الإنجليزية - الإنجليزية

تعريف tokamak في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.

A toroidal chamber in which a plasma is magnetically confined; used in nuclear fusion research

a doughnut-shaped chamber used in fusion research; a plasma is heated and confined in a magnetic bottle

Device used in nuclear-fusion research for magnetic confinement of plasma. It consists of a complex system of magnetic fields that confine the plasma of reactive charged particles in a hollow, doughnut-shaped container. The tokamak (an acronym from the Russian words for toroidal magnetic confinement) was developed in the mid-1960s by Soviet plasma physicists. It produces the highest plasma temperatures, densities, and confinement durations of any confinement device
