ABSTRACT:

For confining and simultaneous heating of high temperature plasma, it is proposed to use a magnetic trap that creates a closed rotating magnetic field. Such a magnetic field is created by applying magnetic fields from nine open traps placed in triads in three orthogonal planes. Each trap is connected to one of phases of a three-phase AC circuit and is set at 120 degrees to the other two traps located in this plane.
