Magnetic Compression Theory: Calculate, Simulate & Tutorials

AI Thread Summary
Magnetic compression theory involves the study of how magnetic fields can store and release energy, particularly through devices like dense plasma focus (DPF) machines, which utilize electromagnetic acceleration. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding inductance and the potential for energy storage in magnetic coils, such as solenoids or toroids. Superconducting magnets are noted for their ability to store significant amounts of magnetic energy. Resources like Wikipedia and the book "Radar Transmitters" by George W. Ewell are suggested for further reading on related topics. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for calculations and simulations in exploring magnetic compression applications.

Hi,
I want to study magnetic compression theory.
I want to able to calculate and simulate how magnetic compression can store or give back energy from a circuit
Any differential equation are available for this ?
Any tutorial will be helpfull.
Thanks

Are you asking about INDUCTANCE or THIS:

A dense plasma focus (DPF) is a plasma machine that produces, by electromagnetic acceleration and compression, short-lived plasma that is so hot and dense that it becomes a copious multi-radiation source. It was invented in the early 1960s by J.W. Mather and also independently by N.V. Filippov. The electromagnetic compression of a plasma is called a "pinch". The plasma focus is similar to the high-intensity plasma gun device (HIPGD) (or just plasma gun), which ejects plasma in the form of a plasmoid, without pinching it.

If it is the latter, there is an article in Wikipedia under "dense plasma focus". Not something most of us get to play with.
 
Would storing energy in a magnetic coil, such as a solenoid or a torus be OK? How much energy do you want to store? For how long? There are superconducting magnets that can store a lot of magnetic energy. One Tesla stored in 1 cubic meter is

E = (1/2u0) Integral[B2 dV] = 398 kilojoules
 
I believe you are asking about magnetic modulators.
The book "Radar Transmitters" by George W. Ewell" has 6 pages on this subject listed under Saturating Magnetic Switches.

Good Luck

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
