Possibility of helical device as a high current electron source by utilizing a new method of runaway electrons extraction has been investigated. Magnetic force lines of the helical system with extraction coils and electron orbits in the given magnetic configuration have been calculated to design an experimental device for demonstrate electrons extracting from the helical device. Numerical results show it can be made.
