TAE Technologies experimental device “C-2W/Norm” generates beam-driven field-reversed configuration plasmas for 40 ms.
By implementing a new pellet injection geometry, we experimentally demonstrate core fueling with pellets of steady-state FRCs.

We report evidence of successful generation of field-reversed configuration plasmas by neutral beam injection. This is achieved by trapping the steady-state beams in an initial seed plasma, hence providing a direct source of toroidally directed energetic ion current …

The Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) is a highly diamagnetic plasma confinement device used in nuclear fusion research. FRC’s exhibit an internal region of weak magnetic field with ideal conditions to reach the high temperature required to burn high Z aneutronic fuels …
