Electromagnetic design and simulation of a new fusion device

To develop the fiber, the researchers roll conducting and insulating polymer films around a copper wire to create a 2 cm-wide cylindrical capacitor. The cylinder is heated to 200"C and stretched until it is a soft elastic fiber 0.9 mm in diameter.
