14. 14 One concept, assuming a similar pulsed power architecture to the Z accelerator (Ref. 7), is to join the transmission lines of two independent devices (one for the top pinch and one for the lower pinch; each capable of 63 MA) in the water section. Using vertical triplates in water the combined EM power, one single waveform, can be split at the stack into the two magnetically-insulated transmission lines (MITL's): one for the top pinch
