Abstract
Abstract A spiral line voltage pulse generator includes a double arm spiral structure about which is wound an elongated conductor. The double arm structure includes two conductive strips which are electrically insulated so as to hold a charge. Upon discharge, electromagnetic force is coupled to the elongated conductor which functions as a secondary winding increasing the voltage which would be generated by the double arm structure alone. The elongated conductor may, for example, be a continuation of one of the conductor strips or a wire solenoid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A voltage pulse generator comprised of: a first conductive strip; a second conductive strip electrically insulated from said first conductive strip; said first and second conductive strips coiled in a double arm spiral structure about an axis; an elongated conductor electrically common to one of said conductive strips, said elongated conductor wound with a plurality of turns about the periphery of said double arm spiral structure; means for charging said conductive strips to a voltage potential; and switching means for electrically connecting said conductive strip, thereby causing a voltage wave and a corresponding current wave to propagate along said conductive strips whereupon an enhanced voltage pulse appears on said elongated conductor; wherein said conductive strips have approximately equal lengths and said elongated conductor is a wire solenoid about the periphery of said double arm structure, one end of which is electrically connected to the end of one of said conductive strips.
