Acceleration of sub-kilogram mass to velocities of several km/s by magnetic forces requires a multi-megajoule source of energy. Constraints associated with the length of the accelerator and with the structural integrity of the accelerated mass, as well as with the problem of contact erosion, bracket the accelerating time and current to the millisecond and megampere regimes, respectively. Homopolar generators (HPGs) combined with appropriate switching can provide such output pulses more economically than other sources.
