Stellarators do not solve the problem, they would heat evenly too. (TRIZ drums) What is needed is some sort of "abblative" migrating system, that leaves behind its heat to harvest, while the fusion process travels onwards, stressing other rejuvinated parts of the containement vessel. Basically, a series of reactors, pumping the plasma in circles once ignited.

Or we dump the whole idea, call it a day and pump all the money into musks larange solar power plant. Which ironically is a fusion containement in the distance power scheme. Which then will have problem with solar winds. Funny how the small plant mirrors the problems of the larger soon to be plant.
