Abstract When “exploded” electrically, the energy transfer into thin metallic wires is hindered by an MHD-instability of the type m = O. The development of this instability can be delayed by external magnetic fields or by the use of high potential at the terminals of the wire; locally very high temperatures are thus obtained. If conductive liquid threads are exploded which contain much deuterium, d, d-reactions are observed at particle densities higher than 10^23 per cm3• After an explosion, the liquid thread can be replaced within milliseconds and hence the way for a periodically working machine is open. It looks as if the development of the instability is essential for the local increase of density and temperature leading to the nuclear reactions.
EFS Comments: Excited RM LEEF fuel is another level energy beyond this level of experiment.
