Explosive pulsed power consists of those devices that convert the chemical energy in explosives into electrical energy. In 2004, a series of programs were initiated to develop several types of very compact explosive pulsed power generators. Based on these recent efforts, we now have a better understanding of the weaknesses and strengths of these small generators. As a result, we can now build r...

Pulsed power application has emerged to become an important technology in today’s industry beyond defense sectors, although historically the applications included particle acceleration, imploding plasmas and related. Pulsed power refers to the technology where a steady accumulation of energy followed by its rapid release, results in the delivery of a large amount of instantaneous power over a v...

background: this study is the first research investigating the possible effect of pulsed power signals on the characteristics of cortical bone by comparing the mechanical properties of this type of bone pre and post expose to pulsed power. methods: a positive buck-boost converter was applied to generate adjustable high voltage, high frequency pulses (up to 500 v and 10 khz). the functional beha...
