If my professor tasked me with finding out where to find the materials for setting up an electromagnetic ring expansion test, where is a good place to start? Generally, what is a good procedure to follow when setting up an experiment? I am not very experienced but I would like to learn.
The experiment needs things like 2 banks of 120 μF capacitors, a 3.57 mΩ damping resistor, 2 high voltage thyristors, copper wire, among other things.
Thanks!
