Sub-OHM Coaxial Pulse Generators, BLACKJACK 3, 4 and 5

Abstract

The absence of published information on the BLACKJACK machines prompts me to review their development during the past decade. This effort has produced a series of terawatt level, low impedance coaxial pulse generators. It is worthwhile to catalogue them here and to present solutions to various design problems. In addition, I will briefly discuss our present machine development and point out some of the present problems in this technology.
