TAE Technology’s C-2W experiment has been operational for over 18 months and has produced long-lived field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas.
September 2018 | R. Smith | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
The C-2W device generates a field reversed configuration
(FRC) plasma in a 1.6 m diameter Inconel confinement vessel
(CV) by forming and accelerating two FRCs in opposite direc-
tions to collide and merge in the CV.
