Field Reverse Configuration
Index Previous in Thread Next in Thread

Does anyone have any insights into FRC ?

Take a solenoid for example: Rather than the wire being wrapped around a hollow iron core along the length of the exterior of an iron tube therefore resulting in a longitudal B field, the wire wrap itself occurs longitudally over the ends of of the tube resulting in a centripital B field.

Any insights into the feasibility of this option?

Perhaps 4 of these set up in a polar-quadrupole configuration with two opposing e- beams along the z-axis?
Thanks
