Parameter Analysis of a Single Stage Induction Mass Driver

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA638865 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The electromechanical behavior of a Single Stage Induction Mass Driver SSIMD has been modeled and analyzed with the aid of a computer. The analysis focused on the effects of circuit parameters on projectile velocity and system efficiency. A description of the model along with general rules for the design of efficient SSMID systems are presented.
