Some experimental observations of rotamak equilibria made in a high-power, short-duration (approx.80-..mu..s) experiment and a complementary low-power, long-duration experiment are summarized. In the high-power experiment two possible equilibrium phases have been identified: an oblate, compact torus configuration and a ..beta.. = 1, mirrorlike configuration. In the low-power experiment toroidal plasma current has been driven, and a compact torus configuration has been maintained, for several milliseconds.
