Still if it is connected to our magnetosphere, which it is for sure, we maybe shouldn't heat it, but it could be the answer to cold fusion? And I am leaning far out of the window saying this.
So just ignore, because I should probably shut up and learn more before my sci-fi fantasies run wild....

A Tokomak is a containment environment for a high energy plasma.
The LHC is a number of accelerators and sensors that collide particles and look at the remnants.
Both are significantly different than each other.
The goal of ITER is to produce a sustainable fusion reaction in a captive plasma with more energy output than input (potentially for energy generation purposes), not to probe the nature of reality as does the LHC.
Your assumption that they are the same is likely the source of your confusion.
As for CERN in these times, let the privateers pay for waving their Bosons about!

old facts.
The magnetic grid controls this.
Funny how ppl go crazy over something they can't see.

Plasma tubes eh? Wonder what they be good for?
Maybe like a big television screen projecting things to earth that don't exist.. ?
What? No...Just no. First of all, just because the word 'plasma' is involved doesn't make this phenomenon "like a big television screen". At all. Secondly, plasma television screens don't 'project' anything. Thirdly, did you even read the linked article?
Edit: 1,000th post! Woohoo!

I exhausted myself doing research on the Sun and how it as well as our planet are connected. The changes we see could very well be with our place in the Solar System. It's like we are moving back to where we began. .. to the beginning. Solar weather is as important as local. We will all realize that sooner than later. It will be the norm.
Oh ETA: see my signature hope ya enjoy the read

The same electric universe that was recently destroyed by actual observations made on an actual comet? I think not.
Awesome story, I hope they win some awards.

They are both containment for high energy particles.
I didn't say they were the same when the purposes are the opposite, I was talking about the containment.
My confusion, is about the huge amount of money involved, and the politics behind that again, and a lack of commonality by way of these bespoke projects, each of which could end up as dead ducks, especially ITER, with $20billion and rising which could end up down the swanee, when there are other fusion projects already ongoing like the National Ignition Facility, Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) which use lasers as a tool for fusion, and are not magnetic confinement instruments.
Al this when much of the world is in austerity economies, with little sign of it ending. It would be great if ITER worked in ten years time, but still it would be decades before something came on line. If the laser guys are ahead though?

uh... I think I may have recorded a plasma tube using solar obliteration technique.... please tell me what you think
