An energy-efficient method for significantly enhancing the shock wave generated by underwater electrical wire explosion was developed. The method is to replace one thicker wire with many thinner wires under the conditions that the total mass of the wires and the initial storage energy are kept unchanged. It was found that maximum pressure of the shock wave rises from 30MPa to about 90MPa when...
Many researchers around the world note the high efficiency of electropulse drilling. During drilling shallow wells in the tens of meters deep, when the high voltage generator is located on the surface near the well, the specific energy consumption of electric pulse drilling is much less than traditional rotary drilling. To effectively drill deep wells (from hundreds of meters to several...
Electromagnetic Manufacturing (EMMa) is one of the newer manufacturing techniques which is gaining popularity. It uses an intense transient magnetic field generated by a pulsed power source to apply a transient force on the work piece and deform it without any direct mechanical contact. For an optimal choice of the pulsed power parameters for the EMMa, an understanding of the electromagnetic,...
