Advances in the development of the Nested High Voltage Generator

The Nested High Voltage Generator (NHVG) is a high voltage accelerator/power supply topology which can potentially satisfy a variety of requirements for a compact, reliable inexpensive DC accelerator in the 0.25-10 MeV range. Applications for this technology include the generation of high voltage, high current pulsed electron beams for microwave generation, the sterilization of medical products, the curing of polymers, and the sterilization of medical waste. This technology has recently been demonstrated in an accelerator which has operated at 500 kV with an electron beam in a 36 inch long, 17 inch diameter device.<
