Description
A review of the EXTRAP concept is presented. The EXTRAP device consists of a classical Z-pinch being immersed in an octupole field generated by currents in a set of current rods. There is no axial magnetic field along the pinch axis. This configuration has closed field lines and closed particle drift orbits inside the separatrix, fully axisymmetric geometry and a high average plasma beta value and therefore constitutes a magnetic configuration which seems interesting for fusion applications.

Apresenta-se uma revisao do conceito EXTRAP. O dispositivo EXTRAP consiste de um pinch-Z classico estando imerso em um campo octopolo gerado por correntes em um conjunto de barras de corrente. Nao existe campo magnetico axial ao longo do eixo pinch. Esta configuracao tem linhas de campo fechado e orbitas fechadas alargadas da particula dentro da separatriz, geometria totalmente axi-simetrica e um alto valor β medio do plasma e portanto constitui uma configuracao magnetica que parece interessante para aplicacoes em fusao.
