November 2025 | T. Matsumoto | 2025 US-Japan FRC Workshop | Presentation
– Two-CT injection was successfully demonstrated
– No disruption due to the injection was observed
– Plasma performance during FRC ramp-up was improved
– Diamagnetism was observed with only CTs and NBIs

With the genesis of Norm, a new fueling paradigm is born:
– Fueling Location Matters:
Open field lines are necessary for efficient FRC fueling.

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.
