Flux compression transformer

摘要

A direct current flux compression transformer includes a magnetic envelope having poles defining a magnetic axis and characterized by a pattern of magnetic flux lines in polar symmetry about the axis. The magnetic flux lines are spatially displaced relative to the magnetic envelope using control elements which are mechanically stationary relative to the core. Further provided are inductive elements which are also mechanically stationary relative to the magnetic envelope. Spatial displacement of the flux relative to the inductive elements will cause flow of electrical current. Further provided are magnetic flux valves which provide for the varying of the magnetic reluctance to create a time domain pattern of respectively enhanced and decreased magnetic reluctance across such magnetic valves and, thereby, across the inductive elements. A flow of electric current is generated without mechanical motion of inductive elements relative to the magnetic envelope. The output waveform at the secondary can be taken in various combinations of polarity, voltage and current.
