High-energy scalable, pulse-power, multimode multifilar-wound inductor

Abstract

Embodiments for 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, and wherein 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.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
