  2. Electromagnetic forming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_forming

    A pinched aluminium can, produced from a pulsed magnetic field created by rapidly discharging 2 kilojoules from a high-voltage capacitor bank into a 3-turn coil of heavy gauge wire. Electromagnetic forming (EM forming or magneforming) is a type of high-velocity, cold forming process for electrically conductive metals, most commonly copper and ...

  3. Levitated Dipole Experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitated_Dipole_Experiment

    A flux loop is a loop of wire. The magnetic field passes through the wire loop. As the field varied inside the loop, it generated a current. This was measured and from the signal the magnetic flux was measured. The machine was monitored using diagnostics fairly standard to all of fusion. These included: A flux loop. This is a loop of wire.

  4. Magnetic confinement fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_confinement_fusion

    The high temperature of a fusion plasma precludes the use of material vessels for direct containment. Magnetic confinement fusion attempts to use the physics of charged particle motion to contain the plasma particles by applying strong magnetic fields. Tokamaks and stellarators are the two leading MCF device candidates as of today ...

  5. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    A conductive object will experience a repulsion force. This can lift objects against gravity, though with continual power input to replace the energy dissipated by the eddy currents. An example application is separation of aluminum cans from other metals in an eddy current separator. Ferrous metals cling to the magnet, and aluminum (and other ...

  6. Explosively pumped flux compression generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_pumped_flux...

    The magnetic flux threading the ring, represented by five field lines, is reduced by the same ratio as the area of the ring. The variation of the magnetic flux induces a current (red arrows) in the ring by Faraday's law of induction, which in turn creates a new magnetic field circling the wire (green arrows) by Ampere's circuital law. The new ...

  7. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    The magnetic flux crosses the rail in a direction transversal to the first axis and creates a closed-loop on the U-shaped profile. This configuration generates a stable equilibrium along the first axis that maintains the rail centered on the flux crossing point (minimum magnetic reluctance) and allows to bear a load magnetically.

  8. Magnetized target fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetized_target_fusion

    Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a fusion power concept that combines features of magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) and inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Like the magnetic approach, the fusion fuel is confined at lower density by magnetic fields while it is heated into a plasma. As with the inertial approach, fusion is initiated by rapidly ...

  9. Flux loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_loop

    A very basic flux loop. A flux loop is a loop of wire. The magnetic field passes through the wire loop. As the field varies inside the loop, it generates a voltage by Faraday's law of induction, driving a current. This was measured and from the signal the magnetic flux was measured. The voltage induced is determined by: [1]
