A 42-Tesla pulse transformer with a mechanically high resistant field former

A new transformer produces magnetic field pulses up to 42 Tesla in field volumes of about 0.1 cm³. The transformer combines the current pulses, I, of n (n=1...6) individual capacitor discharge circuits into a single current pulse n·I. With n=6, peak currents of I_max=16 kA lead to a secondary peak current of n·I _max=580 kA. Thus the product of the currents of the individual primary circuits is large, while each single current and the capacitor voltage remains low
