TRS Technologies, Inc. proposes to develop volume efficient, fast discharge, high breakdown strength capacitors with stable dielectric properties for utilization in pulse power systems. The proposed ceramic capacitor will combine the best features of high energy density, low dielectric loss and high reliability. The capacitors developed on this program will have an energy density >0.6J/cc, low power dissipation (tan d

Benefit:
The proposed program will enable development of capacitors with high energy density and high application voltage for pulse power application. Successful development and commercialization of these capacitors will enable development of compact, light weighted pulsed power supplies for wide range of applications including military directed energy systems based on aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles.

TRS Technologies, Inc. in collaboration with Oregon State University and ARC Technology proposes to continue developing volume efficient, fast discharge, high breakdown strength capacitors with stable dielectric properties for utilization in pulse power systems. The proposed ceramic capacitor will combine the best features of high energy density, low dielectric loss and high reliability. The capacitors developed on this program are targeted to have an operation voltage of 8,000~80,000V with 5~154nF capacitance, and exhibiting discharge times much less than 10 ns. The high energy density dielectric material will enable this performance in a package size

Benefit:
The proposed program will enable development of capacitors with high energy density and high application voltage for pulse power application. Successful development and commercialization of these capacitors will enable development of compact, light weighted pulsed power supplies for wide range of applications including military directed energy systems based on aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles as well as Marx generators and Tesla coils.
