In 1991, Turchi et al. reported evidence for a 2000 km/s aluminum plasma that originated from the upstream boundary of a wire array armature in a plasma flow switch (PFS). The 2008 article by Turchi et al. posits that if such high $Z$ plasma could in

Plasma guns offer opportunities to generate and direct plasma flows at high energy density. Typically, such guns comprise coaxial electrodes that are connected to high-current sources (e.g., capacitor banks, pulse lines, inductive stores, or magnetic

Preparation of the target plasma represents a critical issue in liner compression techniques to achieve fusion conditions. We consider the use of an ultrahigh speed plasma flow from a special coaxial-gun arrangement known as the plasma flow switch. E

Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a means to compress plasmas to fusion conditions that uses magnetic fields to greatly reduce electron thermal conduction, thereby greatly reducing compression power density requirements. The compression is achieved b

Measurements are presented of the current per unit length as a function of the transverse distance from the center of a water-tamped 80 μm Al foil that narrows to a central width of 15.2 cm as it explodes into warm dense matter by Ohmic heating. Cur
