Folks;

Just asking, but has anyone contacted Sandia Labs, and asked after the switching system they use for their Z-machine? The Z-machine also shunts huge currents – sending them through a fine mesh of wires to produce a ‘z-pinch’ – to produce X-rays. I think they’re using oil-bathed switches, but I may be wrong.
