| 1. | Unlike a tokamak, a stellarator need not be perfectly symmetrical.
|
| 2. | ,the Wendelstein 7-X reactor was the largest stellarator device.
|
| 3. | Construction of the stellarator was originally expected to reach completion in 2006.
|
| 4. | Applying the same logic to the stellarator appeared to offer the same advantages.
|
| 5. | Several arrangements were eventually studied over time, notably the stellarator concept developed around 1950.
|
| 6. | Spitzer invented the stellarator plasma device and is the namesake of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
|
| 7. | He eventually managed to arrange a meeting with the director of the AEC to pitch the stellarator concept.
|
| 8. | Spitzer's idea won funding and he began work on the stellarator under the code name Project Matterhorn.
|
| 9. | A set of auxiliary coils is used to deliberately break the symmetry to mimic conventional stellarator properties for comparison.
|
| 10. | In the tokamak, stellarator and most pinch devices, the plasma is forced to follow helical magnetic lines.
