Abstract :
Electromagnetic flux-compression experiments performed at Loughborough University have produced magnetic flux densities in excess of 300 T with a high degree of reproducibility, using two condenser banks with a total energy of about 80 kJ. In an ongoing research programme, a time rate-of-change of 3.5 10/sup 8/ T/s is being generated, which is more than adequate to move onto the second phase of the research that aims to produce fast high voltage pulses.
