This book is presented primarily to record the papers of the Conference on the Exploding Wire Phenomenon conducted by the Air Force Cambridge Research Center in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 2 and 3, 1959. A second and scarcely less important purpose of this book is to serve as a monograph on exploding wires. Nowhere in any language is there a book, or for that matter a section of a book, on electrical wire explosions. The growing interest in and import ance of the phenomenon was indicated by the very gratifying re sponse to the Confe: rence invitations. We hope this book, reaching an even larger audience, will fill a gap in the literature as well as serve as a record of the Conference. A logical arrangement of the papers was extremely difficult to accomplish. On whatever basis they were classified, most papers could have been equally well placed in more than one category. This difficulty was solved by arranging them in three broad classes. If this book is to serve as a monograph, some gene: ral back ground in the exploding wire phenomenon (EWP) is needed. The Introduction was written to serve this purpose. It is, of course, impossible to thank all those without whose help the Conference and this book would not have been possible.
"To investigate the application of exploding wires as fuses for the proposed Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory 2-megajoule Project Sherwood capacitor bank, a 49.5-kilojoule capacitor discharge system was established at Sandia Corporation."--P. 3.

The bibliography includes abstracts of reports on the exploding conductor (exploding wire) phenomenon published from 1774 through 1966. There is also some coverage of important papers in adjacent areas of spectroscopy and instrumentation. Arrangement is by subject group, alphabetically by authors.
Numerous experiments with electrically exploded wires are described.The results include time-resolved measurements of electrical energy, power, voltage, and current during * the discharge; periodic still and high-speed photographs of the entire explosion process; integrated and time-resolved measurements of the intensity and spectral distribution of the radiation emitted; and time-resolved absorption spectra from the products of the discharge, with emphasis on observations of the spectrum of the AlO molecule.The apparatus, instrumentation, and fast-measurement techniques developed in order to permit these direct experimental observations and measurements, under the extreme and transient conditions of the explosive discharge, are also described.Results from calculations of the composition, entropy, enthalpy, and density of the explosion mixture are given.(Author).
