Spheromak Reverse Pinch

The reversed field 0 pinch with no toroidal field inside the plasmoid is a more advantageous reactor-oriented device than the spheromak, in some respects, since the plasma formation is... 

A variety of configurations has been considered,including spheromaks, field-reversed simple mirrors, relativistic ring systems, and field reversed theta pinches. Of these, the latter may be considered a direct descendant of the long linear systems approach indeed, experiments on FR0P date back to the 1960 s. In this method, a quasi-steady bias field is first established in the plasma tube. 

In the same way we could fuel the field-reversed configuration. The transport scaling in the field-reversed configuration, is very different from that in other toroidal systems such as the reversed-field pinch , spheromak and tokamak. I say this because there is no shear in that system at all. Some instabilities are... 

I n the case of the spheromak, these studies are also at a relatively low level, but I think there is more background information coming from the reversed-field pinch, for example, on what one might expect for transport and what kind of microstability might exist there.
