A well done plasma discharge is documented at the Fig.[], where (from top to bottom) time evolution of the loop voltage \(U_{loop}\), toroidal magnetic field \(B_t\), plasma current \(I_p\) and total radiation power \(bb\) is depicted. Toroidal magnetic field (second graph) as a capacitor discharge into a coil have a shape of one harmonic pulse, starting 5 ms after the discharge sequence initiation. After a specific time delay \(\approx 2 ms\), allowing to substantially rise the confinemnt ability of the field, a start of toroidal electric field is innitiated and the proccess of the breakdown of the neutral gas into a plasma is innitiated. Appropriate conditions specified by the Paschen law are reached at the time of \(\approx\) 10 ms and the avelanche proccess of the ionization of working gas undergoes in the whole volume of the vessel, thus creating the ring of ionized gas - a plasma. This medium, being conductive, serves as a secondary coil to the transformer, thus absorbing electric power via current drive, resulting in the huge rise of temperature up to the 100 eV \(\approx\) 1 million centigrades. At the time \(t_s\approx xx ms\) a stationary phase is reached, where the plasma parameters are "konstant" alowing to perform studies
