Now, we could make this vertical grooves slightly Helical, (Rifled) This will induce a circular motion to the plasma, similar to the effect of the coil and improving the filament formation allowing to manage the plasmoid size.
The other potential problem with the helical geometry is someone has a patent on that approach.
existence of a patent was never and should never be an impediment to research.
