Plasma coil device for fusion generators - uses helical magnetic field to selectively influence plasma

摘要

The plasma coil device is for fusion generators, such as Tokamak, and selectively influences plasma using a roughly helical magnetic field, whose helicity bears a given relationship to the helicity of certain magnetic lines of force inside the plasma. This helical field is generated separately from the screwed magnetic field in the toroid and is allowed to interact with the plasma. The helical magnetic field has a pitch which is greater than or equal to one, and bears a given relationship to the pitch of the magnetic lines of force requiring influencing over a given surface of the plasma.
