  • Magnetic coil arrangement for fusion reactors
    Patent number: 4851180
    Abstract: A magnetic coil arrangement for fusion reactors, wherein toroidal field coils and poloidal field coils are combined, the current paths of the toroidal field coils being led helically around the central axis of the fusion reactor at an angle of contact adapted to the requirements in each case. The current paths of the toroidal coils in this way generate at the same time a poloidal field. This achieves an energy saving with the same reactor parameters. Furthermore, the coil system can be supplemented with additional integrated or independent toroidal and poloidal field coils.
