MAGNETOEXPLOSIVE GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: conversion of explosive chemical energy into electromagnetic energy. SUBSTANCE: generator has external and internal coaxial conductors, explosive charge disposed in internal conductor, and charge initiating system installed at its butt-ends. Part of internalconductor outer surface is shaped symmetrically to collision plane of detonating waves in compliance with equation where μ is explosive-to-internal-conductor mass ratio per its unit length; y_o is flying base of internal conductor equal to difference in radii of external conductor and outer surface of internal conductor on its non-shaped portion. EFFECT: enhanced generator power. 1 cl, 3 dwg
