effect called quantum tunneling. This effect does occur in a tokamka and produces no measurable energy and never will. You should read up on both devices - expecting people to answer questions that just require some minor reading isn't the proper way to learn ... .
