The Pulse Physics Research Program of the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research TNO

The pulse physics program is directed toward pulsed power, electromagnetic-launch, and materials research. An overview of specific research efforts being pursued in these areas is given. Details concerning the Pulse Physics Laboratory at Delft and its equipment are described. An in-house-developed fast discharge megawatt bipolar battery and a 6.7 MJ pulsed homopolar-generator-driven repetitive electromagnetic launcher are discussed.<
