Abstract
A rate of current rise of the order of 1013 A sec−1 can be produced by inexpensive capacitors used in conjunction with a special, low inductance fuse and spark gap. The capacitors are discharged through the fuse until the current reaches a near maximum value at which time the current is transferred from the fuse into a load inductance of about 1 nH. The spark gap isolates the load until the moment of current transfer.Keywords
