Thonemann, P C

An electrically continuous liner for use between a torus and a pulsed ring discharge induced in gas in the torus is described. The liner, made of corrugated material to increase its effective length, is used to prevent the discharge from touching the walls of the torus. The liner is provided with a circumferential conducting means around its small circumference so that when it is energized it produces a magnetic field which opposes the entry of an applied axial magnetic field into the liner.
