Noah could tell you because he's been interning at General Atomics for a
year now doing research on how to keep the plasma cloud stable.  Here's the
abstract of the research he presented at the American Physical Society
conference in Denver last November:

The plasma is contained in a very powerful magnetic field.

Definitely interesting.  I hope to see more breakthroughs in the future.
The thing that puzzles me is the question of containment.  How to contain
something that operates at temperatures and pressures equivalent to those
found in the core of the sun?  Fascinating stuff - thanks for sharing.
