Some Basic Concepts for Magnet Coil Design.

摘要

In the United States and abroad there is intensive activity in thermonuclear research. A major part of this effort is directed toward containment, in strong magnetic fields, of plasma of the necessary high particle energies, corresponding to temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees Kelvin. Magnetic field design in thermonuclear research has already been developed to a relatively broad field of electrical engineering. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some theorems which are of special interest for the design of large d-c magnet coils as used, for instance, in the DCX (Direct Current Experiment) thermonuclear research program of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
