Designing appropriate plugs was a challenge for all magnetic mirror machines.
2.
Because the mirror machines were straight, they had some advantages over a ring shape.
3.
A series of well-funded, large, mirror machines were built by the US government in the 1970s and 1980s.
4.
Sharply bent fields were used by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in a series of magnetic mirror machines from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s.
5.
Meanwhile, Chad and Jeremy worked on a side project called Mirror Machines, which has since been postponed in favor of Shiny Toy Guns once again.
6.
The key is that these two line cusps are much narrower than the single line cusp in magnetic mirror machines, so the net losses are less.
7.
Unlike the full mirror machine which typically had many large rings of current surrounding the middle of the magnetic field, the bottle typically has just two rings of current.
8.
Large experimental magnetic mirror machines have been developed to confine hot deuterium plasma as a possible approach to fusion power, since the plasma is too hot for any solid container.
9.
The most famous was the magnetic mirror machines, which was a series of large, expensive devices built at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from the 1960s to mid 1980s.

The different games a player encounters when trying to get the Zoombinis from Zoombini Isle to Zoombiniville represent many mathematical characteristics . " Pizza Pass ", " Allergic Cliffs ", and " Stone Cold Caves " exercise the sorting, grouping, and comparing of information . " Captain Cajun's Ferryboat ", " Stone Rise ", and " Titanic Tattooed Toads " reinforce ordering, linking information, and problem solving . " Fleens ! ", " Mudball Wall ", and " Hotel Dimensia " emphasize graphing and mapping, while " Lions'Lair ", " Mirror Machine ", and " Bubblewonder Abyss " train the player in sorting, organizing, and algebraic thinking.
