Pulse Power Applications of Flux Compression Generators

Characteristics are presented for two different types of explosive driven flux compression generators and a megavolt pulse transformer. Status reports are given for rail gun and plasma focus programs for which the generators serve as power sources. See also ADM002371. 2013 IEEE Pulsed Power Conferen...
