Research abstract

THIS OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AND BUILD A PROTOTYPE OF A DC TO DC VOLTAGE CONVERTER TO BE USED IN ELECTRONIC FOIL INITIATOR APPLICATIONS. THE DC TO DC CONVERTER WILL WORK AT 80% EFFICIENCY USING CURRENT MODE CHARGING. THE WORKING VOLTAGE WILL BE 2.5 KV WITH AN OVERALL POWER DENSITY OF 25 WATTS PER CUBIC INCH. THE DC TO DC REQUIRES AN DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTAL INPUT FOR CHARGING. THIS UNIT WOULD MEET THE 1316D SAFE REQUIREMENTS. THE KEY TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES OF THE SPECIFIC DESIGN IS THE DC TO DC CONVERTER WILL WITHSTAND HIGH G FORCES, WORK IN MIROGRAVITY, WITHSTAND FULL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND HAVE REDUCE MAGNOSTRICTIVE CHARACTERISTICS. DC TO DC CONVERTER DESIGN WILL BE SUITABLE FOR HIGH VOLUME, LOW COST PRODUCTION. MEGADYNE CORPORATION HAS ALREADY BUILT SEVERAL ADVANCED DC TO DC CONVERTER FOR THE ORDNANCE INDUSTRY. AS A CLASS E SWITCHING SUPPLY WITH DYNAMIC SAFE AND ARM INPUTS, THIS PROJECT PROVIDES A SAFE DC TO DC CONVERTER FOR ORDNANCE APPLICATIONS.
