Abstract

A novel method for creating the spheromak configuration has been proposed and verified experimentally. The scheme is based on a transfer of poloidal and toroidal magnetic fluxes into a plasma from a "flux core." We present the first experimental verification of this quasistatic (Alfvenform<diff) formation scheme, which is suitable for future scaleup to fusion-reactor parameters.
