Applications for Compact Portable Pulsed Power: Rocket Science, Cancer Therapy, and the Movies

Abstract

This paper discusses aspects of a review presented in plenary session to the 26th Power Modulator Conference, May 2006, in Washington D.C. The goal was to present results from a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative that focused on research into Compact Portable Pulsed Power, and to toss out a few ideas, looking ahead. The MURI was led by USC, with collaborators from the U. Missouri (Columbia) and Texas Tech University. The Conference was kind enough to encourage a presentation, after something rather similar, that is, a discussion of new applications and research issues for power modulators, presented to the conference 10 years ago (when it was called the Power Modulator Symposium). Hopefully, the results below will show some advancement in the numbers and diversity of applications reported a decade ago.
