Abstract
Summary form only given. In this work, a non-explosive flux compression generator was designed, built and tested. The device is based on an inverse-Z-pinch plasma discharge which is used as the piston field in compressing the seed poloidal magnetic field. The feasibility of non-explosive flux compression generators in driving high impedance loads was demonstrated in an earlier experiment where a coaxial plasma discharge was used in compressing a poloidal seed field.
