Energy and momentum transfer by eigenmodes in tokamaks and stellarators, which arises when eigenmodes are destabilized by superthermal ions in a region that does not coincide with the damping region, is considered. This phenomenon, named spatial channeling, may play an important role in toroidal plasmas. It may aect plasma energy connement, plasma rotation, heating of the electron and ion components, and features of eigenmodes. The work contains both an overview and new results.
