The paper introduces the pulsed-power programme of research at Loughborough University of Technology (LUT), which began some 15 years ago with the production and measurement of blast waves from exploding wires. More recently LUT have assembled facilities and techniques, both in the laboratory and on firing ranges, for investigation into methods of conditioning and sharpening the output of a flux compressor (PC) and for paticipating in a collaborative investigation of propellant and explosively driven magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) devics. The various facilities and the FC conditioning techniques are described, their contributions to the MHD investigation are outlined and typical results are presented.
