Abstract

946,370. Thermonuclear apparatus. UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION. June 26,1962 [ Aug. 17,1961], No. 24473/62. Heading G6P. A device for containing aheated ionized plasma comprises a generally toroidal tube formed of an alternate succession of small and large diameter tube portions connected end to end, a coil wound about each small diameter portion, one of the coils being split to define two coaxial coils spaced apart to form injection coils, and injection means for introducing a beam of energetic particles into the region between the injection coils. In Fig 1 the toroidal tube comprises alternate narrow sections 14 and wide sections 13 connected together by annular sections 16, the narrow section 14 being surrounded by coils 17. The injection coils 31, 32 are separated by less than one coil radius and the separation at the injection point is less than the separation diametrically opposite the injection point. An accelerator 37 supplies a charged particle beam which is injected into the tube,the injection path passing between two magnetic pole tips 33 energized by coils 36 and connected together by an iron yoke 34. The pole tips 33 are constructed with a step, Fig 5 (not shown), causing a gradient in the field between them.
