Prime power for a hypervelocity (1 g at 50 km/s) electromagnetic launcher will be supplied by a 60 MJ, 9 MA Balcones homopolar generator power supply. This power supply consists of six 10 MJ homopolar generators, which can be connected in various series/parallel configurations or sequentially discharged for pulse shaping. Intermediate energy storage consists of six 6.5 mu H room-temperature copper coaxial inductors, designed to operate at 1.5 MA and withstand 100 kV. Completing the system are six opening switches, six crowbar switches, a 1.0 m-diameter*40.0 m-long vacuum chamber and high-speed diagnostics. The system was designed to be a versatile, easily maintained laboratory system. This power supply provides a substantial capability and can be used to drive a variety of experiments, such as a large-bore tactical railgun being designed to launch a 2 kg projectile at 3 km/s.
