Generation of Magnetic Field by Detonation Waves

摘要

The generation of a magnetic field by a system of detonation waves in a condensed explosive is reported. The convergence of the detonation waves, which exhibit a high conductivity in the chemical reaction zone, increases the magnetic field at the axis of the system. The fact of magnetic field generation is demonstrated experimentally. Features of the new method of magnetic cumulation are discussed. A simple compression model that qualitatively agrees with experimental data is proposed.
