Configuration magnétique dans laquelle les lignes de force se referment sur elles-mêmes à l'extérieur de la région où se trouve le plasma. [Définition normalisée par l'ISO.] 2, record 1, French, - configuration%20ouverte
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Parmi les configurations ouvertes, on distingue les configurations à miroirs, les configurations cuspidées et les configurations hybrides. 2, record 1, French, - configuration%20ouverte
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Les filières lentes sont caractérisées par leur type de configuration magnétique [...] Dans les configurations ouvertes, les lignes magnétiques quittent le volume de confinement, mais les particules chargées sont réfléchies le long des lignes de force par des miroirs magnétiques. Les fuites inévitables par ces miroirs rendent précaire l'obtention d'un bilan d'énergie positif : il faudrait pour cela convertir en électricité 90 % de l'énergie du plasma qui s'échappe par ces miroirs. 3, record 1, French, - configuration%20ouverte
