Helical flux compression generator utilizing detonation products of aluminized explosive to compress magnetic flux

Armature and aluminized explosives detonation products were compared based on the conductor working condition of flux compression generators. Detonation conductivity of some mixed explosives was summed up, whose magnetic Reynolds numbers were calculated, and the possibility of using detonation products of high conductivity instead of armature to compress magnetic flux was analyzed. A modified design of helical flux compression generator utilizing detonation products to compress flux was proposed, whose running process and equivalent circuit were acquired. Simulation results indicate that the modified design has a better output performance than the traditional one of the same volume. Furthermore, the modified design is simpler, and some problems such as turn-skipping and flux losses of arma
