For some applications of magnetic flux compression generators, shorter pulse widths, with associated higher voltages and power levels, are required. We have developed a family of small, tapered stator generators that begin to address these requirements. Specifically, the three versions of these FCGs developed use stator angles of 10⁰, 12⁰, and 13⁰ with respect to the generator axis. These three respective angles resulted in increasingly larger phased closure velocities. The armature diameter is 2.54 cm, and the armature expansion ratio is about 2:1. The shortest dI/dt pulse, in terms of Full-Width-Half-Maximum (FWHM), produced is 398 ns in the current derivative. The peak value for dI/dt is about 3.5 × 10¹⁰ amps/sec.
