Notes:
The components of a typical rotamak device are described and the constructional details of an inexpensive version are given. The operating range of this particular version is described and, as an example, a detailed set of measurements made for one set of initial conditions are presented. Typically, steady toroidal currents of ∼100 A are generated and maintained for the full 40 ms of operation by a ∼1-MHz rotating magnetic field of a few Gauss in amplitude. Plasmas having electron temperatures lying between 5–10 eV and number densities in the 1017-m−3 range are routinely and very reproducibly produced.
