1 MJ electromagnetic compressor of a strip type with electrical current output into a loading

Abstract

Two series of experiments on the magnetic compressor (MC): with magnetic flow compression and electrical current output in the external loading are carried out. A megajoule capacitor battery is used as primary source of energy. The deformation dynamics of the liner material consisting of two flat plates, accelerated towards each other is investigated. The new scheme of electromagnetic acceleration, which automatically creates a magnetic flow in a compression zone, is used. At velocity of plates of 1 km/s the output electrical current of MC exceeds 4 MA. The results of modeling coincide with the experiment data with satisfactory accuracy. The MC device is intended for a power amplification of the inductive store of installation “MOL”.
