Abstract.  Experimental results of the micro-liner implosion study on S-300 and ``Angara-5'' machines have been presented as well as some theoretical results. Our investigations were carried out in a broad range of liner constructions, masses, and chemical compositions. On the S-300 machine with a current value up to 3.5 MA, 1.5 TW X-ray pulse was obtained as a result of multi-wire liner implosion. The measurements of X-ray spectra have been presented. Theoretical investigations and 2.5-d simulations were devoted to some critical points. Double liner implosion approach for X-ray production and distinction between gas-puff and wire array implosions on ``Angara-5'' have been described. The test-bed for multi MJ X-ray generator ``Baikal'' named as ``MOL'' is presented.
