Prague's Institute of Plasma Physics will have played an important role in making it a reality...So inside the tokamak there is something like the tyre of a car, and around it are many coils in all directions. And then you fill it with hydrogen and

Nuclear fusion can be created using hydrogen isotopes extracted from seawater...Just fuse some nuclei together and the mass converts to energy and presents as heat. That heat will be used to turn water to steam, the steam will make the turbines go,
