Ohmic ignition condition on axis of the DT tokamak plasma heated by minor radius and major radius adiabatic compression is studied assuming parabolic profiles for plasma parameters,elliptic plasma cross section,and Neo-Alcator confinement scaling.It is noticeable that magnetic compression reduces the necessary total plasma current for Ohmic ignition device.Typically in compact ignition tokamak of the minor radius of 0 .47m,major radius of 1.5m and on-axis toroidal field of 20T,the plasma current of 6.8MA is sufficient for compression plasma,while that of 11.7MA is for no compression plasma . Another example with larger major radius is also described.In such a device the large flux swing of Ohmic transformer is available for long burn.Application of magnetic compression saves the flux swing and thereby extends the burn time.

A fusion ignition experiment (IGNITEX) is described, the original concept for which was proposed by Rosenbluth, Weldon and Woodson. In this concept, a single-turn-coil tokamak device produces a self-sustained fusion reaction of the type T (d, n) α. The basic idea is to employ a very high magnetic field and a very high plasma current to heat the plasma ohmically to thermonuclear temperatures and then to produce a stable ignited plasma. The experiment will permit the scientific study of a new regime of physics: alpha heated ignited plasmas.
