The TJ-K device is a torsatron.
The TJ-K device is a torsatron with a single helical coil (''l''=1, ''m''=6).

TJ-K was originally names [[TJ-IU]], constructed at [[CIEMAT]] in Madrid, Spain.
TJ-K was originally named [[TJ-IU]], and was constructed at [[CIEMAT]] in Madrid, Spain.
TJ-IU was taken into operation in 1994.
TJ-IU was taken into operation in 1994, and was operated at relatively high magnetic field (0.5 T) and heating power (200 kW of ECRH heating), and corresponding relatively high values of the plasma parameters.


In 1999, TJ-K was transferred to Kiel, Germany, and in 2005 to the [http://www.ipf.uni-stuttgart.de/gruppen/pdd/pdd_tjk.html IPF institute] in Stuttgart, Germany.
In 1999, TJ-K was transferred to Kiel, Germany, and in 2005 to the [http://www.ipf.uni-stuttgart.de/gruppen/pdd/pdd_tjk.html IPF institute] in Stuttgart, Germany.
In its reincarnation as TJ-K, the device is operated at low magnetic field and heating (1-6 kW of ECRH), and corresponding low values of the plasma parameters (electron density: 5 &times; 10<sup>17</sup> m<sup>-3</sup>; electron temperature: 10 eV; ion temperature: 1 eV).
