A New Class of Magnetic Confinement Device in the Shape of a Knot
Authors: S.R. Hudson, E. Startsev and E. Feibush
Abstract:
We describe a new class of magnetic confinement device, with the magnetic axis in the shape
of a knot. We call such devices "knotatrons". An example is given that has a large volume filled
with magnetic surfaces, with significant rotational-transform, and with the magnetic field produced
entirely by external circular coils.
