Uragan-2M stellarator
The Utragan-2M is a two-shaft (l=2) torsatron with additional toroidal field coils, what provides a magnetic configuration with reduced helical inhomogeneities of magnetic field and moderate sheer and magnetic well values. The construction of the installation is designed for maximum toroidal magnetic field Bmax <2.4 T.
Large number of magnetic windings in Uragan-2M provides varying magnetic configuration parameters within a wide range and thus allows studying the influence of helical magnetic field inhomogeneities on plasma confinement.
It was put into operation at the end of 2006 year.
