A set of experiments were conducted on the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) at UCLA to test the operational principles of a traveling wave antenna of the comb-line type. This antenna was designed to launch helicon waves (fast waves in the lower hybrid range of frequencies) on DIII-D.

In the Norm experiment at TAE Technologies, a reversed field configuration (FRC) is formed by reversing the magnetic field of a mirror
configuration using neutral beam injection.

The field reversed configuration (FRC) has been a curious case in plasma physics research in that early MHD analysis suggested FRCs should be
grossly unstable, while experimental results contradicted that prediction

The method of extracting inductance based on formulas has been widely used due to its simplicity and efficiency. The literature primarily
includes various formulas for inductance, which have been derived using different approximations.
