Animal rights groups have long complained that sheer malicious behavior -- on top of the expected confinement and bloodletting -- goes on in slaughter plants, but this is the first time such graphic proof has been produced.
"As we get to understand these plasmas better, we expect to increase the confinement time in the stellarator by at least another factor of a hundred," he said.

The confinement time departs from the B 2 dependence that is expected for a few particles confined in harmonic traps.
In measuring the confinement time of an electron plasma in a CPT it is shown that the confinement time departs from the expected B 2 dependence at low pressures and is governed by other loss mechanisms apart from elastic binary collisions with background neutrals present [9, 14].
The energy confinement time is simply the time it takes the fusing plasma to expand.
Cowley says a successful fusion plant will have a confinement time of around three seconds.
This is the typical solution to the problem of confinement time.
But the maximum confinement time they could achieve was around 1 millisecond.
As such, the confinement time, or minimum burn time, can be as short as 20 × 10−12 second.
