Multi-Stage Flux-Trapping Helical Flux Compression Generators

Abstract

Several types of multi-stage flux-trapping helical flux compression generators for high impedance loads are considered. Short-pulse two-stage helical generators with diameter 100 mm and initial energy of 0.5-3 kJ have supplied energy up to 40 kJ into a 5-microH inductive load in a time of about 15 microsecond. Long-pulse two-stage generators with final helix diameter of 110 mm initial energy of 0.8- 2.7 kJ have supplied energy up to 350 kJ into a 0.3-microH inductive load. Long-pulse three-stage generators with final helix diameter of 160 mm and initial energy of approximately 5 kJ have supplied up to 700 kJ into a 0.5-microH inductive load. Model generators without flux trapping and with final helix diameter of 160 mm and initial energy of approximately 20 kJ have supplied energy up to 1.0 MJ into a 0.5-microH inductive load. Long-pulse two-stage generators with final helix diameter of 160 mm and initial energy of approximately 30 kJ produce energy up to 1.6 MJ in a load of 0.5-microH.
