The TJ-IU Torsatron

In the torsatron TJ-IU, a single coil generates the helicoidal magnetic field (l=1). The number of turns of the coil around the vacuum chamber is m=6. The vertical field is generated by a set of vertical field coils.

The name 'TJ-IU' arises as this machine was an upgrade ('U') of the TJ-I device, in the sense that much auxiliary equipment from the latter was reused to operate TJ-IU.

The making of the TJ-IU vacuum vessel

The device was entirely built in Spain and taken into operation in 1994. In 1999, the device was sent to the University of Kiel, Germany, under a permanent loan agreement, and renamed TJ-K. Currently, TJ-K is located at the University of Stuttgart in Germany.
