Disk Magnetocumulative Generator of 480-mm Diameter for Explosive EMIR Facility

Abstract

The first test of a disk magnetocumulative generator (DMCG) with high explosive charges of 480-mm diameter was carried out in the frameworks of a program on creation of an explosive EMIR facility, intended for high-power soft X-ray radiation pulses generation.The generator consists of five disk elements. The inductive load was equal to ~ 7 nH. The generator was twice larger than model DMCG240, successfully tested earlier. A comparison of calculation and experimental results is carried out.
