Description

The Circuits and Applications Working Group was assigned the task of surveying the range of potential applications for magnetic switch technology. By providing information to the workshop on typical sets of requirements for magnetic switch networks and identifying technical issues that need to be resolved in each topical area, it was intended that the group's work would assist specialists in materials and components in identifying important future research and development (R and D). The group felt that it was also important to identify areas where magnetic switches may not be useful and, therefore, serve to assist researchers in avoiding unproductive work. The applications studied were conventional lasers and radar, ultra-high current applications (electromagnetic launchers and EMP simulators), and induction accelerators
