Blevin & Thonemann

PERSON HISTORICAL // R&D

01 Executive_Summary

Researchers who, in 1962, pioneered the technique of generating azimuthal electron currents in a plasma column using Rotating Magnetic Fields (RMF). This technique is a critical enabling technology for modern FRCs, providing a method for steady-state current drive and active stabilization of the destructive n=2 rotational instability.
