Experimental Study of Compact Explosive Driven Shock Wave Ferroelectric Generators
Abstract
The design of explosive driven ferroelectric generators is presented and experimental data are discussed. The active elements are lead zirconium titanate (PZT) disks with diameter D = 25 mm and thicknesses H = 2.5 mm and H = 6 mm and PZT cylinders with D = 21 mm and H = 25 mm. The high explosive charge was varied from 4.2 g to 30 g. Two different ways to initiate shock waves in the active elements were used: explosively driven flyer plates and direct action of high explosives. The data presented is for the maximum power into a resistive load.
