Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vacuum system, pulse generator and oscilloscopes are used for pseudospark-BLT switch research. The pumping system is for achieving necessary high vacuum conditions. Observations of cell membrane perturbation in real time with sub-nanosecond time resolution is made possible by the PicoStar HR-12 CCD camera system and its custom table purchased under this AFOSR Grant. This High-Speed CCD camera system is a component of AFOSR-supported Transient Plasma Ignition research as well. The scopes and pulse generator provide diagnosis, analysis, and control of experiments requiring accurate, fast diagnostics. Implementation of these systems has enabled results in pulsed power switching, and applications of pulsed power to biology, and ignition and combustion. Switching research includes investigation of small BLT switches for compact pulse generation, which will reported this year at an AFOSR MURI review, and technical meetings including the Intl. Conf. on Plasma Science. Biology includes real-time observation of Ca bursts in human lymphocytes, reported in Biophysical and Biochemical Research Communications, and at other reviews and conferences. Ignition includes development of transient plasma ignition, which reduces delays to ignition in applications such as pulse detonation engines.

Book excerpt: The desire to move high energy pulsed power systems from the laboratory to practical field systems has led to the establishment of the FY2001 Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) on Compact, Portable, Pulsed Power (CP3). The University of New Mexico and the University of Southern California (USC) each lead a consortium of universities to address the fundamental issues critical to improved compact pulsed power. This report describes progress on this program by the USC lead consortium. Results are presented in the following key thematic areas: Gas phase and opening switches, increased energy density storage using liquid dielectrics, solid-state and optical switching. New results include advanced switches for repetitive pulsed power and innovative pulse generator (PG) design. Specific topics addressed are: Blumlein transmission lines, liquid breakdown in oil, water and propylene carbonate, pseudospark and Back-Lighted Thyratron (BLT) switches, compact pulsers, and high power solid-state switches. Applications that are emerging from this program include innovation in Blumlein architecture for HPM, Marx PGs for HPM, psuedospark PGs for AF jet ignition, ultra-compact PG for AF biological applications, and advanced PGs for cathode research for HPM.

Download or read book Introduction To High Power Pulse Technology written by Siu Ting Pai and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 1995-07-31 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed primarily to meet two objectives. It is intended to serve as a textbook for a one-semester university course for graduate or senior undergraduate students in the physical sciences, electrical engineering and other related disciplines, or it may be used as a reference book for those who are working in the field. For those intending to use the book for self-study, a general knowledge of electromagnetism, electrical circuitry and plasma and discharge physics is necessary. In order to meet these diverse objectives, the authors have attempted to make the book reasonably compact so that it can fit in a one-semester schedule while retaining its comprehensiveness in serving as a reference book. The contents are arranged so that theory and practice are proportionally balanced and each topic consists of essentially four basic elements: fundamental principles, mathematical expressions and formulas, examples and illustrations, numerical data and applications. In order to keep its compactness, lengthy theoretical discussions and detailed mathematical derivations are avoided whenever possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mesyats' Pulsed Power provides in-depth coverage of the generation of pulsed electric power, electron and ion beams, and various types of pulsed electromagnetic radiation. The electric power that can be produced by the methods described ranges from 106 to 1014W for pulse durations of 10-10-10-7s. The book consists of nine parts containing 28 chapters, which deal with various aspects of pulsed power and high-power electronics and cover a concise theory of electric circuits as applied to nanosecond pulse technology; physics of fast processes occurring in electrical discharges in vacuum, gases, and liquids; phenomena in long lines; mechanisms of operation and designs of high-power gas-discharge, plasma, and semiconductor closing and opening switches as well as of high-power electric pulse generators using these switches; solid-state (semiconductor and magnetic) methods of production and transformation of nanosecond high-power pulses; and methods of production of high-power pulsed electron and ion beams. The closing part describes methods applied to produce high-power nanosecond pulsed X-rays, laser beams, microwaves, and ultrawideband electromagnetic radiation. This all-embracing book covers gas, laser, semiconductor, and magnetic circuit elements, the phenomenon of explosive electron emission discovered by the author, diodes of various types, including semiconductor diodes based on the SOS effect discovered with participation of the author, and methods of production of various types of high-power pulsed radiation.
