THERMONUCLEAR REACTOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4085903
A thermonuclear reactor of the stellarator type comprising an endless tube in which a reactive gas is retained by a constant magnetic field is described. This magnetic field is produced by the usual magnetic coil on the tube and also by a number of helicoidal windings that add a transverse multipolar field to the axial field. The additional field produces some rotational transform in the lines of magnetic force, which means that the latter generally do not return to the same point after going around the tube. This rotational transform varies with the distance from the axis of the tube and thus decreases instabilities of the generated gas discharge. (NPO)
