Unlike most controlled fusion systems, which slowly heat a magnetically confined plasma, the fusor injects high energy ions directly into a reaction chamber, thereby avoiding a considerable amount of complexity.
Charles's machine achieved high energy densities by focusing an intense beam of positrons onto a magnetically confined concentration of electrons.
Gain a detailed understanding of the basic physics of hot plasma which is magnetically confined in the helical-axis stellarator configuration.
Magnetically confined fusion plasmas such as those generated in tokamaks and stellarators are characterized by a typical shape.
The polywell differs from the fusor in that the electrons are magnetically confined, so that it is also related to magnetic confinement fusion, most closely to magnetic mirrors.
The gate field, magnetically confined, was somewhat above the hull, invisible to the naked eye.
His work led to the creation of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, where magnetically confined plasmas are still studied.
Neutral-beam injection involves the introduction of high-energy (rapidly moving) atoms into the ohmically heated, magnetically confined plasma.
In conceptualized nuclear fusion power plants, lithium will be used to produce tritium in magnetically confined reactors using deuterium and tritium as the fuel.
In 1982, the Government of India initiated the Plasma Physics Programme (PPP) for research on magnetically confined high temperature plasmas.
