PRODUCING POWERFUL RADIO PULSES BY THE ELECTRIC EXPLOSION OF METAL WIRES (POLUCHENIYE MOSHCHNYKH RADIOIMPUL'SOV PRI POMOSHCHI ELEKTRICHESKOGO VZRYVA METALLICHESKIKH PROVOLOK)
Abstract
An investigation is made of impact excitation of a parallel oscillating circuit, connected in series with wires 'exploded' by a highdensity current. Copper and silver wires 0.040.1 mm in diameter and 1.5-2.5 cm long were used as switching elements. It is shown that given a discharge potential of 4.5- 7 kv and a storage capacity of 0.58 to 0.77 uf, weakly damped (logarithmic damping decrement of 3-6 x 10 to the -2 power oscillations are generated during the current pause, characterized by currents of the order of 100-1000 amp and frequency within the range from 2.6 to 29 Mc/sec.
