Critical components for pulsed power conditioning systems will be reviewed. Particular emphasis will be placed on those components requiring significant development efforts. Capacitors, for example, are one of the weakest elements in high-power pulsed systems, especially when operation at high-repetition frequencies for extended periods of time are necessary. Switches are by far the weakest active components of pulse power systems. In particular, opening switches are essentially nonexistent for most applications. Insulaton in all systems and components requires development and improvement. Efforts under way in technology base development of pulse power components will be discussed.
Most components used in high power pulse generators undergo mechanical shock stresses during the pulse or on its leading edge. As power densities become very high, this shock may lead to anomalous behavior as well as introduce failure modes that may not be immediately obvious. It has been shown that acoustic shock waves traveling within spark gap electrodes can affect electrode erosion by as much as an order of magnitude. Thus, a new point of view is required for component design where shock may be a critical factor. The mechanisms for generation of shock forces, both thermal and electromagnetic, are reviewed and applied to resistors, capacitors, magnetic devices and switches. The mechanisms described are square law effects so that it can be concluded that for high energy pulses, mechanical shock stress will be a critical factor in component survival.
Documents the science, the mission, the spacecraft and the instrumentation on a unique NASA mission to study the Earth’s dynamic, dangerous and fascinating Van Allen radiation belts that surround the planet This collection of articles provides broad and detailed information about NASA’s Van Allen Probes (formerly known as the Radiation Belt Storm Probes) twin-spacecraft Earth-orbiting mission. The mission has the objective of achieving predictive understanding of the dynamic, intense, energetic, dangerous, and presently unpredictable belts of energetic particles that are magnetically trapped in Earth’s space environment above the atmosphere. It documents the science of the radiation belts and the societal benefits of achieving predictive understanding. Detailed information is provided about the Van Allen Probes mission design, the spacecraft, the science investigations, and the onboard instrumentation that must all work together to make unprecedented measurements within a most unforgiving environment, the core of Earth’s most intense radiation regions. This volume is aimed at graduate students and researchers active in space science, solar-terrestrial interactions and studies of the upper atmosphere.
