Abstract

See full text

A device and method for generating plasma conditions for deuterium-tritium and advanced fuel thermonuclear fusion consisting of an inner helicity-containing plasma such as a spheromak compact toroid bounded by a plurality of outer cusped magnetic fields. Helicity driven by steady-inductive helicity injectors energizes the plasmoid with helicity. The device further includes means for driving fluid rotation about the device axis, about the device magnetic axis, and means for a hot electron sheath. Means are also provided for reducing particle losses out through the open cusp field lines through helicity injector rectification.
