Abstract

The design and fabrication techniques for a large hybrid magnetic cusp plasma generator developed for 30 s pulse length are described. Included are the magnetic cusp geometry features, water cooling characteristics, filament structures, and the high energy density actively cooled anode and electron dump employed.
