| 11. | It appeared that this approach would allow for fusion reactors of greatly simpler design than the predominant stellarator and tokamak approaches.
|
| 12. | The last and most powerful stellarator at this time was the'racetrack'Model C ( operating from 1961 69 ).
|
| 13. | Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Princeton laboratory hope to get federal financing next year to build a small stellarator of advanced design.
|
| 14. | It is the world's largest stellarator, designed to investigate the suitability of this type of device for a power station.
|
| 15. | Yet, as the stellarator lacked, or lowered, the plasma current, the plasma would be more stable from the start.
|
| 16. | Components for the Stellarator were measured with 3d laser scanning, and inspected to design models at multiple stages in the manufacturing process.
|
| 17. | By this point Lyman Spitzer had introduced his stellarator concept and was talking the idea around the energy establishment, looking for funding.
|
| 18. | SCR-1 is of a compact design and has the distinction of having the smallest aspect ratio of any operating stellarator device.
|
| 19. | There, he invented the Stellarator, an early effort to compress and heat electrically charged gas to a point at which fusion begins.
|
| 20. | It might be possible to use these additional degrees of design freedom to optimize a stellarator in ways that are not possible with tokamaks.
