A very high-current liner implosion experiment was conducted, using an explosive magnetic-compression generator (EMG) to deliver a peak current of 102 /spl plusmn/ 3 MA, to implode a 4.0-mm-thick aluminum liner. Analysis of experimental data showed that the inner surface of the liner had attained a velocity of between 6.8-8.4 km/s, consistent with detailed numerical calculations. Both calculations...Show More
A joint US/Russian Advanced Liner Technology experiment ALT-1 was conducted to simulate the anticipated performance of the Atlas capacitor bank. A disk-explosive magnetic generator and foil opening switch were used to produce an electrical current waveform that reached a peak value of 32.5 MA and that imploded an aluminum liner to an inner surface velocity of 12 km/s.Show More
During the last 20 years, VNIIEF has been studying the compression of liners accelerated under the effect of pressure by a powerful azimuth magnetic field formed by powerful explosive magnetic generators. The research is carried out in applications to create sources of soft X-rays of megajoule level and to obtain a hot thermonuclear plasma. During the experiments, condensed (speed-10 km/s) and pla...Show More
High power pulsed energy sources are required to produce a large amount of X-rays. The leading role in creation of ultra-high power stationary machines belongs to the USA national laboratories. VNIIEF has made much progress in creation of ultra-high power explosive magnetic generators (EMG) of a single action, which allow experiments up to 200 MJ of the stored energy and up to 10/sup 13/ W of the ...Show More
In November 1992, the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF), Arzamas-16, Russia and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos NM, USA embarked on a historic effort to conduct a joint explosive pulse-power experiment. With the concurrence of the Ministry of Atomic Energy (Russia) and the Department of Energy (US), the two laboratories entered into a laborat...Show More
The imploding liner is a cylinder of conducting material through which a current is passed in the longitudinal direction. Interaction of the current with its own magnetic field causes the liner to implode. In August, 1996, a high energy liner experiment (HEL-1) was conducted at the All-Russia Scientific Research Institute (VNIIEF) in Sarov, Russia. A 5 tier 1 meter diameter explosive disk generato...Show More
The paper describes arrangement and the results of the first joint experiment between VNIIEF and LANL with explosive magnetic generators (EMG) of 1 m diameter and a nonevaporating liner. The experiment took place in August 22, 1996. The goal of the experiment was to accelerate magnetically cylindrical relatively thin aluminum liner and to get kinetic energy of 20 MJ or more. As the energy source f...Show More
In August 1997, the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF) conducted a joint experiment in Sarov, Russia to demonstrate the feasibility of applying explosive pulsed power technology to implode large scale, high velocity cylindrical liners. Kilogram mass metal liners imploding at velocities of 5-25 km/sec are useful s...Show More
The paper presents the experimental data analysis of a high-power disk explosive magnetic generator (DEMG) aimed to study the acceleration process and motion stability of bulk condensed liners with the multimegajoule range of the kinetic energy. Five module disk explosive magnetic generator (DEMG), having a diameter of disk elements of 100 cm, powering a quasistationary inductive load with an init...Show More
A system design for investigation of the feasibility of controlled inertial thermonuclear fusion (ITF), based on target implosion by fast-rising magnetic field was published in 1979. The base of this design became the realization of a powerful explosive-magnetic generator (EMG) of disc type by that time. Only the disc EMG capable to be employed as a current source for energy releasing unit - a pon...Show More
