Zusammenfassung:A research facility which will include a versatile high-current pulsed power supply is being planned by the Center for Electromagnetic Electromechanics at the University of Texas at Austin (CEM-UT). The power supply will consist of 12 5-MJ all-iron-rotating homopolar generator (HPG) modules that can be connected in various parallel-series arrangements. With peak-output power in excess of 400 megawatts, the 50-MJ HPG power supply should prove valuable in future high-current pulsed power experiments, including welding, heating, metal forming, switch-gear testing, and electromagnetic propulsion.
