OHTE represents a new class of stabilized Z pinches that employs helical windings to achieve pitch reversal at the edge of the plasma. An introduction to the OHTE concept is provided along with a description of the present OHTE and an evaluation of ignition requirements for future devices. Also a potentially attractive approach to power production is illustrated through the OHTE renewable core reactor concept.
