Plasma free energy is that part of the total energy that feeds the growth of turbulence. The most successful free energy formulation in plasma physics is the MHD Energy Principle – successful because, within magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the free ene

It is shown that spheromak equilibria, stable at zero-beta but departing from the Taylor state, could be sustained by non-inductive current drive at acceptable power levels. Stability to both ideal MHD and tearing modes is verified using the NIMROD c

The 'Kinetic Stabilizer' has been proposed as a means of MHD stabilizing an axisymmetric tandem mirror system. The K-S concept is based on theoretical studies by Ryutov, confirmed experimentally in the Gas Dynamic Trap experiment in Novosibirsk. In t

A power plant based on a spheromak device using liquid walls is analyzed. We assume a spheromak configuration can be made and sustained by a steady plasma gun current, which injects particles, curr...

Miocene strata of the Shadow Valley Basin rest unconformably on the upper plate of the Kingston Range - Halloran Hills detachment fault system in the eastern Mojave desert, California. Basin development occurred in two broad phases that we interpret

The effect of rotation on the magnetohydrodynamic stability of m=1 modes in spheromaks is calculated to reveal a threshold for rotational instability at ΩτA≊0.2, where Ω is the angular rotation frequency and τA is the Alfven transit time. This

Calculations are presented showing the temperatures expected in a spheromak sustained by continuous injection of helicity, based on a model previously shown to agree with temperatures achieved in spheromak experiments carried out in the 1980's. New e
We show that accretion disks around Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) could account for the enormous power in observed ultra high energy cosmic rays {approx}10{sup 20} eV (UHEs). In our model, cosmic rays are produced by quasi-steady acceleration of ions

The astrophysical {alpha}{omega} dynamo converting angular momentum to magnetic energy can be interpreted as a self-excited Faraday dynamo together with magnetic relaxation coupling the dynamo poloidal field to the toroidal field produced by dynamo c

The work of Xu and Rosenbluth [Phys. Fluids B 3, 627 (1991)] on ion‐temperature‐gradient modes in toroidal geometry is extended to noncircular cross sections to examine the scaling with the elongation κ. The growth rate, wave numbers, and stabil
