The ingredients needed for fusion to take place are explained using the sun as an example. The fusion done on the sun is compared to what we can do on earth. The concepts of Temperature, Density and Confinement Time are explained with examples and demonstrations. Evolution of fusion reactions over time which may be possible. How magnetic fields are used to confine plasmas in both tokamaks and stellarators. Visit to the Hybrid Illinois Device for Research and Applications (HIDRA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Detailed view of the confined plasma in a magnetic bottle.
