The U. K. MAGPIE fusion approach uses a circular array of exploding wires
to get closer to the temperature and energy density required for hot fusion.
"MAGPIE is a TeraWatt (1012 W) pulsed power generator used for dense z-pinch experiments
in the Plasma Physics group at Imperial College, London."
The proposed Conductive Jet Switch if configured as multiple jets should serve
in place of the exploding wires.
The dish sprayer at the kitchen sink if immersed facing upward below the surface
in a bowl of water illustrates the point rather nicely.
