Abstract

This article presents the results of firing the University of Saskatchewan Compact Torus Injector (USCTI) in a repetitive mode. In order to enable the USCTI to fire repetitively, modifications were made to its electrical system, control system and data acquisition system. The maximum firing rate achieved on the USCTI was 0.33 Hz. Firing the USCTI in repetitive modes has been successful. It has been shown that the compact toroids (CTs) produced in any given repetitive series are properly formed and repeatable. This is made evident through analysis of the compact toroids data collected from the CTs’ magnetic fields and densities as they traveled along the injector barrel. The shots from each experiment were compared with the series’ mean data and were shown to be consistent over time. Calculations of their correlations show that there are only minimal deviations from shot to shot in any given series.
