Detailed diagram of a nuclear fusion reactor (tokamak) illustrating plasma, magnetic fields, and energy balance.

At the center of the diagram, show a tokamak, a large donut-shaped machine. Inside the tokamak, represent a ring of plasma, glowing to show its extremely high temperature. The plasma is made of two hydrogen isotopes: deuterium and tritium. Arrows can show these nuclei moving toward each other. When they collide, they fuse and form a helium nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy release can be labeled with E = mc². Around the plasma, draw powerful magnetic fields created by superconducting magnets. These magnetic field lines keep the plasma suspended in the center of the tokamak so it never touches the walls. Indicate the temperature of 150 million degrees Celsius, explaining that at this temperature matter becomes plasma, not solid, liquid, or gas. Finally, add a note showing the energy balance: 50 MW of energy is injected into the system, and 500 MW of energy is produced by fusion, demonstrating that fusion can generate ten times more energy than it consumes.
