Abstract :
Feedback circuits have been designed and tested which reduce the component of a fluctuating magnetic field normal to a square coil. These circuits, when placed in an array covering a toroidal plasma, may be a practical alternative to a perfectly conducting shell for stabilizing resistive wall modes
