C-2U is a unique hybrid field-reversed configuration (FRC) where we successfully combine a high-beta (~1) FRC plasma with neutral beam injection (NBI), field line biasing, and mirror physics.

We present a linear, one-parameter model for rigid displacement of a toroidally symmetric plasma.

A dramatic enhancement of the deuterium-deuterium fusion reaction rate – 100x beyond thermonuclear – is observed from a field reversed configuration plasma during high power hydrogen beam injection.

Field Reversed Configurations (FRCs) heated by neutral beam injection may include a large fast ion pressure that significantly modifies the equilibrium. A new analysis is required to characterize such hybrid FRCs, as the simple relations used up to now prove inaccurate.

TAE Technologies is one of the companies that conduct fusion research in the entrepreneurial approach. It is often asked why and how such research in the large scale and long range may be carried out based on private funds. English version included.

An economic magnetic fusion reactor favours a high ratio of plasma kinetic pressure to magnetic pressure in a well-confined, hot plasma with low thermal losses across the confining magnetic field.
