Oblate FRC Formation by a Single Flux-Core in the TS-6 Spherical Torus Device
We report a novel method for forming an oblate FRC through a modified single spheromak formation by a single flux-core coil with toroidal and poloidal coil windings. We have observed that by applying an external magnetic field that pulls the plasma during its formation, an initially formed spheromak-like plasma linked to a flux core coil splits into a spheromak and an oblate FRC.
