FBX is a production and confinement scheme of a spherical torus that carries a strong plasma current with both toroidal and poloidal components. On the other hand HI–I is a fundamental experiment on moving plasma. With two of them, new type of fusion reactor scheme FBX–III BURNER (III) is established. In this paper, the fundamental results of the first two types of experiments are introduced to find out a total plasma behaviour of the long term project.
