Military and Commercial

Drs. Baird and Shkuratov receive the 2008 Army Achievement Award
Since 2004, a focus of our research in this area has been miniature devices for high-power microwave and electromagnetic pulse generation. Commercial applications of Loki’s explosive-driven pulsed power generators include the following:
- disposable X-ray sources for NDT and for imaging explosive tests
- starting engines in extremely cold weather
- oil and mineral exploration
- power generation for rescue systems in remote areas
- propulsion systems and electromagnetic launchers
- rapid charging of capacitors
- magnetized target fusion
- destruction of chemical and biological agents
- power for the initiation of other reactions (fusion, chemical, etc.)
- power for burst signal transmission and for vehicle disablement
Other applications will appear as the pulsed power devices become more visible to the commercial market.
