Abstract
Pulsed power supplies for electromagnetic launch have unique requirements, including very low impedance, relatively long pulse discharge times, and high stored energy. The three primary types of pulsed power systems for electromagnetic launch have been capacitive, inductive, and rotating machine. This paper describes recent results in the design, construction, and testing of a pulsed power system based on an inductor that is charged by batteries.
