  • Abstract
    To contain and heat the deuterium plasma used in fusion experiments, strong magnetic fields are necessary. Fields are produced by a system of coils receiving a rapid transfer of energy from large capacitor banks storing large quantities of energy. The problems involved fall within the compass of electrical engineering analysis and can best be solved by the engineer in his normal work environment.
