Compact Toroid Injection for Particle Fueling in C-2W
November 2023 | T. Matsumoto | APS DPP 2023 | Poster
As an alternative particle fueling mechanism, the Compact Toroid Injector (CTI) system has been in development since the C-2 device.
Development of high flux magnetized coaxial plasma gun
October 2022 | T. Matsumoto | APS-DPP 2022 | Poster
MCPGs, also known as CTIs, can control the total trapped flux of the ejected spheromak by adjusting the initial stuffing field between the electrodes
Multi-facing pyroelectric crystal-based bolometer system on the C-2W
May 2022 | T. Matsumoto | HTPD | Poster
C-2W has several pyrobolometer systems to measure power from fast neutrals that are generated by charge-exchange losses from the fast ion population.
Flow profile measurement with a Mach probe in the open-field line region of C-2W
November 2020 | T. Matsumoto | APS-DPP | Poster
In TAE Technologies’ current experimental device, C-2W(also called“Norman”), record-breaking, advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration
Fast-framing camera based observations of spheromak-like plasmoid collision and merging process using two magnetized coaxial plasma gun
April 2018 | T. Matsumoto | HTPD2018 | Poster
We have been conducting compact toroid (CT) collision and merging experiments by using two magnetized
coaxial plasma guns (MCPG). As is well known, an actual CT/plasmoid moves macroscopically in a confining magnetic field. Therefore, three-dimensional measurements are important in understanding the behavior of the CTs.
