Title: Electromagnetic loading system for forming metal jet
Inventor: XIN JIN
IPC: F42B12/10
Filed: 2020-08-27
Abstract: An electromagnetic loading system for forming a metal jet. A device capable of generating current is adopted as an input energy source. The current generating device generates strong current, and the strong current flows into a metal conical rod (1) by means of a current input disc (6) and flows out of a current output disc (7) after passing through a connecting disc (2) and a backflow rod (3). When the current flows through a circular gradually-expanding metal cover (104), the circular gradually-expanding metal cover (104) collapses from being subjected to the action of electromagnetic force converging towards the axial direction, and a high-speed, high-pressure metal jet is formed and has strong penetration capabilities. The electromagnetic loading system for forming a metal jet adopts a backflow structure, so that the resistance and the inductance of a load can be effectively reduced, the energy dissipation in the loading process is reduced, and the energy utilization rate is improved.
