Transformers for explosive pulsed power coupling to various loads

Description: Tape-wound step-up transformers have been fabricated and used with magnetic flux compression generators in the past with effective coupling coefficients of approx.0.76. We have attempted to design some units with coefficients in the range of 0.85 to 0.92 by taking advantage of newer dielectrics. The intent is to raise the voltage stress from less than or equal to 0.39 MV/cm to the range of 0.98 to 1.97 MV/cm. This has the effect of making the secondary thinner and permitting a higher coupling e… more

Measurement of the Behavior of a Plasma in a Magnetic Field by Means of Probes

Description: Abstract: "Probes were used to measure certain properties of the cloud of positive ions and electrons ejected from a pulsed ion source having two hydrogen-loaded electrodes. Time-of-flight measurements show: the presence of H+ ions with 50 ev directed energy; an increase of this energy with increasing pulse current in the source; a higher peak yield of ions with higher peak currents in the source; and higher yields and higher ion energies up to 110 ev have been recorded with the use of a pulsed… more

Gravitational-Electromagnetic Torus Models of the Elementary Particles

Description: Abstract: "A torus model of the elementary particles is suggested in which the electron and proton are made stable by gravitational forces derived from the electromagnetic field. It is suggested that the gravitational forces for the unstable particles, presumably the mesons, are not sufficient to keep the torus from expanding in the direction of its large radius. Rest energy zero can be achieved, presumably for photons and neutrons, when the gravitational energy and electromagnetic field energy… more

Projection of Plasma Across a Magnetic Field (Revised)

Description: Report discussing the trajectories of blobs of plasma as it travels across a magnetic field. Various observations are made about the blobs, such as the fact that they are diamagnetic, and that they can be either elastically scattered from each other or form a compound entity with a possible toroidal structure. "It is believed that these blobs are actually stable configurations of plasma and magnetic field, having both diamagnetic moment and spin."

The Anatomy of Plasmons

Description: From abstract: "Plamons (plasma-magnetic entities) are toroidal "packages" of plasma wrapped up in their own magnetic field. Experimental evidence for the existence of plasmons is adduced and theoretical considerations concerning their various types and their stability are discussed."

Initial Measurements on the Angular Distribution of Deuterium Plasma Produced by a Pulsed Spark Source

Description: Abstract: "The deuterium plasma which is ejected by a 6000-ampere pulsed current through a rail-type spark source has a yield in the forward direction which is a factor of 5 to 10 greater than that in the perpendicular direction. This effect is believed to be due to the magnetic propulsion of the plasma."

On the Mechanism of Generation of Magneto-Hydrodynamic Whirl Rings in the Interior of the Sun and Their Relation to Sunspots, Faculae, Prominences, and Flares

Description: Abstract: "A possible mechanism for the generation of magneto-hydrodynamic whirl rings near the center of the sun is described. The organic relation of the reflection of these whirl rings at the surface of the sun to the cooling of sunspots, orientation, and polarity sequence of sunspots, prominences, flares, and faculae is delineated."

LLL experiments in collective field acceleration

Description: A collective field accelerator (CFA) was developed at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) which operates with a vacuum diode. This diode utilizes a graphite cathode and a dielectric anode that operates with a relativistic electron beam with a ..nu../..gamma.. of approximately 1. Dielectric lenses are used to focus the collectively accelerated electrons and ions which are ejected from a central hole in the anode. The dielectric anode and lenses operate as unoptimized rf cavities which modula… more
