- ITER A proposed international experimental fusion reactor based on the tokamak concept. ITER's mission is to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy for peaceful purposes.
- Joint European Torus (JET) The world's largest magnetic confinement fusion experiment. News, fusion basics, and scientific information. Culham, United Kingdom.
- Large Helical Device (LHD) The largest current fusion experiment based on the stellarator concept. Located at NIFS, Japan. The mission of the LHD project is to develop a scientific basis for stellarator fusion reactor. An important feature in the LHD design is a high magnetic field of 3-4 Tesla produced by superconducting magnets.
- IGNITOR A proposed next-step fusion experiment to study burning plasma physics in a relatively small device.
- HBT-EP Tokamak Experiment at the Columbia University Plasma Physics Laboratory to demonstrate the feasibility of a high-beta tokamak stabilized by a combination of a close-fitting conducting wall, plasma rotation, and active feedback.
- Spheromak The spheromak is a toroidal magnetic confinement concept where no toroidal magnetic field coils link the torus. The magnetic field is generated primarily by plasma currents.
- PEGASUS Toroidal Experiment Extremely low-aspect-ratio tokamak experiment at the Department of Engineering Physics, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
- Fusion Plasma Physics at KTH (Sweden) Plasma physics program at The Royal Institute of Technology (Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan).
