TAE Technologies’ C-2W device has achieved stable, beam-driven Field-Reversed Configurations (FRCs) maintained for up to 40 ms. Recent advances include real-time plasma control, enhanced fueling via pellets and compact toroids, and the commissioning of new cyclotron resonance heating systems.
November 2025 | T. DeHaas | APS DPP 2025 | Poster
A prototype Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) system has been developed for C-2W, a beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) experiment at TAE Technologies.
July 2025 | J. Larson | Journal of Plasma Physics | Paper
A set of experiments were conducted on the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) at UCLA to test the operational principles of a traveling wave antenna of the comb-line type. This antenna was designed to launch helicon waves (fast waves in the lower hybrid range of frequencies) on DIII-D.
