“…4 The explosive and electrical operation of a loop FCG are similar to that of other types of FCGs ͑i.e., coaxial FCGs and helical FCGs͒ based on magnetic flux compression inside the stator due to the explosively driven expansion of a cylindrical armature. 5 The specific feature of an LFCG that made it useful for these experiments is the opportunity to observe in detail the processes that occur inside the generator ͑expansion of the armature, closing the crowbar contacts, etc.͒ from the very beginning until the final stage of its operation, something that cannot be done when studying helical, coaxial, or other types of flux compression generators. Results obtained with the miniature LFCG developed for these studies ͑Fig.…”

“…Hence, explosive pulsed power has been receiving considerable interest for use as 1018 PROCEEDINGS part of a system for high-power microwave generation or for oil well exploration and as a driver for basic physics experiments, among a variety of military applications. Additional information on explosively driven pulsed power can be found in [12] and [13].…”

PERFORMING ORGANIZATION NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)University In this introduction to the Special Issue on pulsed power and its applications, background information is provided for the nonspecialist to better understand the many challenges in designing pulsed power systems, and the wide diversity of applications that are now emerging. The approach to providing a tutorial on pulsed power technology is to make available to the reader the paper written by J.C. Martin which appeared in a Special Section of the PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE on pulsed power technology in June 1992. That paper is supplemented in this introduction with additional information that complements many of the invited papers composing this Special Issue. SUBJECT TERMSBioelectrics, explosive pulsed power, highpower microwave, intense beams, plasma pinches, pulsed power, radiography, ultrawideband microwaves GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING SF 298The Report Documentation Page (RDP) is used for announcing and cataloging reports. It is important that this information be consistent with the rest of the report, particularly the cover and title page. Instructions for filling in each block of the form follow.

In compact pulsed power conditioning systems, a high electric energy density of its capacitors is of interest. Commercially available capacitors are normally designed for long storage time and long lifetime. The performance of capacitors in terms of energy density capability can be improved by overstress or overcharge, that is, charging to a significantly higher energy density than specified. This paper explores the limits of overstressing commercially available capacitors for short time spans. The selected capacitors have a nominal dc voltage in the range of 2.5-10 kV and a capacitance in the range of 0.015-0.12 F. Two different storage times have been considered: 2 s and 20 ms. A high-voltage test setup was constructed. For the short storage time, it was possible to overstress the energy density as compared to nominal values with a factor of 26 and for the long storage time with a factor of 14 for the best performing capacitor. Other capacitors behaved significantly poorer, especially for the long storage time.Index Terms-Energy density capacitors, overstressing of highvoltage capacitors, pulsed power.
