A 10 GW Tesla-driven Blumlei pulsed power generator

A repetitive 0.6 MV, 10 GW Tesla-driven Blumlein pulsed power generator, with an overall energy efficiency in excess of 90%, has been designed, manufactured and demonstrated by the Pulsed Power Group at Loughborough University. The paper describes the application of various numerical techniques used...
