Design, assembly and testing of modifications to the homopolar generator and plasma switch experiments
Abstract
The tasks performed under this contract had application to the development of inductive energy storage. Technical expertise was provided for the standard tasks associated with HPG operation and development of a new EACB. Design and technical expertise were provided for the development (design, assembly and testing) of several plasma switch concepts. These included the plasma dynamic switch, the plasma erosion switch and the electron-beam controlled switch.
