Fundamentals of thermonuclear plasma physics

It is shown that besides the well-known solution of the local equilibrium equation, according to which the closed plasma pressure can not exceed the pressure of the external coil field displaced by plasma there are two more particular solutions describing plasma with pressure exceeding the pressure of the external coil field displaced by plasma. It is established that the external coil magnetic field is necessary only for fixing thermonuclear plasma in space, and plasma itself, is confined by the magnetic field pressure of diamagnetic currents. It is shown that plasma generated in a simple plug trap and having the maximum pressure exceeding the pressure of the external coil magnetic field displaced by plasma, produces the magnetic field configuration topologically similar to the torus field. Estimations are carried out showing that thermonuclear reactor ignition operating on pure deuterium is possible using fast deuterium atom pulse injectors already operating in USA. The main conclusion of the investigation is the possibility of construction of a simple and cheap thermonuclear reactor on the basis of a simple plug trap. The ideas developed in the paper are sufficient for explanation of ball lightning production and their evolution
