It has 16 toroidal field coils and 12 poloidal field coils.
2.
The poloidal field coils have a radius of 1.08 m.
3.
The experimental fusion reactor ITER uses Niobium-titanium for its poloidal field coils.
4.
This was the first tokamak to use superconducting magnets to generate both the toroidal and poloidal fields.
5.
Design challenges include the toroidal and poloidal field coils, vacuum vessels and plasma-facing components.
6.
START had six poloidal field coils within the vacuum tank and were encased in 3 millimeter stainless steel cases.
7.
An X-point is defined as a point in space at which the poloidal field has zero magnitude.
8.
In a tokamak the toroidal field is much stronger than the poloidal field, but in an RFP it's just the opposite.
9.
This decomposition is symmetric in that the curl of a toroidal field is poloidal, and the curl of a poloidal field is toroidal.
10.
Magnetic surfaces are created using only 4 electromagnetic coils-two interlocking coils inside the chamber, and two poloidal field coils outside the chamber.
