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.

The PULSATOR concept for the formation of a quasi-stationary magnetoplasma field-reversed configuration (FRC) by means of cyclic injection and merging of toroids in the confinement chamber is analyzed. The possible use of quasi-stationary plasma accelerators for the formation of high-⟨β⟩ toroids is considered. The requirements for the formation of FRCs with fusion parameters are evaluated. The possibility of the existence of an FRC with a finite toroidal field value is shown. The SAPFIR experimental installation for FRC formation investigations is briefly described, and the results of preliminary experiments are given.
