Abstract
The Galathea-3 device, which consists of a coaxial plasma gun, a plasma guide, a lock chamber, and the Trimyx Galathea confinement system with three myxines, is briefly described. The plasma parameters at the outlet from the plasma gun, in the plasma guide, and in the confinement system are presented. It is shown that the plasma can be efficiently entrapped into the Galathea and spread out along it. The confined plasma is found to go beyond the Ohkawa surfaces. Estimates show that the particle losses from the system are on the order of the classical ones.
