"The characteristic square output current pulse from a discharging coaxial cable has been utilized to explode wires of 1-mil diameter."--P. 2.
The experimental apparatus and techniques for studying exploding wires by means of a cable discharge system are described. The cable discharge system is shown to have the advantages of more accurate and easier interpretation of results and more accurate and easier instrumentation than the more commonly used capacitor discharge systems.
A survey of the electrical behavior of various metals exploded by a cable discharge system at a current density of approximately 4 x 107 amp/cm2 is described. Resistance versus inertia and resistance versus energy curves are presented for 17 pure metals and a number of alloys. The electrical behavior of gold alloys as a function of the percentage composition is discussed.
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.
"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.
Explosive pulsed power generators are devices that either convert the chemical energy stored in explosives into electrical energy or use the shock waves generated by explosives to release energy stored in ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials. The objective of this book is to acquaint the reader with the principles of operation of explosive generators and to provide details on how to design, build, and test three types of generators: flux compression, ferroelectric, and ferromagnetic generators, which are the most developed and the most near term for practical applications. Containing a considerable amount of new experimental data that has been collected by the authors, this is the first book that treats all three types of explosive pulsed power generators. In addition, there is a brief introduction to a fourth type ix explosive generator called a moving magnet generator. As practical applications for these generators evolve, students, scientists, and engineers will have access to the results of a considerable body of experience gained by almost 10 years of intense research and development by the authors.
