SPIRAL EXPLOSIVE MAGNETIC GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: explosive magnetic energy sources. SUBSTANCE: generator has movable conductor incorporating explosive charge, detonator, fixed conductor in the form of spiral connected to movable conductor through switching member on one end of spiral and through load on its other end. Movable conductor is made in the form of flat spiral whose turns are made of strip its width being equal to length of fixed- conductor spiral; turns are separated from one another by means of insulating film. Explosive charge is made in the form of thin-walled tube accommodating hollow rod of nonconducting material whose density is higher than that of movable conductor. External surface of movable-conductor spiral turns in planes crossing symmetry axis bears triangular-section grooves. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency and energy gain factor; reduced operating time of generator. 4 cl, 4 dwg
