ELEKTRISCHE IMPULSSTROMQUELLE UND EINE VON DIESER GEBRAUCH MACHENDE ELEKTROMAGNETISCHE KANONE

摘要

A pulsed electric current source for feeding an electromagnetic gun with a primary current source and a field compression generator (14) with an electrically conducting field compression enclosure fed by the primary current source (10). The current required for field compression is generated by combustion or detonation of a solid state propergol or explosive mass. The current delivered by the primary source may be obtained by MHD (10). In a modification this current is also generated by detonation. <IMAGE>
