Abstract
Compulsator selection issues are addressed, including two poles vs. four poles, shell vs. conventional rotors, relation between pulse shape and energy density, and would compensation. Electrothermal guns require a current profile which is quite different from that of their electromagnetic counterparts. A new method of obtaining this current pulse is discussed. This new variant also facilitates the self-motoring of the machine between bursts. This machine as applied to a 60 mm electrothermal chemical (ETC) gun is discussed
