Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Structures of magnetic field fluctuations in the HANBIT mirror device have been measured using a movable magnetic probe. The effects of the magnetic field and the RF power on the magnetic fluctuations have been studied. Electromagnetic plasma waves in low-pressure plasmas and high-pressure plasmas have been analyzed and the results indicates that sideband mode coupling is smaller in low-pressure plasmas. It is also found that the lower sideband coupling is enhanced at the resonance point, where the frequency of applied RF wave is similar to that of local ion cyclotron frequency, and a local stabilization of magnetic fluctuations is observed to occur there.
