It is suited for delivering high-current pulses (kiloamperes) to low-impedance loads.
Both the shock wave directions parallel to the vector of magnetization (longitudinal) and perpendicular (transverse) are possible to be used.
One of the possible configurations is a ring magnet with the explosive charge in its center.
[3] EDFMGs are especially well suited as seed power sources for explosively pumped flux compression generators and can be used for charging capacitor banks.
A generator coupling an EDFMG containing an 8.75 cm3 of magnetic material with a spiral vector inversion generator yielded a pulse of amplitude over 40 kilovolts with a rise time of 6.2 nanoseconds.
