Formation and sustainment of a toroidal magnetic equilibrium using CHI in
a conducting shell that has an L/R time much shorter than the pulse length.
L/R Stainless Steel Vacuum tank = 1.2 ms compared to a pulse length
of 20 - 40ms.
Static formation of a spherical torus with plasma current over 120 kA
using a transformer and feedback control power supplies.
Production of a current increase in a transformer produced spherical
torus using CHI (SN 14817 Data).
NSTX-like flux configuration has yielded the best results:
-
peak current 200 kA with 150 kA sustained for 5 ms.
-
longest sustained current, 150 kA and 7 ms, limited by power supplies.
Limiter and divertor Ohmic discharges have been produced.
- current 120 kA + (SN 15014, 15023)
