Abstract
Some early studies of the pinch effect, made with a view to its application to the problem of developing a thermonuclear reaction are here presented, together with experimental arrangements for producing pinched discharges in toroidal and straight discharge tubes. Dynamical properties of the pinch and its instabilities are demonstrated, and the possibility of stabilizing the latter is mentioned.Keywords
