Research abstract
This proposal is to demonstrate a new DC-DC converter that meets power density, power, life, thermal and cost goals for SEA sparkers. Phase I will include characterizing DC-DC performance in charging a capacitive load of a SEA sparker as well as with a stand-alone SEA sparker system. Test results will be used to design and estimate the cost of a DC-DC converter for use in a SEA sparker, leading to a design of a new SEA sparker and that incorporates the benefits of the more compact converter. In Phase II the new converter design will be built and tested and prototyped for manufacturing, and the new SEA sparker built and tested at sea in a new sparker for SEA.
