A modification of closed magnetic trap Tornado-322 is proposed for relatively hot (10 keV) or dense (10 21 m−3) plasma confinement. The helices of the trap consist of stainless steel tubes keeping the helical shape of conductors and number of copper wires inside the tube carrying helical electric currents. The wires are insulated from each other and connected in series. Current carrying wires are cooled down with a nitrogen vapour increasing time duration of magnetic field up to 0.1 s. Current carrying turns of the inner helix are placed between turns of the outer helix mechanically stabilising the helices and increasing confinement magnetic field up to 2.8 T.
