Abstract

Today the effectiveness of using of electromagnetic energy is a key issue in the creation and application of electrical devices. It is known that coaxial magneto plasma accelerator can be used to synthesize ultrafine powders of functional materials. The factors that influence on its efficiency are not studied enough. In this paper we demonstrate the possibility of achieving high (about 80%) efficiency of conversion of electromagnetic energy into the energy of combustion of high-current Z-pinch with using high-current pulsed accelerator with graphite electrodes.
