  • Description: <jats:p>Experimental and digital simulation studies of the generation of seed currents by an ultracompact (8.66–8.75 cm3 in volume) ferromagnetic explosive-driven generator of primary power (FMG) loaded on the coaxial single-turn seeding coil of a magnetocumulative generator (MCG) have been performed. The operation of the FMG is based on transverse shock wave demagnetization of Nd2Fe14B high-energy hard ferromagnets. The FMG is capable of producing in the coaxial seeding coil of MCG a seed current with peak amplitude I(t)max=3.0 kA and full width at half maximum of 60 μs. The methodology was developed for digital simulation of the seeding processes in the combined FMG/MCG system.</jats:p>
