本文回顾了威斯康星州自1962年以来开展的多极和托卡马克聚变实验研究计划。该方案的重点是通过利用一系列不同的多极装置和极向偏滤器托卡马克进行轴对称环形约束。毛等离子体的稳定性和良好的约束性能的多极导致了一些实验结果不容易实现在其他环形装置。本文介绍了在有和无欧姆加热电流和环向场的多极子中所获得的主要结果，以及它们对等离子体理论发展的影响。在极向偏滤器托卡马克装置中，在安全系数很低的情况下，已经发现了稳定的放电。
A historical survey is given of the experimental multipole and tokamak fusion research programme carried out at the University of Wisconsin since 1962. The programme has concentrated on axisymmetric toroidal confinement through the utilization of a series of different multipole devices and of a poloidal divertor tokamak. The gross plasma stability and good confinement properties of the multipoles led to a number of experimental results not easily achievable in other toroidal devices. The paper describes the major results obtained in multipoles with and without Ohmic heating current and toroidal field, and their influence on the development of plasma theory. In the poloidal divertor tokamak, stable discharges have been found at very low values of the safety factor.
