Non-inductive Current Drive

Non-Inductive Current Drive is a method of generating and sustaining plasma current in a fusion device without relying on electromagnetic induction, distinguishing it from inductive techniques by employing external drivers such as radiofrequency waves or neutral beams to directly impart momentum or drive current through kinetic effects.
