Abstract
Embodiments of a multifilar inductor with at least three windings that are switchable, having a power assigned winding denoted as P1, a suppression assigned winding denoted as B, a containment assigned winding denoted as T, a switching apparatus to switch assignments between the P1, B and T windings; and a capacitor bank, wherein B suppresses the back EMF generated by a pulse power, T contains field emitted EMF generated by the pulse power. The input pulse power input is converted to a constant current output into the capacitor bank such that its time duration is extended by the combination of the inductor windings plus the capacitor bank to thereby minimize the peak inductance below the inductor's saturation point.
Claims7
A method of efficiently transforming energy using a multifilar inductor with at least three switchable windings, comprising:
- providing, as part of the inductor, a power assigned winding denoted as P1, a suppression component assigned winding denoted as B, and a containment component assigned winding denoted as T;
- switching, through a switching apparatus, assignments between the P1, B and T windings;
- suppressing, by the B winding, back Electromagnetic Force (EMF) generated by a pulse power generator and input to P1, wherein the T winding contains a field emitted EMF created by pulse power from the pulse power generator;
- and
- converting input pulse power to a constant current output into a capacitor bank coupled to the inductor.
