The Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device (ETPD) is an experimental physics device housed at the Basic Plasma Science Facility at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It previously operated as the Electric Tokamak (ET) between 1999 and 2006 and was noted for being the world's largest tokamak before being decommissioned due to the lack of ...
Adiabatic Toroidal Compressor (ATC) The Princeton Large Torus (or PLT ), was an early tokamak built at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). It was one of the first large scale tokamak machines and among the most powerful in terms of current and magnetic fields. Originally built to demonstrate that larger devices would have better ...
ETPD: The Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device (ETPD) The ETPD device is housed on the main floor of the STRB building. The device was originally constructed as a tokamak and if run in that mode, it would still be the physically-largest tokamak in the world. Figure 1, left: Photograph of the ETPD device.
fluctuations of a helium plasma in the Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device (ETPD) at UCLA using 4-tip Langmuir probes to measure potential and ion saturation current. ETPD is a simple magne-tized torus with major radius 5 m. The toroidal vacuum chamber has a rectangular cross section that is 3 m tall and 2 m wide.
Compact toroids are a class of toroidal plasma [1] configurations that are self-stable, and whose configuration does not require magnet coils running through the center of the toroid.
Abstract. Utilizing the Enormous Toroidal Plasma Device (ETPD), a large toroidal chamber (30 m in circumference) with a Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6) cathode, a pulsed plasma was created the plasma beta (β =nek(T +T. i) B2/(2µ0) ) was measured for various plasma parameters.
