New Concept for Constructing an Autonomous Completely Explosive Pulsed Power System: Transverse Shock Wave Ferromagnetic Primary Power Source and Loop Flux Compression Amplifier

A new design idea for a compact, autonomous, completely explosive pulsed power system is proposed. The system is based on the shock wave ferromagnetic generator (FMG) as a primary power source and a loop magnetic flux compression generator (LFCG) as a pulsed power amplifier. The FMG primary power source utilizes the effect of transverse shock wave demagnetization of Nd
