Thanks for taking a look. Sometimes pictures explain more than words.

I’m hoping to eventually characterize what it would take to run like how much current the fusion channel needs in order to operate. I know z pinch machines typically run from 100kA to 10MA but they run in pulsed mode. I was hoping if it runs sustained it wouldn’t need as high of a power spike.
