Patent ID: 7832385

Claim:
A pulsed power system, comprising: a first pair of pulsed alternators configured to generate a first alternating current output at a first frequency; a second pair of pulsed alternators configured to generate a second alternating current output at the first frequency; and a control system connected to the first and second pairs of pulsed alternators, wherein the control system is configured to: generate a first single polarity transient pulse from the first alternating current output, wherein the first single polarity transient pulse is at least 100,000 amperes; generate a second single polarity transient pulse from the second alternating current output, wherein the second single polarity transient pulse is at least 100,000 amperes; and interleave the first and second single polarity transient pulses at the first frequency, wherein the first frequency is less than 1,000 Hertz.
