Abstract
An explosive device composed of an auxiliary flux compression generator operating to produce a high intensity magnetic field to seed a primary flux compression generator The auxiliary flux compression generator has a first section with a magnetic field supplied by a cylindrical permanent magnet array, the first section is composed of a helical winding having a prescribed pattern configured to convert explosive energy into magnetic energy that will be used as seed magnetic field for the primary flux compression generator.
