Part 2 of 2 Parts (Please read Part 2 first)
     The record plasma generated by the Wendelstein 7-X has now been analyzed in high detail. At high plasma temperatures and low turbulence losses, the usual stellarator magnetic ripple losses in the energy balance could be observed. They accounted for about thirty percent of the heating power, which is a considerable part of the energy balance.
