Modern technology combined with the desire to minimize the size and weight of a ship's power system are leading to renewed interest in more electric or all-electric ships. An important characteristic of the emerging ship power system is an increasing

This paper describes an exploding wire experiment to measure the electrical specific action to melt of structural alloys of copper and aluminum, including C10100, C11000, C18000, C18200, Al6061, and Al7075. These alloys, which are commonly used in ra

This paper describes a novel method for determining the specific action to melt the metals, and reports the values for action to melt that measure for several elements and three alloys: aluminum 2024, aluminum 6061, and C27400 brass. We electrically

In high-energy pulsed power applications, the metallic conductors are expected to heat up significantly due to resistive losses. In the pulsed case, materials exposed to short loading times, from 0.1 μs to 100ms behave different from those exposed t

It is hypothesized that damage to G10 railgun insulators occurs when a very concentrated stream of molten aluminum, which is ejected out of the armature-rail interface, impacts the insulators at 90° angle and acts as a cutting tool that erodes away

This paper details the testing of a commercially available gate turn-off thyristor (GTO) for application in inductive-store power supplies. GTOs have been used as a component of inductive-store systems directly and as part of compound switches. These

A large-caliber railgun was developed to demonstrate the supersonic launch of 120-mm projectiles. A trade study that evaluated over 70 different railgun configurations and geometries resulted in the selection of a high-inductance-gradient multiturn c

Advances in high-power-density batteries have rekindled interest in using inductive store as a pulse compression system. Although these batteries are considered very power dense, they lack over an order of magnitude of power density to drive a deploy

A feasibility demonstration is reported for a method of determining instantaneous temperature and velocity of an armature in flight. Instantaneous diagnostics such as this could be critical for achieving further improvements in railgun operation. Suc

The current-carrying conductors in electromagnetic launchers and rotating machines are exposed to high stress and thermal loads that last for a few milliseconds, with temperatures ranging up to the melting point of the materials. Even though equilibr
