Multi-pulse generation technique based on electro-explosive opening switch

A multi-pulse generator based on inductive storage and electro-explosive opening switch is introduced in this paper. The generator consists of a capacitor bank used as the primary energy source and an electro-explosive opening switch which is made up of wire arrays with different lengths and different cross-sections. Two or three consecutive pulses are obtained in experiment. The number of pulses is decided by the number of steps of wire arrays. The interval between the pulses and the amplitude of the pulse can be controlled by the parameters of the wire arrays and the output voltage of the capacitor bank.
