“…The earlier ELMO bumpy torus (EBT) consisted of many mirrors linked toroidally [8]. Later in 1981 the DRAKON closed fusion trap, proposed by Glagolev et al [9,10], con- sisted of two long linear mirror sections joined by two curvilinear sections. More recently, Mazzucato proposed a fusion reactor scheme of two linear mirrors joined by two toroidal sections with helical coils [11].…”

A new linked mirror device for magnetic confinement experiments is proposed. The new linked mirror device consists of two straight magnetic mirrors connected by two half-torus. The structure of the configuration as a whole is three dimensional because the two linear mirror sections are not parallel. The angle between the two mirror sections generates rotational transform which results in good magnetic confinement of toroidally passing particles. In this way the usual loss cone of the traditional linear mirror machines is eliminated. The single particle confinement is similar to that of tokamaks with most of particles well confined. The calculated neoclassical confinement is very good and is even better than that of an equivalent tokamak.

A new linked mirror device for magnetic confinement experiment is proposed. The new linked mirror device consists of two straight magnetic mirrors connected by two half-torus. The structure of the configuration as a whole is three dimensional because the two linear mirror sections are not parallel. The angle between the two mirror sections generates rotational transform which results in good magnetic confinement of toroidally processing passing particles. In this way the usual loss cone of the traditional linear mirror machines is eliminated. The single particle confinement is similar to that of tokamaks with most of particles well confined. The calculated neoclassical confinement is very good and is even better than that of an equivalent tokamak. Potentially the proposed linked mirror configuration can allow MHD stable high beta equilibria with good plasma confinement suitable for neutron sources and magnetic fusion reactors.
