Method and apparatus for generating and utilizing a compound plasma configuration

This patent describes a method of producing a compound plasma configuration in an enclosed region. It comprises: providing a suitable fluid medium in the region, selecting the fluid medium from the group consisting of vaporized or plasmatized solid or liquid state of matter formed of light fusionable nuclear material, a gas, an ionized gas, a plasma of light fusionable material, a mixture of states of matter of light fusionable nuclei, producing a predetermined electrical environment in at least a portion of the region, establishing a magnetic field oriented in a particular direction within the region, producing a current stroke having an electromotive force in the fluid medium, inducing the current stoke to follow a generally helical path, the helical path forming a closed loop, thereby resulting in the formation of a generally toroidal closed plasmoid
