And here is the press note related to October test campaign:

http://jlopez2022.wordpress.com/2013/10/23/the-extreme-100-gigabar-pressure-barrier-under-10-megaamps-and-a-hundred-kiloteslas-discharge-achieved-by-pulsotron/

The extreme 100 gigabar pressure barrier under 10 megaamps and a hundred kiloteslas discharge achieved by Pulsotron.

Spain, October 2013, the new isolators survived undamaged with no loss of material and with their white surfaces as clean as new after the strike of one of the most powerful pressure waves ever generated.

The Pulsotron team was worried because the new hardest isolators were brittle. Fortunately this was taken into account in the mechanical design of the target isolators that received one of the most extreme shocks ever generated in the world during the injection of the most powerful darts used in Pulsotron testing.

Also due to the absence of debris smoke, more powerful darts could be tested, one of them reached the 10 megaamps barrier and another reached 100 kiloteslas (well over the future ITER 40 teslas).

Due to the requirements of the international investors, the Pulsotron team is now working hard on the next test campaign that will be performed under the independent inspection of an external company which is world leader in Testing,Inspection and Certification in order to obtain an independent evaluation of fusion conditions.
