In fusion power research, the Z-pinch (zeta pinch) is a type of plasma confinement system that uses an electric current in the plasma to generate a magnetic...

to commercialize fusion power through use of a sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch. The company is based near Seattle with research facilities in Everett...

Pinch phenomena A pinch (or: Bennett pinch (after Willard Harrison Bennett), electromagnetic pinch, magnetic pinch, pinch effect, or plasma pinch.) is...

forces. Bennet successfully researched the application of Z-pinches to plasma compression. The Z machine layout is cylindrical. On the outside it houses...

various confinement concepts. The early emphasis was on three main systems: z-pinch, stellarator, and magnetic mirror. The current leading designs are the...

uncertainty involved is much greater. Somewhat in a class by itself is the Z-pinch, which has circular field lines. This was one of the first concepts tried...

such design would be beset with similar problems, and research using the z-pinch approach largely ended. An early attempt to build a magnetic confinement...

on Z-pinch devices had largely ended, although some research continued on the related theta-pinch concept. Tuck never restricted himself to the pinch concept...

from the z-pinch concept. Both the DPF and pinch use large electrical currents run through a gas to cause it to ionize into a plasma and then pinch down on...
