Contribution of Vladimir K. Chernyshev to a Development of Explosive Pulsed Power and Applications

Abstract

V.K. Chernyshev proposed and realized (1958) a fast output of energy from the EMG circuit by means of its breaking by the HE charge and also by means of electric explosion. The current opening switches for the DEMG of POTOK family were developed under his leadership.V.K.Chernyshev together with his disciples created a small-size and power-intensive source of energy for a new type of powerful transportable sources of neutrons and together with other VNIIEF scientists they created a new pulsed system as a part of the complex.
