Strong focusing megatron

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5559736
A strong focusing megatron has a hollow toroidal chamber in which a plasma of isotopes of hydrogen support an orbital current driven by a changing magnetic field whose amplitude is controllably variable and whose direction is generally coaxial with the major axis (Z-axis) of the toroidal chamber while the current is stabilized by a strong focusing magnetic field of alternately focusing and defocusing sections whose field is generally in the region of the toroidal chamber.
