Copper and aluminum mm-diameter rods have been driven by a mega-ampere current pulse at UNR's Nevada Terawatt Facility. The facility's z-pinch delivers 1 M A in ∼100 ns producing megagauss surface magnetic fields that diffuse into the skin layer, ohmically heating the load and causing plasma formation. The load radius is designed such that it is in the “thick wire” regime; the radius is much thicker...
Explosive plasma expansion in an external magnetic field occurs in a variety of space and astrophysical events that include supernova explosions in the interstellar magnetic field and the interaction of solar coronal mass ejections with planetary magnetospheres. Effects of the interaction of plasma winds with magnetic obstacles were investigated in the laboratory using a laser produced plasma plume...
