About: Dynomak

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Dynomak is a spheromak fusion reactor concept developed by the University of Washington using U.S. Department of Energy funding. A dynomak is defined as a spheromak that is started and maintained by magnetic flux injection. The dynomak is formed when an alternating current is used to induce a magnetic flux into plasma. A transformer uses the same induction process to create a secondary current. Once formed, the plasma inside the Dynomak relaxes into its lowest energy state, while conserving overall flux. This is known as a taylor state and inside the machine what is formed is a plasma structure called a spheromak. The Dynomak is a kind of Spheromak that is started and driven by externally induced magnetic fields.
