When ? < 1 magnetic confinement is possible ( most magnitude, superconducting technology is necessary and the added mass of such a system would be detrimental.
32.
Magnetic confinement fusion attempts to create the conditions needed for fusion energy production by using the electrical conductivity of the plasma to contain it with magnetic fields.
33.
Thus the optimum temperature for inertial confinement fusion maximises / " T " 3 / 2, which is slightly higher than the optimum temperature for magnetic confinement.
34.
The tokamak is one of several types of magnetic confinement devices, and is being developed to contain the hot plasma needed for producing controlled thermonuclear fusion power.
35.
A magnetic confinement device uses powerful interlocked magnetic fields to contain and compress hot, electrically charged plasma ( a kind of gas ) within a vacuum chamber.
36.
The Tokamak and the Joint European Torus in England are the two most powerful fusion reactors in the world based on a compression system called magnetic confinement.
37.
This process is the cause of solar flares and is one reason for the difficulty of magnetic confinement fusion, which requires strong electric currents in a hot plasma.
38.
In magnetic confinement, the tendency of the hot plasma to expand is counteracted by the Lorentz force between currents in the plasma and magnetic fields produced by external coils.
39.
The high temperature of Capella's corona as obtained from the first coronal X-ray spectrum of Capella using HEAO 1 required magnetic confinement unless it was a free-flowing coronal wind.
40.
Ion-electron or positron-electron plasma with magnetic confinement theoretically allows direct conversion of particle energy to electricity by the separation of the positive particles from the negative particles with magnetic deflection.
