7 October 2026

Electromagnetic launchers use powerful electromagnetic fields to accelerate projectiles without relying on conventional chemical propellants.

While often associated with defense research, these technologies are also widely used in scientific and industrial applications, including:
• Hypervelocity impact testing
• Material characterization
• Electromagnetic forming
• Aerospace launch-assist research
• Plasma physics
• Pulsed-power experiments

At the heart of these systems are high-voltage capacitor chargers.

The energy required for each launch is first stored in capacitor banks before being released within microseconds, generating the high-current pulse needed to accelerate the projectile.

To ensure repeatable and reliable operation, capacitor chargers must provide:
• Precise charging voltage
• Fast recharge times
• High charging efficiency
• Excellent repeatability
• Comprehensive protection against electrical faults

With decades of experience in high-voltage power electronics, Technix develops capacitor chargers and regulated DC power supplies delivering 1kV to 300kV, with power ratings ranging from 300W to several hundred kilowatts.

Our solutions are designed for demanding pulsed-power applications where precision, reliability and flexibility are essential. They feature:
• Programmable voltage and current control
• High charging efficiency
• Excellent voltage regulation
• Analog and digital remote interfaces
• Custom configurations tailored to specific research and industrial requirements

From university laboratories to advanced industrial test facilities, Technix supports the development of next-generation pulsed-power technologies with reliable high-voltage solutions. ⚡
