Terawatt pulse power systems utilizing inductive storage
Abstract
This paper describes a system which employs a superconducting magnet, a generator coil, and nondestructive magnetic flux compression to produce pulsed power. Power in the terawatt range is predicted for full-scale systems suitable for both laser and e-beam applications of the future. Small-scale experiments are described which employed radially expanding aluminum tubes or plasma to produce peak powers of 0.5 gigawatt.
