Electromagnetic ring expansion as a high-rate test: Experimental development
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6289190
We describe improvements to the electromagnetically launched expanding ring experiment that makes it reproducible, analyzable, and amenable to the rapid testing of many specimens. Primary concerns are the design and containment of the solenoid, high-voltage switching of the capacitor, and electromagnetic and expansion-speed diagnostics. We demonstrate the reproducibility of the technique on carefully processed OFHC copper rings.
