Structure Optimal Design Based on Distributed-Current-Feed Mode Oriented to Electromagnetic Launching System

Abstract:

Controlling the output current characteristic of the pulsed power system is the important approach to optimize the parameters and to heighten the system efficiency in the Electromagnetic Launching System. For enhancing the system performance, distributed-current-feed style is introduced. A distributed current feeding-in model is established and the characteristic and performance is analyzed. Stimulation depicts:1)adopting the distributed feeding style results in more efficient than the central feeding style ;2)employing the new method of distributed-feed-timing-discharging goes a step further to heighten the muzzle velocity. The new model is meaningful to optimize the structure of the electromagnetic launching system, and is effective to the design of the launcher and current-feeding-in system.
