Abstract
A fully three-dimensional computer code based on an ideal magnetohydrodynamic model has been used to find stellarator configurations with finite critical values of the plasma parameter β. It is established that the WISTOR-U torsatron designed at the University of Wisconsin and the Heliotron E experiment constructed at Kyoto University have average β limits near 5 percent.Keywords
