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. https://www.biotech-asia.org/vol12no1/closed-magnetic-trap-for-confining-and-heating-plasma/ high temperature plasma; controlled thermonuclear reaction; trap; toroidal component of magnetic field; poloidal magnetic field; reactor; magnetic induction; skin effect; equilibrium plasma; closed magnetic trap; high frequency vortex currents
