A same-scale comparison of conventional railguns, augmented railguns, and helical launchers is presented and discussed. While the ideal launcher is always 100% efficient, practical launchers have an efficiency which is a function of the projectile velocity and a new parameter called the characteristic velocity. The characteristic velocity is the velocity needed for 50% maximum efficiency. The motivation for a same-scale comparison is an accounting for the velocity-dependent efficiency effect. The same scale concept states that launcher comparisons should be done on an equal bore diameter, launcher length, projectile mass, and velocity basis. Other parameters developed by the authors and included in the analysis, are the launcher constant and the mode constant that account for the launcher geometry and the mode of operation, respectively. The analysis uses experimental data collected by the authors with conventional railgun, augmented railgun, and helical gun launchers

The ILC Marx modulator development program at SLAC is working towards developing a full-scale ILC Marx 'reference design' modulator prototype, with the goal of significantly reducing the size and cost of the ILC modulator, while improving overall modulator efficiency and availability. The ILC reference design prototype will provide a proof-of-concept model to industry in advance of phase II SBIR funding, and also allow operation of the new 10MW L-Band Klystron prototypes immediately upon their arrival at SLAC

Sci-Eng solutions has made significant progress towards the development of a "direct-drive" Marxed-coiled transmission pulse generator that incorporates solid dielectric nano-ceramic polymer coaxial transmission lines that are spiraled into axial coil "compact disks" and switched in a Marx generator configuration to produce high-voltage flat-topped pulses into narrow band high power microwave sources such as relativistic magnetrons

The LGPT devices are performing to specification in both di/dt and action per unit area, and have demonstrated durability beyond 107 shots at system rep-rate (5-7 pps). The present devices represent minimum-size building-block units for use in near and far-term KrF IFE laser drivers, and they employ on-board optical sources for direct illumination of the silicon thyristor structure. Typical operating parameters for the devices undergoing durability tests are 16.4 kV forward blocking, peak currents of 1.5 to 2.5 kA per cm2, for an 800 ns pulsewidth, and di/dt's of up to 25 kA/usec/cm2. Two practical methods are there for directly illuminating the silicon: through the electrode surfaces as has been practiced for the past 5 years, and a new method employing the laser bar arrays in a side-shine geometry. The nearest-term application for the devices is in the retro-fitting of the FE2 laser pre-amplifier. This driver employs a topology that is scaleable to KrF IFE power generation. It is a fast Marx-charged, single-stage magnetic pulse compressor. The Marx, as delivered in 2004, is gas-switched, but specifically designed to be retro-fitted with the first generation of the program's LGPT's. Full scale KrF IFE-class pulsed power compressors have also been conceptualized, and will be utilized in those full-scale designs in a follow-up program to further develop the technology

An atmospheric pressure glow discharge was generated using a needle-array electrode in nitrogen. A pulsed high voltage with short rise time under 10 ns was employed to generate streamer discharges simultaneously at all needle tips. The large number of streamer discharges prevented glow-to-arc transition caused by inhomogeneous thermalization. Semiconductor opening switch (SOS) diodes were employed as an opening switch to shorten the rise time. The glow current was drastically decreased by eliminating the SOS diode, in which case the charging voltage was directly applied to the electrode. Spatial- and time-averaged electron densities in a positive column were estimated from calculations based on nitrogen swarm data. The density was estimated to be 1.8times1011 cm-3, which was much larger than 9.7times109 cm-3 in the case without the SOS diode

When applying some kind of waveform to the primary of a transformer, one expects to see a more or less resembling waveform at the secondary. This is not the case for high-frequency HV transformers. The basic reason is that the parasitic parameters (PP) (leakage inductance and numerous parasitic capacitances) have a considerable influence on the transformer performance. HV transformer equivalent circuits are discussed, and the choice of one for further analysis is theoretically and experimentally justified. It is shown that HV rectifier/multiplier adds considerably to the parasitic capacitance of the secondary winding at no-load conditions. Further analysis concentrates on the electromagnetic processes in a transformer fed by a square-wave voltage, which is characteristic for no-load operation. Overvoltages (OV), i.e., ratio of the maximum voltage at the secondary to that calculated by the transformation ratio, generated by high harmonics are analyzed using Fourier transform. For special cases of asymmetrical waveshapes, closed-form expressions are obtained. The influence of the primary voltage risetime on the OV is also analyzed. It is shown that the characteristic OV is close to three for steep risetimes. Main conclusions were upheld by PSpice simulations and experimental investigation

One of the factors that contributes to surface flashover on dielectrics is the existence of defects on the surface of the material. For our studies, excimer laser processing was utilized on alumina dielectrics in an attempt to substantially increase the threshold voltages for flashover. Through excimer laser processing, the surface material melts and re-crystallizes to form a uniform surface structure. The defects on the dielectric surface can be minimized, reducing charge trapping, leading to higher flashover voltages. Two sets of samples were tested. The first set of samples was processed using the laser and the second set was not. The samples were then stressed under high voltage to induce surface flashover. Analysis of the effects of the excimer laser processing was performed and are shown

ARC Technology is developing pulse generators for extremely compact geometries requiring megawatts of power and millijoule to joule of total energy. These devices are to be constructed with surface mount components and circuit board fabrication techniques to minimize volume, cost, and production time. Clearly, the components in these circuits are operating well beyond their design specifications. Therefore, this paper examines the energy storage and peak power capabilities of various surface mount capacitor technologies and vendors to determine their applicability in miniature pulsed power circuits

The parasitic capacitances of transformers significantly influence the resulting pulse shape of a power modulator system. In order to predict the pulse shape and optimize the geometry of the pulse transformer before building the transformer, an equivalent circuit and analytic expressions relating the geometry with the parasitic elements are needed. Therefore, a model consisting of 6 equivalent capacitors and a simplified circuit, as well as the belonging equations, are presented. The equations are verified by measurement results for a pulse transformer and a solid-state modulator designed for linear accelerators

This paper deals with fundamental properties of the OFF to ON state transition of a new type of self-recovering fuse (SRF) device operated by dielectrophoresis (DEP) we have proposed and developed. This fuse device basically consists of electrodes made on a substrate, a fuse element to make and break the conducting path between the electrode gap, and liquid matrix as insulation media to cover the fuse element and the electrodes. The self-recovering operation, i.e. the OFF to ON state transition, is mainly controlled by DEP and viscous forces. In this study, we experimentally investigated influence of the liquid matrix and the substrate material on the OFF and ON resistances of the SRF device in terms of improvement of the resistance characteristics. We also investigated the effect of a mechanical impact or vibration on the ON state properties. As a result, we achieved the OFF resistance more than 1 MOmega without remarkably increasing the ON resistance, by using silicone oil as liquid matrix and the glass substrate. We confirmed the self-recovering operation by DEP and the maintaining ON state under both DC and high frequency (up to 100 kHz) AC voltage applications. In addition, the mechanical impact endurance of the SRF device was basically found
