At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory we have developed a coupled helical-coaxial FCG device called the Full Function Test (FFT). This device was used to deliver 98 MA of current and 66 MJ of energy to an inductive load. The successful testing of the FFT represented the culmination of an effort to establish a high-energy pulsed power program that would greatly exceed the performance of capacitor...
Summary form only given. The Ranchito helical flux compression generator (FCG) was designed at Los Alamos in the late 1990s by Max Fowler. The intent was to supply a few megampers from this booster generator for the initial current to a fast high current FCG in situations where large capacitor banks were not available. A recent test has been conducted in which a Ranchito FCG was used to drive current...
