Conventional Flux Compression Generators (FCG's) are used to generate high power DC pulses. A new kind of (FCG's) with series capacitance called Capacitive Flux Compression Generator (CFCG) will be introduced and explained in this paper. This new kind is used to generate modulated high power pulses. There are some problems to establish a capacitance in high power and high frequency applications...

This paper presents an approach to calculate the equivalent stray capacitance (SC) of n-turn of the helical flux compression generator (HFCG) coil with multi layer conductor wire filaments (MLCWF) in the form of rectangular cross-section. This approach is based on vespiary regular hexagonal (VRH) model. In this method, wire filaments of the generator coil are separated into many very small simi...

Sixty years after the first magnetic flux compression experiments were performed, it is now appropriate to attempt a classification of the various devices that are known collectively as either magnetic flux-compression generators or magnetocumulative generators. This paper summarises the main characteristics on which such a classification of generators can conveniently be based, with emphasis g...

A wire-array flux-compression cartridge installed on Sandia's Saturn pulsed power generator doubled the current into a 3-nH load to 6 MA and halved its rise time to 100 ns. The current into the load, however, was unexpectedly delayed by almost 1 micros. Estimates of a plasma flow switch acting as a long-conduction-time opening switch are consistent with key features of the power compression. Th...

In recent years, the detailed mathematical modelling and design of helical flux compression generators has been the subject of many technical publications. A number of significant and important issues that arise during the design are not however always fully appreciated, and the paper aims to remedy this by addressing these issues and discussing how their various effects can be identified.

A two stage Magneto-Cumulative Generator employing simple construction techniques and inexpensive explosives has been explored by the Air Force Weapons Laboratory. The first stage in the cascade MCG system is constructed with a helically wound, insulated cable stator and an aluminum armature filled with (Comp C-4) explosive. The 0.5 1 MJ output energy of this generator is coupled, inductively, ...

this paper presents the application of radial basis neural networks to the development of a novel method for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of synchronous generators. in the proposed scheme, flux linkage analysis is used to reach a decision. probabilistic neural network (pnn) and discrete wavelet transform (dwt) are used in design of fault diagnosis system. pnn as main part of thi...

Various types of explosive flux compression generators are illustrated and their relative advantages are compared. Experiments are described in which energy was supplied by these generators. The experiments were selected to show both versatility and limitations of the devices. Generator principles are derived from lumped parameter circuit theory. ,
