Hey! Leave the LHC outta this. We're just over there quietly make teeny tiny black holes.... nothing to see move along. These aren't the multi-dimensional portals you are looking for...

That funky Mobius strip magnetic bottle thingy looks cool though... even cooler if it works.  O0

Must've been The Mist I was thinking of.

The article mentions this design being better than Tokamak fusion reactors. What happens to the Tokamaks after running too long? Do they self destruct or just kind of run down and stop?

The magnetic fields are so strong that they distort the containment and then the fields distort and it auto shuts down. This only takes a short time...
