Book Description
This book is presented primarily to record the papers of the Conference on the Exploding Wire Phenomenon conducted by the Air Force Cambridge Research Center in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 2 and 3, 1959. A second and scarcely less important purpose of this book is to serve as a monograph on exploding wires. Nowhere in any language is there a book, or for that matter a section of a book, on electrical wire explosions. The growing interest in and import ance of the phenomenon was indicated by the very gratifying re sponse to the Confe: rence invitations. We hope this book, reaching an even larger audience, will fill a gap in the literature as well as serve as a record of the Conference. A logical arrangement of the papers was extremely difficult to accomplish. On whatever basis they were classified, most papers could have been equally well placed in more than one category. This difficulty was solved by arranging them in three broad classes. If this book is to serve as a monograph, some gene: ral back ground in the exploding wire phenomenon (EWP) is needed. The Introduction was written to serve this purpose. It is, of course, impossible to thank all those without whose help the Conference and this book would not have been possible.

Investigations of the Exploding Wire Process as a Source for High Temperature Studies
Author: Esther C. Cassidy
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Exploding wire phenomena
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Numerous experiments with electrically exploded wires are described.The results include time-resolved measurements of electrical energy, power, voltage, and current during * the discharge; periodic still and high-speed photographs of the entire explosion process; integrated and time-resolved measurements of the intensity and spectral distribution of the radiation emitted; and time-resolved absorption spectra from the products of the discharge, with emphasis on observations of the spectrum of the AlO molecule.The apparatus, instrumentation, and fast-measurement techniques developed in order to permit these direct experimental observations and measurements, under the extreme and transient conditions of the explosive discharge, are also described.Results from calculations of the composition, entropy, enthalpy, and density of the explosion mixture are given.(Author).

Chain of Arcs as a Determining Factor in Explosion of Wires
Author: Jan Nasilowski
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electric arc
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
The report presents an idea for the uniform description of phenomena associated with electrical explosion of wires and electric fuses, based upon the fact of disintegration of wires into parts with definite spacing. In particular, observations concerned with pre-arcing energy, cutoff currents, peak voltages, and current pause are explained.

The Electrical Behavior of Exploding Wires
Author: T. J. Tucker
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Exploding wire phenomena
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
A survey of the electrical behavior of various metals exploded by a cable discharge system at a current density of approximately 4 x 107 amp/cm2 is described. Resistance versus inertia and resistance versus energy curves are presented for 17 pure metals and a number of alloys. The electrical behavior of gold alloys as a function of the percentage composition is discussed.
