Abstract | |||||||||
| The goals of the program were twofold: (1) To develop the technical base to allow for the design and construction of lightweight, multimegawatt deflagrating solid explosive driven MHD (C-MHD) and, (2) to evaluate the feasibility of multikilowatt, high-repetition-rate detonating solid explosive MHD (X-MHD) generators. The report is divided into two sections which are organized in a roughly parallel format. Part I covers the work on deflagrating explosive MHD while Part II covers detonating explosive MHD. Each part has an introduction, a description of the experimental apparatus, the test results, conclusions and recommendations for future development. In addition, part 1 has a section covering the selection of a solid propellant while part 2 has a separate section with some additional discussion of the X-MHD channel performance..
