Experimental study on the magnetic flux compression generators with output 20kJ and pulse duration 10m s

One helical type of two-stage flux-trapping magnetic flux compression generators (type 8-6 MFCG) is described in this paper, by which the energy from capacity can be amplified in the first stage helix, and the power can be amplified in the second stage helix. Experiment al results show that, type 8-6 MFCG with a whole weight of about 6kg, can output pulse current up to 100kA and energy up to 20kJ on 5.25m H inductance load wit h the effective pulse duration less than 10m s.
