Restoring wall conditions in C-2W (Norman)—TAE Technologies’ present fusion device—after a vent is critical to
produce high quality field-reverse configuration (FRC) plasmas
November 2022 | M. Nations | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper
In C-2W (also called “Norman”), beam-driven field reversed configuration plasmas embedded in a magnetic mirror are produced and
sustained in a steady state.
