Since the last annual report (September 1983), the changes to the High Beta Q Machine (HBQM) which permit plasma production along a helical axis have been successfully completed. We have begun to experimentally investigate the equilibrium and stability of linear heliacs with bean-shaped flux cross-sections and also the simpler linear l=1 stellarator with nearly circular flux cross-sections.
