Reluctance Accelerator Efficiency Optimization via Pulse Shaping

Reluctance accelerators are used to apply linear forces to ferromagnetic projectiles via solenoids. Efficiency increases for a single-stage reluctance accelerator were produced by manipulating the input current pulse supplied by a discharging capacitor. The development of a theoretical model allowed...
