Dave, Joe, and all:

I've posted a number of papers on the web sites in the Sig below,
discussion a plasmoid concept (PMK) that in STP air looks like BL, which
has application to acceleration by punch coils as well as for 3-D
compression for fusion ignition, using an appropriate fuel. We have
photos of the experimental results, although it doesn't yet contain our
recent work. In one shot caught on a 1000 frame/sec CCD, we observed the
formation pulse, that formed one which was immediately accelerated by
residual EMP to 50 km/sec.

Hope this helps.
