  • As the industrial technology is getting higher, the pulsed power technology is required from various fields such as thermonuclear fusion energy sources, military applications, electric power distribution, and a variety of new specialized needs. This technology deals with the generation of very high power electromagnetic pulses through fast switching. We fabricated a pulsed power generator, named EMD pulse generator, by using Marx circuit with 200 kV high, 50 ns fast rise time. In this paper, we described about an effect of stray capacitance of coaxial Marx generator, EPG-AM200k, and a comparing the results of experiments and circuit analysis.

  • This article attempts to deal with the problem that science and technology function as a mechanism to oppress and exploit humans rather than to release humans from labor. To explore this subject, it is necessary to consider the difference between the theory of labor value and the theory of 'technology value'. In addition, it is also important to refer to Marx's critical view of the 'capitalist' use of technology. Above all, Marx' concepts of relative surplus value and special surplus value, and his analysis of organic composition of capital are still valid in explaining that development of technology tightens control over workers and intensity of labor, and worsens instability of employment. Reflection of the limitations of capitalist development of technology is also important for realization of its usefulness. Industry 4.0 in Germany therefore deserves to be noticed as a good example because it shows a different way from extreme capitalist exploitation. The model suggests also some points that shouldn't be overlooked, when we try to actualize the tremendous slogan of the current fourth industrial revolution as real innovation and progress in human life. In this matter, the most important point is the possibility of technological development that doesn't oppose workers' interests.
