A novel method for creating the spheromak configuration has been proposed and verified experimentally. The scheme is based on a transfer of poloidal and toroidal magnetic fluxes into a plasma from a "flux core. " We present the first experimental verification of this quasistatic (₀₋₅ₕ{en}₅₎ₑ₌<₃₈₅₅) formation scheme, which is suitable for future scaleup to fusion-reactor parameters.
