单词 stellarator
释义

stellarator


stellarator

(ˈstɛləˌreɪtə) n (General Physics) physics an apparatus used in research into thermonuclear reactions, consisting of a toroidal vessel designed so that a plasma may be contained within it by a helical magnetic field. The magnetic field is produced by current-carrying coils[C20: from stellar + (gener)ator]

Stellarator


stellarator

[′stel·ə‚rād·ər] (plasma physics) A device for confining a high-temperature plasma, consisting of a tube, which closes in on itself in a figure-eight or race-track configuration, and external coils which generate magnetic fields whose lines of force run parallel to the walls of the tube and prevent the plasma from touching the walls.

Stellarator

 

a closed magnetic trap for the confinement of a high-temperature plasma. It was proposed in 1951 by L. Spitzer, Jr., of the USA in connection with the problem of controlled thermonuclear fusion. The magnetic field in a stellarator is generated by means of external conductors. The lines of force are modified by a rotational transform, as a result of which the lines repeatedly go around the torus and form a system of closed, interleaved toroidal magnetic surfaces. The rotational transform may be achieved by the geometrical deformation of the toroidal solenoid (for example, by twisting it into a figure eight) or by means of helical conductors wound on the torus.
