EXPLOSION-MAGNETIC CURRENT PULSE SHAPER Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: shaper has destructed conductor 1 with insulating jet shaper 2 having cumulative dents 3 on surface facing destructed conductor 1 and insulating jet quencher 4, both arranged on opposite sides of the former, current conductor 5 placed on other side of quencher 4 and connected to one end of destructed conductor, second current conductor 6 placed on other side of jet shaper 2 and connected to other end of destructed conductor 1, explosive material charge 7 placed above second current conductor 6. Jet shaper 2 is mounted with gap δ in respect to current conductor 6 according to relationship 0,1 Δ_js≅ δ≅ Δ_js,, where δ_js is jet shaper thickness. Gap provided between jet shaper and second current conductor affords additional energy cumulation due to compression of deformed outline by means of explosive charge meant for conductor destruction. This does not reduce speed of its destruction which increases output power of pulse shaper. EFFECT: improved output power of pulse shaper. 4 dwg
