Abstract:

This "Festvortrang" was presented by the author in the special colloquium in honor of Dr. G. Grieger's 60th birthday, held in Max-Planck-Institut fur Plasmaphysik on March 18. 1991. The author reviewed the history of the development of the stellarator/heliotron system, and pointed out the important role of the radial electric field in plasma transport in helical devices . After reviewing the history, the author expects that the 1990s will be a decade of new significant developments for helical fusion research.
