Helion has developed a "colliding compression" approach in which two plasma masses collide at high speed from both ends, heating and compressing them to fusion conditions, and directly inducing a current through changes in the magnetic field.

UnverifiedThe tokamak is currently the most mainstream form of magnetic confinement fusion device, using strong magnetic fields to confine plasma at hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius in a toroidal chamber to induce fusion reactions between deuterium and tritium.62% similarUnverifiedTokamaks confine plasma using a toroidal magnetic field and the plasma's own current, have a relatively simple structure but tend toward pulsed operation and are prone to disruptions; stellarators rely on external coils to generate a three-dimensional helical magnetic field, are suitable for steady-state operation, but are more difficult and costly to manufacture.61% similarUnverifiedType-II superconductors (such as niobium, superconducting alloys, and most high-temperature superconductors) form a mixed state in a magnetic field, allowing magnetic flux to partially penetrate the material in the form of quantized vortices.61% similar
