In a fusion reactor a hot plasma of deuterium and tritium is confined by a strong magnetic field to produce helium ions and release energetic neutrons. The 3D geometry of a stellarator provides configurations for such a device that reduce net toroidal current that might lead to disruptions. We construct smooth coils generating an external magnetic field designed to prevent the plasma from deteriorating.
在聚变反应堆中,氘和氚的热等离子体被强磁场约束,以产生氦离子并释放高能中子。仿星器的三维几何结构为这样一种装置提供了配置,可减少可能导致破裂的净环形电流。我们构建了光滑的线圈,以产生旨在防止等离子体恶化的外部磁场。
