A self pinching plasma displays negative entrophy as witnessed by hot fusion scientists. The temperature of a selfpinching plasma drops as more energy is added to the system. Could this effect be used as a radiant energy collector. Instead of photons being scattered they reside in the plasma currents. Chaotic electromagnetic energy is converted into the plasma current. An injection of a small amount of energy into the collector plasma imparts wave propogation in the plasma currents and the changing intensity of the current is harnessed by passing the plasma through a transformer core. The electrical energy withdrawn from the plasma at the frequency of the wave propogation in the plasma field. The current itself driven by photon absorption.
Would that work in the everyday liquid cooled transformer core or does this have to be a special production core that's not available? Probably that is a very unfair question to ask.
I was thinking more along the lines of using the plasma as an antennae. Something like a Tokamak accelerator but settling for rf capture. The bending magnets replaced by bending transformers.
Sparks ,I used " A self pinching plasma displays negative entropy",,,the first words of your post as a search term for Google and below was my first hit.
I think you might find it interesting.

Thanks Joe Lot of information to digest there.
I find it humorous that the Russians seem to give Tesla,much
more credibility than Americans.ha.
