Wendelstein 7-AS


The Wendelstein 7-AS (Advanced Stellarator) was located at the Max Planck Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP) in Garching, Germany. The denomination 'advanced' refers to the use of modular (non-planar) coils. It has been operated from 1988 to July, 2002. [1] Its successor is the W7-X stellarator.
