Speculative Plasma Physics

Stellarator

A fusion device using a confining magnetic field with stabilizing windings that produce a rotational transform. It includes an ohmic heating transformer, magnetic pumping apparatus, and a divertor. The video highlights the use of helical conductors to solve instability.
