Double-EAGLE is a new two-module pulsed power machine built by Physics International for the Defense Nuclear Agency. It was completed in November 1983 and is intended for use as a nuclear effects simulator. This 7-TW (power FWHM of 75 ns) machine delivers over 500 kJ into the final vacuum section. Double-EAGLE is a Marx-generator-driven machine used predominantly to drive imploding plasma loads. The electrical energy is transported from the two Marx generators along two triplate waterlines to a central circular vacuum region. The water-vacuum interface consists of two tube sections for each half of the triplate. The triplate vacuum transmission lines are combined to a biplate using a post-hole convolute at small diameters near the imploding plasma load. The efficiency of energy transport along the machine from the Marx generators to the tube, then through the post-hole convolute, and finally int the load will be discussed and compared with predictions presented at earlier conferences.
