A novel high-power heating experiment of spherical tori (ST) has been developed in the TS-3 reconnection device using magnetic reconnection of merging STs. This method enables us to inject whole magnetic and thermal energies of a colliding ST into a target ST within short reconnection time. The maximum heating power of 15 MW was obtained in our low-field (0.03-0.08~T) and small-scale (R < 0.2 m) merging experiment. This heating energy is provided mostly by anomalous ion heating effect of magnetic reconnection. The ion heating energy and the merging speed increases with decreasing the q-value (Bt component) of the ST. This heating effect causes the b-values of STs to increase by factor 2-3.
