Half-and-half HFCG with double-end initiation

Plasma Physics 2022-05-31 v1

Abstract

Design of helical flux compression generator with double-end initiation is described. The developed design approach makes it possible to increase the power in the load by 60\% and shorten the rise time of the pulse by 83\% in comparison with a conventional helical FCG that is made in the same dimensions but with the single-end initiation of explosive. When using an electro-explosive opening switch, the developed FCG allows one to increase the switched current by 35\%.
