The '''Spherical Tokamak Experiment''' ({{lang-pt|'''ETE''' - '''Experimento Tokamak Esférico'''}}) is a machine dedicated to plasma studies in low aspect ratio [[Physics:Tokamak|tokamak]]s. The ETE was entirely designed and assembled at the Associated Plasma Laboratory (Laboratório Associado de Plasma, LAP) of Brazil's [[Organization:National Institute for Space Research|National Institute for Space Research]] (INPE).<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Ludwig|first1=Gerson Otto|last2=Andrade|first2=Maria Celia Ramos de|last3=Barbosa|first3=Luis Filipe Wiltgen|date=1999|title=The ETE spherical Tokamak project|url=http://inis.iaea.org/Search/search.aspx?orig_q=RN:36076128|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Ludwig|first1=G.
