Abstract. This paper describes the following new achievements from the
Helicity Injected Torus (HIT) program: a) formation and sustainment of a
toroidal magnetic equilibrium using coaxial helicity injection (CHI) in a
conducting shell that has an L/R time much shorter than the pulse length; b)
static formation of a spherical torus with plasma current over 180 kA using a
transformer and feedback controlled equilibrium coils; and c) production of a
current increase in a transformer produced spherical torus using CHI.
