Spheromak reactor with poloidal flux-amplifying transformer

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6918896
It is an object of the present invention to provide for improved generation and sustainment of an energetic plasma in a spheromak fusion reactor. A large poloidal magnetic flux is inductively induced in a spheromak-shaped plasma utilizing a reduced magnetic field-generating current in a current-carrying flux core.
