A coil which produces a minimum-B configuration resembling that generated by a tennis ball-seam coil but with several advantages: it produces a field of variable and higher mirror ratio, using less power; it is made up of two separate racetrack-shaped conductors, bent into a "C" shape, which confers great flexibility on the assembly.

Bobine qui crée une configuration à B minimal ressemblant à celle engendrée par une bobine du type lacet quadripolaire, mais avec plusieurs avantages : elle produit un champ à rapport de miroir variable et plus élevé, en utilisant moins de puissance; elle est constituée de deux conducteurs séparés, en forme d'hippodrome et courbés en forme de C, ce qui assure une grande flexibilité à l'ensemble.
