== Classification of stellarators == | |||
Somewhat arbitrarily, stellarators may be classified according to the type of magnetic configuration. | |||
* Torsatron / Heliotron: the [[rotational transform]] is produced by an external helical coil surrounding the plasma. | |||
* Heliac: a stellarator with a toroidally helical magnetic axis. | |||
* Helias: advanced stellarator with modular coils. | |||
