This paper overviews the progress of the dynamic hohlraum (DH) related experimental research on an 8-MA facility during the last five years. The paper makes a conclusion to the research of the typical characteristic of the DH energetics, as well as a comparison with Z-facility. A detailed demonstration of the diagnostic method and results is given on the features of shock wave propagation and DH formation during wire-array implosion and interaction with the low-density foam. Some optimization processes for the DH load are reported. In the end, analysis and conclusion are conducted on experimental exploration of the DH driven capsule implosion.
