从 1973 年到 1984 年，实验在 ELMO Bumpy Torus (EBT) 中进行。在运行的最后两年期间，已经发表了许多关于实验各个方面的论文。论文总结了最终的实验结论，并对尚未解决的问题进行了讨论。主要结论如下：（1）热电子环宽度的测量表明它们比之前怀疑的更宽，削弱了它们的抗磁性并否定了它们局部反转磁场梯度的能力； (2) 等离子体电势的二维图显示了 C 模式中的开放电势轮廓和 T 模式中靠近等离子体中心的闭合电势轮廓； (3) 始终观察到等离子体电势的进出不对称性，从而产生驱动对流等离子体损失的电场。
Experiments were conducted in the ELMO Bumpy Torus (EBT) from 1973 until 1984. A number of papers have been published concerning various aspects of experiments during the final two years of operation. The paper summarizes the final experimental conclusions and discusses those issues which remain unresolved. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) measurements of the width of the hot electron rings showed them to be wider than previously suspected, diluting their diamagnetism and negating their ability to locally reverse the magnetic field gradient; (2) two-dimensional plots of the plasma potential revealed open potential contours in the C-mode and closed potential contours near the plasma centre in the T-mode; (3) an in–out asymmetry in the plasma potential was always observed, giving rise to electric fields which drove convective plasma loss.
