    • Application of Homopolar Pulsed Power to Metals Joining 
      Keith, R. E.; Aanstoos, T. A.; Weldon, W. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Homopolar generators (HPGs) presently being developed at the Center for Electromechanics are capable of delivering megampere pulses of electric current in a controllable manner. One application for these machines is as the ...
    • Billet Heating with the Homopolar Generator 
      Weldon, W. F.; Keith, R. E.; Weldon, J. M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      Forging billets are presently brought from room temperature to forging temperature using one of three heating methods - indirect heating in a furnace, either fuel-fired or electric; direct electric resistance heating; or ...
    • The Homopolar Generator as a Pulsed Industrial Power Supply 
      Weldon, J. M.; Weldon, W. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      Technological breakthroughs in recent years have allowed the homopolar generator to be developed to a point where it can now be considered a highly reliable industrial pulsed power supply. These power supplies are capable ...
    • The Homopolar Pulse Billet Heating Process 
      Keith, R. E.; Weldon, W. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      The use of homopolar generators operated in the pulse mode to heat forging billets offers several possible advantages over present heating methods. Because heating is uniform throughout the entire cross section, billets ...
