EXPLOSIVE MAGNETOCUMULATIVE GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: off- line pulse current sources for experimental physics. SUBSTANCE: proposed generator is used to convert chemical energy of explosive material to electricity. Initial energy source is made of four annular permanent magnets different in their diameters and arranged in pairs one inside other on either side of compression planes. Poles of internal and external magnets are facing different sides. Annular magnets abut by their inner side surfaces against flat electrodes made in the form of flat spirals on insulating substrate. Distance between opposing magnets "d", radial height of external magnets "h", and explosive-material charge thickness "δ" are interrelated by expression 3δ≤d≤2h. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities, reduced weight and size, enhanced gain. 2 cl, 1 dwg
