“…Although this new effect has similarities to the familiar EFF (explosively formed fuse) [2], in which a thin metallic sheet is deformed into an insulated groove, electromagnetic forces here replace the action of the explosive charge. The use of this technique to produce a fast opening switch is under investigation.…”

This paper describes the development of a compact, proof-of-principle generator for the production of two synchronized series of high-voltage pulses from the single discharge of a capacitor. The pulses are produced by an array of parallel-connected exploding fuses, with compact transformers enabling the required level of output voltage to be obtained. Experimental results are presented and compared with theoretical predictions.
