REFFERENCES
 It Is A Device Used To Generate High Power
Electromagnetic Pulse By Compressing Magnetic Flux
Using High Explosive.
They Require Starting Current Pulse To Operate.
Transient Electromagnetic Device.
Pulse Energy 107Joule
Pulse Duration 10-100s
Andrei Sakhrao Design The First Magneto Explosive
Generator.

In 1950 The Marx Generator Only Device Which Store

Energy In Capacitor.

For Producing Such High Power Pulses.

Magneto Explosive Generator Use A
Technique Called Magnetic Flux
Compression.
Resistive Current Loss Is Negligible.
Magnetic Flux On Surface Should Be
Surrounded By Conductor.(Eg.Copper)
The Size And Shape Of Conductor May
Change.
Chemical Energy Transformed Into
Intense Magnetic Field.

Diameter Reduced.
The Magnetic Field Induces Current In The Ring.
Which In Turn A New Magnetic Field
 Fig 4. ( Magnetic Field Lines After Compression)

External Magnetic Field Induced Field Added.

Current Has Been Created In The Conductive Ring.
Hollow Tube Generator
Helical Generator
Disk Generator
HOLLOW TUBE GENERATOR
A Longitudinal Field Is
Produced Inside A Hallow
Metallic Conductor.
By Discharging The Bank
Of Capacitor Into The
Solenoid.
Slit In The Cylinder
Rapidly Close.
When The Current In
Solenoid Is Maximum ,
Explosive Charge Is
Detonated By The
Compression Of Cylinder.
 ADVANTAGES
Explosive Generator Destroy Some Component Therefore
Use Is Limited To Single Shot Or , At Best ,Low
Repetation Rate Application.
The Ratio Of Energy Output To Weight And Volume Is
Extremely High.
When Large Current Is Required And Time Scale Is Too
Short Then Strip And Spherical Generator Are Best For
Use.
Plate Generator Are Capable Of Carrying Very Large
Current And Operate On Substaintially Faster Time Scales.
Also In Many Cases They Are Expensive.

Additional Safety Precaution Must Be Taken To Take Guard

Against Explosively Hazard.

For Selection Of Generation Economy Factor Is Main

Question.

There Is Always Danger While Handling.

They Be Used To Accelerate Object To Extreme Velocities.

For Compress Object To Very High Pressures And Densities.

It Is Device Used To Generate A High Power Electromagnetic

Pulse.

Used To Design Bomb.

For Pulse Power Supply.

For Counter Air An Strategic And Air Attack.

 CONCLUSION
Considerable Activity.
Expectation Are Still For Ahead Of The Achievements.
High Cost Targets Should Be Considerable.
Novel Means Of Electronic Ware fare (Gyroton,e-bomb
Etc.) Still Await Verification.
