Abstract	Summary form only given. The generation and destruction of magnetic field is an important feature of solar, magnetosphere and cosmic plasmas, for example during reconnection, dynamo, and turbulent processes. We have experimentally measured spatially resolved profiles of magnetic flux ropes. These data include ion flow, magnetic field, current density, and plasma pressure, which allow us to verify a screw pinch equilibrium and also infer the electron fluid flow in three dimensions. Parallel currents along each flux rope result in a mutual attraction, which compresses and distorts the cylindrically symmetric equilibrium profiles. The electron and ion fluid flows turn out to be different, and we show that sheared axial electron fluid flow v_e generates magnetic field B(t) via the induction term curl X̅v_e X B = -curl X E = dB/dt. Data show a quadrupole out of plane magnetic field signature with four fold symmetry that is driven by flux rope flows with two fold symmetry. This mechanism provides a natural and general mechanism for large scale sheared flows to acquire smaller scale magnetic features, disordered structure, and possibly turbulence.
