| dc.description | This paper describes the development of a very efficient computer model for the design and performance prediction of explosive-driven helical generators. The model is based on simple theoretical considerations. Validation of the model is achieved by comparing the theoretical and measured performances of existing both high- and low-energy generators. It is shown that, although the basic model predicts accurately the load current history of high-energy generators, a somewhat more elaborate model is needed for low-energy devices. The model has been used in the design of a simple 1 MJ generator with an eight-section stator coil, intended for use as a current source in an investigation of high-current conditioning systems. A description is given of the construction and testing of this device. Experimental results are in accordance with predictions from the design code and establish that, when primed with 40 kJ at 50 kA from a capacitor bank and using 15 kg of high explosive, the generator is capable of delivering an output of 1 MJ at 7 MA to a coaxial load. |
