A disk type magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator/channel and a hybrid pulse power transformer (HPPT) with a superconductive primary and a normal secondary for producing high power and high current pulses is disclosed. The HPPT surrounds the MHD channel through which hot gas is supplied. The channel upstream from the HPPT is formed into a flat circular configuration with narrow portion directed perpendicular to the channel passing through the HPPT. A MHD disk generator is positioned on the opposite side of the channel directly opposed from the HPPT. The output from the MHD is connected to the primary of the HPPT. Prior to generating power, the superconducting primary winding of the HPPT is charged to a low current. The primary is then connected to the MHD generator/channel for conditioning. When the channel is fired causing gases to flow through the channel causing the magnet current to increase producing a higher primary field and hence more power generation. In this manner the MHD generator is self excited or conditioned and the MHD generator output is stored in the HPPT primary. The energy stored in the primary can be released to the secondary by driving the primary normal by any known method. Other configurations can be used such as conventional MHD channel generators. The primary winding can be made of high temperature superconductors when available.
摘要:
A magnetic gun for the purpose of accelerating a metal clad projectile to high velocities which includes a long dipole magnet extending the length of the gun bore that encloses a plurality of short superconducting dipoles magnets along its length. The short dipoles are superconducting dipoles whose induced current and magnetic field oppose the current and magnetic field of the long dipole. The short dipoles while in a superconducting state prevent the long dipole field from entering the gun bore. When the short dipoles become normal conducting, the current in the short dipoles decay rapidly. When this occurs the field of each of the small dipoles collapse and magnetic flux from the long dipole enters the gun bore at the locaiton of the normal conducting small dipole. This entering flux repels the projectile down the barrel in the direction of least flux, so the projectile is moved to the next short dipole section. This process is repeated in the next section and sequentially down the gun bore so that the projectile is accelerated along the length of the bore and exits therefrom at launch speed.
摘要:
A pulsed transformer utilizing the transition of the primary winding from a superconducting state to a normal state to increase the efficiency of energy transfer to the secondary winding thereof and hence to a load across the secondary winding. The primary winding is constructed as a composite which has minimal resistance when in a superconductive state and significantly higher resistance when in a normal or critical state.

A log periodic VEE antenna particularly useful for space craft including a central mast and dipole antenna elements which are collapsible into a compact configuration for transportation purposes and which are deployable in spring-like fashion when released from their confinement. In one embodiment, the antenna elements themselves are semi-circular elements and confined in a bent position in a suitable container for transportation and which, when removed from the container, spring into deployed position. In another embodiment, the dipole elements are flexible wire with a spine member having a semi-circular spring member bent when the antenna is collapsed and which, when released from its confinement deploys the wire elements. The semi-circular elements besides having a deployment function also give rigidity to the antenna when deployed.

A joint assembly for holding electrical conductors together comprises a connector which loosely engages the conductors when the assembly is subjected to relatively high temperatures. The connector is made of a material which has a sufficiently higher coefficient of expansion then the coefficient of expansion the material used for the electrical conductors in order to cause a differential shrinkage of the connector onto the conductors for a clamping engagement therebetween when the assembly is subjected to relatively low temperatures.
