Abstract
A novel method of electron cyclotron wave current startup has been proposed , in which a discharge between a pair of electrodes is introduced and forms a magnified toroidal plasma current in a strong toroidal field and a weak vertical field. The method has been demonstrated on the CT-GB tokamak. The experimental results are consistent with a model that is suggested.
