摘要：

In the rotamak concept, a rotating magnetic field is used to drive toroidal plasma current in a compact torus device in a non-inductive manner. The latest results from a 0.5 m diameter rotamak apparatus are presented. These show that, for a given filling pressure of hydrogen, it is possible to drive more current, whilst simultaneously preserving the compact torus configuration, by increasing the amount of RF power transferred to the plasma. Attention is drawn to the fact that a fair evaluation of the rotamak concept requires experimentation at higher RF power levels than are presently available.
