MHD motion in field-reversed configuration plasma
The magnitude of magnetohydrodynamic motion in terms of wobble, internal tilt, external tilt and n=2 mode deformation in a field-reversed configuration plasma is quantitatively measured by optical and magnetic methods. In the optical method, a suitable viewing configuration of optical detectors is contrived for each type of motion. In the magnetic method, recently derived analytic formulas are ...
متن کاملDetails on an AFRL Field Reversed Configuration Plasma Device
A field reversed configuration (FRC) plasma device is being developed at AFRL Edwards. This geometry concept is based off of the coaxial slow source FRC fusion reactor concept developed at the University of Washington by Vlases, et al. A scaling energy model, COTS FEA, and a proof-of-concept experiment have been completed. In addition a complete suite of magnetic diagnostics as well as photomet...
متن کاملHigh Density Magnetized Toroid Formation and Translation within XOCOT: An Annular Field Reversed Configuration Plasma Concept
An annular field reversed configuration (FRC) plasma concept is being developed by the Univeristy of Michigan and AFRL to investigate inductively-coupled high power electric propulsion. Presented is the continued exploration of an annular FRC with specific focus on main bank discharges, magnetized plasma toroid formation, and preliminary investigation into plasma translation. Additional detail ...
متن کاملFormation and Sustainment of Field-reversed Configuration by Rotating Magnetic Field with Spatial High-harmonic Components
Abstract. Field-reversed configurations (FRCs) sustained by rotating magnetic fields (RMFs) with spatial highharmonic components have been studied in the metal flux conserver of the FRC injection experiment (FIX) apparatus. The high-harmonic RMF method has some unique features; (1) field lines of the RMF do not penetrate or cross the vessel wall, (2) selective penetration/exclusion of the funda...
متن کاملGeneration and confinement of hot ions and electrons in a reversed-field pinch plasma
By manipulating magnetic reconnection in Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) discharges, we have generated and confined for the first time a reversedfield pinch (RFP) plasma with an ion temperature >1 keV and an electron temperature of 2 keV. This is achieved at a toroidal plasma current of about 0.5 MA, approaching MST’s present maximum. The manipulation begins with intensification of discrete magne...
