Z Machine: the People

Take a peek behind the scenes at the world’s largest pulsed power machine. It takes a variety of people, from physicists to theoreticians to mechanics to support staff to get a shot off. There are a lot of moving parts that have to come together, and they do day after day.

Having seen this in person, in a facilities support role, I am amazed and very proud of my fellow Sandians for the incredible work they do here.

I agree. Great Ingenieurs!

5:11 . . . Yea, optics & lasers ! NOW it's a party . . .🥳🎉 Just wish they'd explain WHAT things exactly are they observing, and HOW they measure it/them. AND how does this machine compare to NIF ??

Very cool! I will pass forward.

Thats pretty neat!

[@goonigoogoo5868]

are you like 75 ? my dad says " neat": he is 75 . never heard anyone younger say that.

Fascinating, thank you. But why, please why, the background music which can only, IMHO, distract? Shame, but I suspect I shan't be watching any more Sandia Labs videos.
