Z machine

Due to the extremely high voltage, the power feeding equipment is submerged in concentric chambers of 2 megalitres (2,000 m³) of transformer oil and 2.3 megalitres (2,300 m³) of deionized water, which act as insulators. Nevertheless, the electromagnetic pulse when the machine is discharged causes impressive lightning, referred to as a "flashover", which can be seen around many of the metallic objects in the room. The Z machine, Z Pulsed Power Facility, is the largest X-ray generator in the world and is designed to test materials in conditions of extreme temperature and pressure.
