Hello again Cabbott, glad to see you on the Tesla List :)

As this topic is slightly off list I will keep it short - see below were 
I have injected a few things.

A very attractive shower of sparks caught my eye in a magazine, and it 
just so happened to be related to this z-pinch. I would recomend looking 
up the August 98 Scientific American, and included in it is an article 
on The Z Machine which uses pinching plasma for fusion energy. It is a 
great article on new fusion technology, and the full spread picture af 
sparks covering the project is pretty cool. 
 Good luck with the ball lightning machine Cabbott.
