In order to prepare a large scale experiment and explore the magnetostrophic balance,
a small scale liquid sodium experiment (50 litres) has been set-up.
It consists of a rapidly rotating shell filled with liquid sodium,
in which motions are set by spinning at a different rotation rate an inner core permeated by a strong magnetic field.
We will discuss the processes that will be explored with this device.
