Apparatus for generating intense, quasi-stationary magnetic fields with compact toroidal geometry

摘要

Apparatus comprising a toroidal magnet whose conductive layers closest to the axis of symmetry are supported everywhere by a structural material of high mechanical strength, and synchronous press means exerting a compressive force parallel to the said axis of symmetry, the apparatus achieving, in use, quasi-isotropy of the stress tensor in the most critically loaded part of the magnet.
