Energy storage capacitor group of electromagnetic gun

Can pulsed power supply based on capacitor be used in Em railgun?

Abstract: Although the pulsed power supply (PPS) based on capacitor has been successfully applied to engineering prototype of electromagnetic (EM) railgun, its large volume makes it poor adaptability and flexibility due to relatively low energy storage density.

Can a power supply meet the requirements of a half electron gun?

The test results show that the power supply not only can meet the requirements of HALF for its electron gun but also have good waveform repeata-bility and amplitude stability.

How thermionic cathode grid-controlled Electron Gun Works?

To make the injector more stable, relia-ble, and longer life, we choose the thermionic cathode grid-controlled electron gun (EG) scheme. As we all know, applying pulsed high voltage to the grid of the EG can control the strength of the electron beam out-put and its pulse width.

Are magnetic guns a practical device?

Magnetic guns and launchers have received periodic attention for many years, and several large systems have actually been built. The fact that none of these evolved into a practical device reflects largely the immaturity of required support technology and lack of coordinated follow-up programs.

Why are railgun fields higher than superconductors?

It should be noted that railgun fields are much higher than the critical fields of superconductors. Augmentation has the obvious effect of reducing the amount of current flowing through the brushes and the projectile, and thereby the necessary conductor mass which must be accelerated.
