Helical magneto-cumulative generators(MCGs) are devices which convert explosive energy into electromagnetic energy. The electromagnetic energy supplied from an external circuit is amplified by an explosively driven metal conductor mounted at the center of a helical coil compressing magnetic flux between the conductor and the coil. To optimize the coil design, output properties of small-size helical MCGs were measured while varying design parameters; the number of coil sections, length of the sections, pitch in the sections, and type of copper wire. Dimensions of the coil were kept constant, 50 mm in diameter and 200 mm in length. The coil was fabricated by using enamel-coated copper wire of 1 mm in diameter. The highest energy amplification ratio and figure of merit were 52.5 and 0.81, respectively. from an helical MCG with initial inductance of 63.7 $\mu$H at initial energy of 0.152 kJ Based on the experimental and calculated results, empirical formulas capable of optimizing coil designs were derived. By using these formulas, pitch in each coil section can be obtained at an arbitrary inductive load for high energy amplification ratio and figure of merit.

Directed energy weapon enables to radiate the concentrated energy so as to result in distraction and overload of the target electronics. Analysis on effectiveness of weapon system can be important consideration in order to determine performance and design weapon system. In this paper, air defense weapon system, which is one of directed energy weapon system is studied. In order to analyze the effectiveness, the reflector antenna with high power circularly polarized horn antenna is designed, and power density in axial effective area is simulated and calculated using Friis formula. Through the study, the validity of antenna system is verified, and the effectiveness of directed energy weapon system on the target is evaluated.

This paper presents an energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient 2-1-1 relaying scheme in which a sensor node(SN) assists two others in their data transmission to a clusterhead in WSNs(Wireless Sensor Networks) using LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy). We derive the closed-form BER expression of this scheme which is also a general BER one for the decode-and-forward cooperative protocol and prove that the proposed scheme performs the same as the conventional relaying scheme but obtains higher channel utilization efficiency. A variety of numerical results reveal the relaying can save the network energy up to 11 dB over single-hop transmission at BER of $10^{-3}$.

The joining processes of aluminum alloy tubes and polyurethane cores by electromagnetic impulsive compression are studied. The influences of various geometrical factors (the length of joined part, the thickness of tube, and the clearance between tube and core) and the process factors(the discharged energy and the number of discharge)are examined experimentally and discussed. And the magnetic pressure in metal/polymer joining is calculated and is compared to the pressure in metal/metal joining. The following results are obtained: (1) The joining strength is dependent upon the residual radial strain of the polyurethane cores. (2) The joining strength increases as discharged energy and the number of discharge increase, but decreases as the clearance, thickness and joining length of tube increases. (3) In the case of metal/polymer joining energy loss is increased and the value of magnetic pressure is less than that in the case of metal/metal joining.

The magnetic field distribution in saturable iron part of electromagnetic energy conversion divices is defined by the nonlinear quasi-Poisson enquation that is described the electromagnetic field characteristics and satisfied the natural boundary condition. The solution of this equation is obtained by minimizing an energy functional by means of trial function that defined in triangular subregion of two-dimensional field region. As a result, the accuracy of the machine design is increased by use of its solution. In this respect, this study is developed the basic theory to analyze the magnetic flux distribution in saturable iron part and air gap of induction motor that its secondary part is short circuit by the variational principle, the minimized theory of energy functional, the application of F.E.M., and treatment of computer. As theoritical data compared with the practics, the validity of the theory in this study is supported by experimental findings.

In this paper, a high-efficiency DC-AC converter is used for wireless energy transmission. The DC-AC convertter is implemented by combining the oscillator and power amplifier. Given that the conversion efficiency of a DC-AC converter is strongly affected by the efficiency of the power amplifier, a high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented using a class-E amplifier structure. Also, because of the low output power of the oscillator connected to the input stage of the power amplifier, a high-gain two-stage power amplifier using a drive amplifier is used to realize a high-output power DC-AC converter. The high-efficiency DC-AC converter is realized by connecting the oscillator to the input stage of the high-gain high-efficiency two-stage class-E power amplifier. The output power and the conversion efficiency of the DC-AC converter are 40.83 dBm and 87.32 %, respectively, at an operation frequency of 13.56 MHz.

Flywheel Energy Storage System(FESS) consists of a high speed flywheel with an integral motor/generator suspended on non contact bearings and in an evacuated housing. Permanent magnet machines as the FESS motor/generator are a popular choice, since there are no excitation losses which means substantial increase in the efficiency. In this paper, the structural design method of rotor retainer for a high speed motor/generator are presented.

In this paper, a new passive lossless snubber circuit with energy transfer capability is proposed. The proposed lossless snubber circuit provides Zero-Current Switching (ZCS) condition for turn-on instants and Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) condition for turn-off instants. In addition, its diodes operate under soft switching condition. Therefore, no significant switching losses occur in the converter. Since the energy of the snubber circuit is transferred to the output, there are no significant conduction losses. The proposed snubber circuit can be applied on isolated and non-isolated converters. To verify the operation of the snubber circuit, a boost converter using the proposed snubber is implemented at 70W. Also, the measured conducted Efficiency Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) of the proposed boost converter and conventional ones are presented which show the effects of proposed snubber on EMI reduction. The experimental results confirm the presented theoretical analysis.
