Add to ORKGa study to examine the basic technologies to be used in the construction and operation of a feasible and reliable electromagnetic (EM) gun system. This work was performed for Brown and Root Vickers, Ltd. (BRV) in response to a feasibility analysis requirement of the Royal Armament and Development Establishment (RARDE), Ministry of Defence (MD), of the United Kingdom. The report summarizing this study focused on the analysis and evaluation of the suitability and applicability of various pulsed power supply options for the perfor-mance goals of the RARDE EM gun program. The existing technologies considered included batteries, com-pulsators, capacitors, and homopolar generators (HPGs). Primary performance specifications for the electrical ener...
