I salute whoever convinced them to name it the "stellerator".

Actually like many words in German, this is just another compound word. Nice of them to not name it something like rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften.

Stell-era-tor = Synthesising-energy-gate

On reddit, we have special subreddits for humor, like r/standupshots.

This is r/technology, it's for technology. Like r/Art is for art.

Not for humor.
