They commonly achieve a transient beta ratio of 11%. Problems in these devices include kink instabilities, when helical bulges develop and the material touches a chamber wall, cooling quickly.

They are similar to stellarators, but make use of the plasma current to generate the helical component of the confining magnetic field. FTP, identify these toroidal plasma fusion devices first suggested by Tamm and Sakharov.
