The equipment generates 80 times more power

The Z-Machine may be the solution to the world's lack of energy. This particular device can emit about 290 teraats / h (1,012 Wh), which is 80 times the current generation capacity of the world.

Located at the Sandia lab in the New Mexico desert, the Z-Machine is primarily used to study fusion reactions such as tracking and checking the explosion of hydrogen bombs. But now scientists are working to turn the device into a giant powerhouse.

This process produces electricity similar to the process of producing electricity from the nucleus, but the major source of hydrogen is from heavy water. However, with today's technology researchers are having trouble controlling the response.

Z-Machine is capable of transmitting pulse electrodes through the tungsten thread at a speed of about 4,800 km / sec.


When activated, the Z-Machine will simultaneously emit 36 pulse rays and release energy equivalent to 50 billion watts, which will then be used to burn cylindrical steel fibers (smaller than fibers). hair) in a special device. When the wires are heated, the temperature can reach up to 3.5 billion degrees Celsius.

The Z-Machine, which measures 30 meters in diameter and 6 meters in height, is capable of transmitting extremely high impulses through the tungsten thread at a speed of about 4,800 kilometers per second. The end of this process creates a tremendous amount of energy, but this energy lasts only a very short time. This amount of electricity is estimated to only be enough to meet the electricity demand of 100 homes within 2 minutes.

So the problem with the scientists now is to study how to control the chain of reactions to create a stable and stable source of energy. If this problem is solved successfully, we can build smaller, less expensive but more efficient nuclear plants.
