Magnetic Mirror Plasma Confinement With Open Field Lines
Using stronger magnets at reactor ends to create magnetic mirror effect that reflects most particles back into the core while allowing controlled axial exhaust
This theory falls within the Energy & Physics research cluster, exploring advanced propulsion, fusion reactor designs, and unconventional energy technologies that may operate outside the boundaries of publicly acknowledged science.
Supporting Points
- High beta linear confinement system has open magnetic field lines
- Stronger magnets at ends pinch field and reflect plasma back
- Little real leakage through mirror forms exhaust stream

TAE Technologies has built a working fusion reactor using Field Reverse Configuration.
Field Reverse Configuration achieves high beta values of nearly 100% compared to 10% for tokamaks.
Boron-11 fusion is only possible with Field Reverse Configuration, not tokamaks.
A magnetic mirror effect containing plasma between stronger magnets at the reactor ends with axial exhaust.
Previous TAE designs fired two plasma toroids at each other to create FRC.
TAE uses neutral beam injectors to create and sustain the plasma structure.
The closed magnetic field lines create a plasmoid structure in the center.
TAE's power systems can deliver 100,000 amps at tens of thousands of volts.
TAE achieves vacuum pressure a trillion times lower than atmospheric pressure.
Plasma self-organization occurs through energy exchange between charged particles and spacetime medium.
