A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING INTENSE MAGNETIC FIELDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONFINING A PLASMA IN ORDER TO PRODUCE ENERGY BY NUCLEAR FUSION WHICH COMPRIES SUBJECTING A CENTRAL COLUMN OF PLASMA UNDER A HIGH DEGREE OF VACUUM TO AN ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE, THEREAFTER INTERMITTENTLY INTRODUCING PERIPHERALLY AROUND SAID CENTRAL COLUMN A SERIES OF ANNULAR COLUMNS OF GAS AND SUBJECTING EACH OF SAID ANNULAR COLUMNS OF GAS TO A CONSECUTIVE SERIES OF ELECTRICAL DISCHARGES COAXIAL WITH SAID CENTRAL COLUMN OF PLASMA, EACH OF SAID CONSECUTIVE SERIES OF ELECTRICAL DISCHARGES BEING CLOSER TO SAID CENTRAL COLUMN OF PLASMA, WHEREBY SAID SERIES OF ANNULAR COLUMNS OF GAS ASSUME THE SHAPE OF CENTRIPETALLY MOVING ANULAR COLUMNS CAUSING A COMPRESSION OF THE FIELD CONFINING SAID CENTRAL COLUMN OF PLASMA.
