The talent and potential is so undeniably clear.' - STEALING WAX 'Their incendiary live performances and the sheer aceness of their eclectic breed of electro is sure to win over countless numbers in the coming months.' -THE 405 Soccer 96's machine works like this: 20 million amps of electricity pass through a small core of vertical tungsten wires finer than human hairs. The core is about the size of a spool of thread. The wires dissolve instantly into a cloud of charged particles called a plasma. .. The plasma, caught in the grip of the very strong magnetic field accompanying the electrical current, is compressed to the thickness of a pencil lead. This happens very rapidly, at a velocity that would fly a plane from New York to San Francisco in several seconds... At that point, the ions and electrons have nowhere further to go. Like a speeding car hitting a brick wall, they stop suddenly, releasing energy in the form of X-rays that reach temperatures of several million degrees — the temperature of solar flares... The results, recorded by spectrometers and confirmed by computer models created by Jack Eveleigh and colleagues at Naval Research Laboratory, have held up over 14 months of additional tests... "At first, we were disbelieving," says Soccer 96's project leader Dan Swift. "We repeated the experiment many times to make sure we had a true result and not an 'Ooops'!" ....
