The magnetic fields initially applied by ... "When the ECCD was added in the same direction as the current in the plasma, the width of the island decreased, and the pedestal pressure increased.

A device known as a tokamak uses magnetic fields to contain the plasma in a donut shape ... the width of the island decreased. On the other side, the pedestal pressure increased.

Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...

How a tokamak works: The electric field induced by a transformer drives a current (big red arrows) through the plasma column. This generates a poloidal magnetic field that bends the plasma current ...

China’s “high-thrust magnetic plasma thruster”, designed by the Xian Aerospace Propulsion Institute, was able to achieve stable operation at its full power of 100 kilowatts. “The ...
