Description
Sandia's Z Machine firing. The "arcs and sparks" formed at the water-air interface travel between metal conductors. Sandia's Z Machine has produced plasmas that exceed temperatures of 2 billion degrees Kelvin, which is hotter than the interiors of stars. The unexpectedly hot output, if its cause were understood and harnessed, could eventually mean that smaller, less costly nuclear fusion plants would produce the same amount of energy as larger plants.
