Proof of Concept: Plassien Aster - Energy Storage

My proposed concept for grid-scale energy storage. The deck proposes confining a plasma in a stable, self-organized, high-beta state using multipolar cusp confinement - superconducting coils arranged around a vacuum chamber - so that energy could be stored in the plasma and the magnetic field. The design grows from my first sketched model through a scalable three-phase concept.
