The stellarator with diverter is modified in order to eliminate electric fields and hydromagnetic instability; the modification consists of applying a multipolar magnetic field to the tube transverse to its axis. The multipolar field has its magnetic axes at or near the tube walls and vanishes at the axis of the confining field. The function of the multipolar field is to produce a rotational transform with the transform angle varying steeply with the distance of the individual lines of force from the magnetic axis, and thus to reduce the tendency of the outer abd inner lines of force to interchange positions. The multipolar field may be produced by a plurality of closed coils or permanent magnet pairs extending helically along the tube. The pitch of the helical field is 5 to 20 times the tube diameter, and its strength at the tube walls is 1/10 to 1/5 that of the confining field. (D.L.C.)
