New Ideas in Tokamak Confinement

tokamak  The tokamak uses powerful external magnetic fields to confine and control the hot plasma of fusion fuels in a ring-shaped container called a 'torus'  A tokamak consists of magnetic field coils wound around the torus poloidally to generate a toroidal field Bt that decreases radially proportional to 1R where R

The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor operated at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory from 1982 to 1997 TFTR set a number of world records, TOKAMAK DEVICES MAGNET COILS -- TOKAMAK DEVICES MAGNET COILS SUBJECTS 1096 Cross

Tokamak Operations and Engineering The DIII-D National Fusion Facility, operated by General Atomics for the Department of Energy, is a world-class Today, most of the fusion devices world-wide are of the tokamak type For the magnetic field cage a tokamak requires three superposed magnetic fields
