STUDY OF UNDERWATER SOUND PROJECTORS

Abstract

The low inductance discharge circuit described in the last report (AD663586) was assembled and tested in water of zero salinity. This progress report describes results obtained with the low-inductance discharge circuit and presents some recommendations to be followed in assembling future low-inductance electric discharge acoustic sources. A versatile pulse-forming network to be used in the near future with the inverse-pinch acoustic sound source has been designed and bench checked. This latter discharge network and some of its features are also described in this report.
