Incredible hardware. The second video is basically a shorter version of the first.
Z Machine
Sandia Labs' Z machine is the largest laboratory source of x-rays in the world. For the few nanoseconds of a Z Machine test, its electrical output equals the output of 50x the electrical generating stations of all the power plants on earth.
The Z Machine complex encompasses an area roughly the size of a major college basketball arena.
Originally created to validate nuclear weapons models, the Z Machine is also considered a "dark horse" in the race for viable fusion energy production.
