A new class of magnetic confinement device in the shape of a knot
- Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, PO Box 451, Princeton, New Jersey 08543 (United States)
We describe a new class of magnetic confinement device, with the magnetic axis in the shape of a knot. We call such devices “knotatrons.” An example is given that has a large volume filled with magnetic surfaces, with significant rotational-transform, and with the magnetic field produced entirely by external circular coils.
