The construction and operation of a steady-state toroidal plasma device are described. The toroidal plasma can be maintained without any rotational transform and the plasma quality is significantly better than that in linear devices. It opens up new areas for basic plasma physics research. Examples of experiments on wave propagation, heating, and current generation are presented.
