Quoted from The Electric Universe: “Electrical discharges (Lichtenberg figures) illuminate the surface of the Z machine, the world’s most powerful X-ray source, during a recent accelerator shot. The most recent advance gave an X-ray power of about 290 trillion watts for billionths of a second, about 80 times the entire world’s output of electricity.”
