Abstract

A description of the Tornado-X magnetic trap for plasma confinement and heating is given. The results of the first investigations of a decaying plasma are presented, which lead to the conclusion that the plasma losses are determined by classical diffusion. The plasma is heated by utilizing the drift of charged particles in crossed magnetic and electric fields. The parameters of the rotating plasma obtained in the Tornado-650 facility are reproduced in the initial stage.
