In this paper, the application of the rotating magnetic field method of driving plasma current to the generation of a compact torus configuration known as the rotamak is described. The results obtained in a high-power (few MW), short-duration (approx.80 ..mu..sec) rotamak experiment are presented (Phys. Rev. Lett. 44, 1676 (1980)). In particular, the magnetic structure of the stable, oblate, compact torus configuration that is produced in the experiment is described in detail.
