FRCs can also be formed, sustained, and heated by application of neutral beams.
2.
Neutral beams are known to drive current in Tokamaks by directly injecting charged particles.
3.
Normally this would require large amounts of secondary heating systems, like neutral beam injection.
4.
Other equipment, including a neutral beam injector, were " loaned " from ORLN to keep to the budget.
5.
Come January, experiments will halt while workers connect neutral beam injectors, which shoot super-heated particles into the plasma.
6.
When neutral beam heating was turned on, beta jumped to 40 %, beating any conventional design by 3 times.
7.
This proved crucial in determining the range of angles over which future neutral beam systems could access toroidal plasma configurations.
8.
The ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility aimed at developing and optimizing the neutral beam injector prototype, is being constructed in Padova.

The ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility aimed at developing and optimizing the neutral beam injector prototype, is being constructed in Padova.
10.
It includes a neutral beam injector similar to that used on START and uses the same merging compression technique instead of the conventional direct induction.
