Original array of diagnostics on C-2W’s divertor electrodes
demonstrated the functionality of C-2W’s expander divertors:
• Measured Ambipolar Potential of 4-5 Te
• Small Debye Sheath of ~1 Te

In TAE Technologies’ current experimental device, C-2W, neutral beam injection creates a large fast ion population that sustains a fieldreversed configuration (FRC) plasma.
May 2021 | J. B. Titus | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
The C-2W experiment produces advanced beam-driven field FRC plasmas, which are sustained in steady state utilizing variable energy neutral beams, advanced divertors, end bias electrodes, and an active plasma
control system.
