Apparatus for producing a pinched plasma at high kinetic energy levels which includes an elongated containment means having a generally cylindrically shaped bore defining a reservoir, an electrically conductive liquid within the bore and means for rotating the liquid to create centrifugal force sufficient to create a cylindrical space generally along the axis of the bore, means for creating a plasma within the cylindrical space, means for applying a magnetic field the length of the bore and means for mechanically reducing the diameter of the bore and cylindrical space to compress the magnetic field to provide a pinch effect on the plasma.
