A system for the magnetic confinement of a plasma for purposes such as the facilitating of thermonuclear fusion reactions. In one form, the major confining field is generated such that in local regions the magnetic field intensity increases with increasing distance from the central part of the confinement space. This provides a strong confinement in those local regions. The currents generating the major confinement field are time varying such that the local strong confinement regions move relative to each other and pass through the entire confinement space. Thus, the plasma is generally pumped through local strong confinement regions, and all parts of the confinement space are periodically subjected to a strong confining field.
