DEMO - Coil for the Fusion Experiment WENDELSTEIN 7-X

The DEMO-coil is a prototype of the geometrically most complicated of the 5 non-planar coil types. With the DEMO-coil, the most important manufacturing methods for the series coils were developed and tested. During the tests at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (Research Center in Karlsruhe) in 1999, all previous theoretically-determined characteristics of the DEMO-coil were experimentally confirmed.
