What’s the record for plasma anyway?

The hottest machine I know is Sandia’s Z-Machine, reaching 1.8 milliard degrees Kelvin (that’s billion for you Americans). So about the same as Focus-Fusion-1, but by vaporizing tungsten wires.

So FuFo-1 has catched up to world record?

Other fusion efforts are way behind as far as I know.

Particle accelerators reach TeV, but they don’t count, because with them you can count every single particle (yawn!).
