Co-axial Helicity Injection on the STOR-M Tokamak
Carl Dunlea, Chijin Xiao, Akira Hirose
Injection of relatively high density spheromaks with significant helicity-content into a tokamak has been proposed as a means for fueling and current drive. The CHI (Co-axial Helic…
A model for plasma-neutral fluid interaction and its application to a study of CT formation in a magnetised Marshall gun
Carl Dunlea, Chijin Xiao, Akira Hirose
A model for plasma/neutral fluid interaction was developed and included in the DELiTE code framework implementation of non-linear MHD equations. The source rates of ion, electron a…
First results from plasma edge biasing on SPECTOR
Carl Dunlea, General Fusion Team, Chijin Xiao +1
A description of an edge-biasing experiment conducted on the SPECTOR (Spherical Compact Toroid) plasma injector is presented, along with initial results. The insertion of a disc-sh…
Magnetic Levitation and Compression of Compact Tori
Carl Dunlea, Stephen Howard, Wade Zawalski +5
The magnetic compression experiment at General Fusion was a repetitive non-destructive test to study plasma physics to Magnetic Target Fusion compression. A compact torus (CT) is f…
