Wikipedia has details on the "Zmachine" It has very extensive capabilities such as reaching 3.6 billion °F , and the future plans of fusion and energy output of 1 petawatt (roughly the output 2,700 Nuclear power plants)
I agree the video does no justice to the awesome stuff going on there right now.
That's awsome!! I grew up on KAFB back in 84-87 on Argus Loop next to Kirtland Elemantary School where I went and with the AFWL not far from my neighbor hood. I remember that Sandia Labs was on the other side of the base not far from the National Atomic Museum. I miss Kirtland so bad!
I am confused. How can Sandia produce such a sohpisticated machine and yet the youtube video is so low-tech and lame?

I think that it is only used for X-RAYS.
