We develop protocols to confine charged particles using time-varying magnetic fields and demonstrate the possible non-torus configuration resulting from the distribution of single-particle motion orbits. A two-step strategy is proposed to achieve this goal: preliminary protocols are contrived by solely considering the magnetic force; afterwards they are evaluated and selected through numerical solutions to the equation of motion, taking into account inductive electric fields. It is shown that a fine-tuned tangent-pulse protocol can maintain its centralized configuration even in the presence of associated electric fields, which illuminates an alternative approach to designing the confinement scenario for fusion plasmas.
