Title: Hydrodynamic Liner Experiments Using the Ranchero Flux Compression Generator System

Conference ·
OSTI ID:759418

The authors have developed a system for driving hydrodynamic liners at currents approaching 30 MA. Their 43 cm module will deliver currents of interest, and when fully developed, the 1.4 m module will allow similar currents with more total system inductance. With these systems they can perform interesting physics experiments and support the Atlas development effort.
