Tokamak vs stellarator
Both confine plasma magnetically in a torus. The difference is where the twist in the magnetic field comes from — and everything else follows from that.

Magnetic vs inertial confinement
The two dominant routes to fusion. One holds a thin plasma steady for seconds; the other crushes a fuel capsule in nanoseconds. They are not measured with the same yardstick, which is where most confusion starts.
