A pinch (or: Bennett pinch [2] (after Willard Harrison Bennett ), electromagnetic pinch, [3] magnetic pinch, [4] pinch effect, [5] or plasma pinch. [6]) is the compression of an electrically conducting filament by magnetic forces, or a device that does such. The conductor is usually a plasma, but could also be a solid or liquid metal.
A spheromak is an arrangement of plasma formed into a toroidal shape similar to a smoke ring. [1] The spheromak contains large internal electric currents and their associated magnetic fields arranged so the magnetohydrodynamic forces within the spheromak are nearly balanced, resulting in long-lived ( microsecond) confinement times without ...
Rebuilt. 2005. Website. geffenplayhouse .com. The Geffen Playhouse (or the Geffen) is a not-for-profit theater company founded by Gilbert Cates in 1995. It produces plays in two theaters in Geffen Playhouse, which is owned by University of California Los Angeles. The Playhouse is located in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
Magnetic Confinement. Garry McCracken, Peter Stott, in Fusion (Second Edition), 2013. The earliest magnetic-confinement devices were developed in the UK in the late 1940s. These were toroidal pinches (Figure 5.5), which attempted to confine plasma with a strong, purely poloidal magnetic field produced by a toroidal plasma cur
The resultant high-beta axisymmetric compact toroid is self-confined. A field-reversed configuration (FRC) is a type of plasma device studied as a means of producing nuclear fusion. It confines a plasma on closed magnetic field lines without a central penetration. In an FRC, the plasma has the form of a self-stable torus, similar to a smoke ring.
Toroidal and poloidal coordinates. A diagram depicting the poloidal ( θ) direction, represented by the red arrow, and the toroidal ( ζ or φ) direction, represented by the blue arrow. The terms toroidal and poloidal refer to directions relative to a torus of reference. They describe a three-dimensional coordinate system in which the poloidal ...
Magnetic confinement fusion ( MCF) is an approach to generate thermonuclear fusion power that uses magnetic fields to confine fusion fuel in the form of a plasma. Magnetic confinement is one of two major branches of controlled fusion research, along with inertial confinement fusion . Fusion reactions for reactors usually combine light atomic ...
