A new set of pulsed-inductive thrusters (PITs) have been developed for the Flux-Coil-Generated, Field-Reversed Configuration Experiment (FCX) at Tri Alpha Energy, Inc. This paper details their design, simulation, and measured performance. The simulation solves coupled equations for the circuit currents and plasma parameters, including formation and acceleration. The PIT design involves: 5 pulsed-gas...
The Flux-Coil-Generated, Field-Reversed Configuration Experiment (FCX) at Tri Alpha Energy, Inc. (TAE) requires an initial source of plasma, from which the FRC is formed. This paper details the design, simulation, and performance measured for a new set of PITs developed for the FCX. The simulation solves coupled differential equations for the circuit, plasma parameters, including formation and acceleration...
The Flux-Coil-Generated, Field-Reversed Configuration Experiment (RFDX) at Tri Alpha Energy, Inc. (TAE) requires an initial source of plasma, from which an FRC is formed diamagnetically, using a central, flux-coil solenoid. Pulsed-Inductive-Plasma Thrusters (PIPTs) have been used previously on the TAE C-1 Experiment. This paper details the simulation, design, and measured performance for a new set...
This paper describes the Limiter-Coil Current Controller for the Flux-Coil Generated Field-Reversed Configuration plasma confinement device. It provides independent current regulation for each pair of limiter-coils, allowing control of the magnetic field profile along the horizontal axis of the chamber. A power circuit description and the main principles of the control system design and operation...
