APP designed the 1.2 MV, 800 kA, 150 ns FIREX pulsed power source used in the Field-Reversed Ion Ring Experiment (FIREX) program at Cornell University. FIREX is intended as a major step toward the realization of a field-reversed Ion Ring or Ion Ring/FRC reactor in which large orbit ions provide MHD stability to a high-β field-reversed configuration.
More information is available in a paper published at the 1995 IEEE International Pulsed Power Conference and on the Cornell FIREX website.
