Effects of rotating field frequency on the ROTAMAK configuration.

Abstract

Experiments have been undertaken at three rotating field frequencies 1.0 1.85 and 3.5 MHz to determine the effect upon the rotamak configuration and the driven toroidal current. Toroidal current has been driven at all three rotating field frequencies for each of the gases studied. The results indicate that the 1.0 MHz frequency chosen for the rotating field in the high power AAEC rotamak experiments appears to be satisfactory.
