C-2W holds a high beta FRC plasma in an easily accessible linear device. Plasma is elongated to improve performance, resulting in axial instability. Feedback control stabilizes and sustains the long plasma in steady state.

The NB power-supply system has recently been upgraded to extend the pulse length from 30 ms to 40 ms, which allows for a longer plasma lifetime thus better characterization and further enhancement of FRC performance.

TAE technologies has demonstrated for the first time that a long FRC with fusion relevant parameters can be sustained in steady state using feedback control.

The experimental device C-2W, also known as Norman, was initially optimized in early 2019 to performance levels up to and exceeding its specified design points

Traditional FRCs are known to be theoretically unstable to an internal tilt mode whose threshold is characterized by the parameter S*/E.
