We have demonstrated trapping, confinement, acceleration, and dumping of electrons in a betatron which has a geometry similar to the Astron. 76 +- 22 nC were accelerated to 800 +- 100 keV. This corresponds to a circulating electron current of 60 A. The betatron has a 6-cm orbit radius and is 1 m long. Electrons are injected tangentially from a 70-kV, 15-A field emission diode. A toroidal field roughly equal to the betatron field is used.
