A new series of electromagnetically-driven shock generators called EDESS is being evaluated at the Naval Surface Weapons Center for generating explosive-like shocks. A prototype generator, EDESS-1, has been built and its performance has been evaluated using 1.0 and 2.0 metric ton payloads. Its shock output and overall performance are close to design expectations as predicted from computer-aided analysis of a simple electromechanical model. Presently, a larger generator, EDESS-2, is being built to extend the payload capability to 5.0 metric tons and a homopolar-driven generator, EDESS-3, is being contemplated for 15.0 metric ton payloads. This paper presents the electromagnetic shock-generation concept and reviews the progress made in developing these heavy payload shock generators.
