Contents I. Introduction
There are some ideas of combining the benefits gained from the inertial and magnetic approaches to the problems of controlled thermonuclear fusion [1], when a rather high magnetic field applied to the system is capable of localizing a thermonuclear plasma in a space and suppressing a conductive heat outflow as well as diffusion of alpha particles from the fusion region. In theory, it has been shown that cylindrical liner systems radially accelerated by the electrodynamic Lorentz force and at the same time compressing the initial longitudinal magnetic field at high magnetic Reynolds numbers can be efficiently used to generate ultrahigh (up to 100 MGs) magnetic fields [2]. Such configuration wherein there are both azimuthal and axial magnetic field components will be referred to as --pinch as in [3]. --pinch implosion produces a total magnetic field shear efficiently restraining the growth of various magnetohydrodynamic instabilities that ultimately ruin the original cylindrical symmetry of the entire configuration [4].
