Goal
Provide a method and device for generating intense electromagnetic pulses and for altering material properties via electromagnetic and mechanical interactions.
Problem
Need for intense electromagnetic pulse sources for material structure investigation, solid-state physics research, and EMC testing.
Concept Summary
A nested set of electromagnetic resonant cavities ("Russian doll" principle) forms a central oscillator that couples electrical, magnetic and mechanical oscillations to produce high-energy electromagnetic pulses. A related apparatus uses concentric magnetic arrangements, diamagnetic coatings and copper intermediate layers to treat materials within a reaction chamber.
Detailed Description
The core of the device consists of 2 + n (e.g., 5) resonant cavities arranged concentrically. The resonant circuit is linked to external pulse generators and a control/evaluation unit. Mechanical vibration is measured with a dedicated sensor. In a second embodiment, an outer hollow cylindrical magnetic assembly houses an excitation coil, while two inner magnetic assemblies each contain their own coils. A plate-like hollow chamber between them serves as a reaction chamber for the material. The inner magnetic parts are coated with a diamagnetic material (similar or superior to PTFE in friction and heat resistance) and a copper layer separates the immersion anchors from the magnetic assemblies.
