Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) plays a critical role in TAE’s C-2W FRC device providing plasma stability, heating and current drive. C-2W produces steady-state FRCs that are stable and contain significant current and pressure from fast ions.

In TAE Technologies’ current experimental device, C-2W (also called “Norman”) [1], record breaking, advanced beam-driven field reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas are produced and sustained in steady state
