PFRCs can be configured for a range of power levels by adjusting the length. PFRC modules of 1-10 MW can readily be added to or removed from a particular site to suit its evolving needs. The geometry of the PFRC is linear, consisting of an array of coaxial magnets, as shown in Figure 1.

2011年7月26日 · This review addresses field-reversed configurations (FRCs), which are compact-toroidal magnetic systems with little or no toroidal field and very high β (ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure).

2023年1月31日 · The Princeton Field-Reversed Configuration (PFRC) nuclear fusion reactor concept is an innovative approach to fusion power generation prioritizing low neutron production and small size. A combination of analytical modeling and numerical simulation shows that the novel heating approach generates an FRC with closed field lines.

A current is pulsed through the coil so as to produce a field opposite to and stronger than the uniform background magnetic field. The field-reversed configuration (FRC) contains two cusp null points on axis.

The Princeton Field-Reversed Configuration (PFRC) is a fusion reactor concept with two defining features: the novel use of radio-frequency waves that drive an electrical current and heat the plasma, and magnetic mirrors that trap the plasma particles in a to-and-fro motion.

2018年2月15日 · Active control of field reversed configuration (FRC) devices requires a method to determine the flux surface geometry and dynamic properties of the plasma during both transient and steady-state...

1988年11月1日 · Although they have been known for about three decades, field reversed configurations have been studied intensively only in recent years. This renewed interest is due to the unusual fusion reactor potential of these high beta plasmas and also to their surprising macroscopic stability.

A field-reversed configuration (FRC) is a type of plasma device studied as a means of producing nuclear fusion. It confines a plasma on closed magnetic field lines without a central penetration.[1] In an FRC, the plasma has the form of a self-stable torus, similar to a smoke ring.

Field-reversed configuration (FRC) power plants appear likely to provide an excellent balance between potential reactor attractiveness and technical development risk.
