Abstract
The present invention is to provide means to attain an improved current efficiency and a stabilized operation even when used to generate high-power magnetic pulses at shortened pulse intervals. The objective is attainable with an apparatus to generate magnetism, comprising a plurality of magnetism-generating circuits which are cascaded each other, each magnetism-generating circuit containing a coil member to generate magnetism and a capacitor to provisionally store the current across said coil member; and a conduction-controlling circuit which is to operate the magnetism-generating circuits in a prescribed order.
Claims6
An apparatus to generate magnetism, comprising (a) a plurality of cascaded magnetism-generating circuits, each of the magnetism-generating circuits further comprising:
- a series circuit including a coil member to generate a magnetic field, a capacitor to provisionally store the current through said coil member, and a first thyristor, said series circuit comprising a first main current path;
- and
- a second thyristor comprising a second main current path which is connected in parallel with said series circuit in such a manner that said first thyristor and said second thyristor are aligned with each other in a forward direction;
- (b) a conduction-controlling circuit comprising means to operate the magnetism-generating circuits in a prescribed order.
