A Major Design flaw in fusion reactors is holding back progress.

I have reason to believe that fusion reactors design in current
development may have a different design concept.
It is based on containing the reaction using externally generated
magnetic fields.
But all the stars like the sun uses internally generated magnetic
fields. The fields are generated from inside out.
The best we can hope to do with an external generated field is
cosmetic at best, we cannot contain and control the any reaction this
way.
The armature of a simple electrical transformer is the stable iron at
its core, making the device work at approx. 60% to 80% efficiency.
This is very important in the generation of containment shields.
For eons, the stars in the heavens have evolved an adequate solution
to the containment problem. A special atom allows them to contain and
control all reactions with uncanny accuracy.
We know this atom as IRON (Fe Atomic No. 26), probably the most stable
element in existence.
Its stability allows it the ability to control magnetic fields,
convert intense heat energy into magnetic fields energy especially at
very high temperatures. This special property of iron makes it ideal
for use as the control for the core in fusion reactors.
Without the aid of a stable atom like iron at the core of a fusion
reactor, it is bound fail in generating and controlling any
reactions.
At the present stage of fusion reactor design, the use of external
magnetic field applied at best will be like using the steering wheel
control a car. This is not possible as it only points it in the
direction to travel for the wheels to turn the car.
We have never seen a star with external generated magnetic field in
the visible universe.
Please can anyone explain why fusion reactors use this strange
approach?
Cheers.
