Nonlinear MHD simulations show that Mercier-unstable Wendelstein configurations generate a tokamak-like dynamo early, but partial reconnection and multi-mode competition prevent sustained flux pumping, so current drive and marginal stability may be needed.

A comparison of low-n Mercier unstable Wendelstein stellarators and quasi-interchange modes in tokamaks
Nonlinear MHD simulations show that Mercier-unstable Wendelstein configurations generate a tokamak-like dynamo early, but partial reconnection and multi-mode competition prevent sustained flux pumping, so current drive and marginal stability may be needed.
