Described here is a collective accelerator based on magnetically confined plasma rings. Typical rings which have been produced and which have 10-kJ magnetic energy and 0.1 to 10 C of nuclei are predicted to be accelerated magnetically to 10 MJ or higher in acceleration lengths of 100 m. Applications are discussed of current drive in tokamak fusion reactors, fueling and heating magnetic fusion reactors, transuranic element synthesis, and, for focused rings, a high-energy density driver for inertial confinement fusion.
