We recently hosted Bill Reass—a renowned pulse power expert with over 50 years of experience in the field, including with top U.S. national labs and universities. He joined Blake Rablah, our Manager of Pulsed Power Systems, for a week in our lab as we prepare to compress plasmas in LM26 soon. Did you know? Pulsed power is storing accumulated energy over time and discharging it rapidly for instantaneous power (like a lightning bolt ⚡). Our MTF approach uses pulsed power in various applications: ⚡ Ionizing the target gas to become a plasma ⚡ Forcing the plasma into the target chamber of the plasma injector ⚡ Generating the stabilizing magnetic field that helps keep our plasma confined ⚡ Compressing the plasma via a conducting metal lithium liner Thank you for visiting and sharing your expertise with us, Bill!
Great to have Bill here. We've always worked well together and we get great value out of his visits.
Are those the old Kirk Modules! If so, I'm glad they are getting some use! I had those in my lab about 10 years ago.
Awesome
Bill is the best!
Pajarito 👌👌👌

1hThose look very familiar. I remember using those a decade ago. Fun working with pulsed power.
