TL;DR: In this article, a portable source for high-power electromagnetic pulses was developed by the Plasma and Pulsed Power Group, Loughborough University, U.K., in collaboration with the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a system that is able to produce nanosecond rise time pulses with voltage exceeding 500 kV, based on a pulsed resonant Tesla transformer, and requires also a pulse forming line, a fast spark-gap output switch, and an antenna.

TL;DR: The use of pulsed electric fields (PEFs) is a mature technology used in the industrial processing of food, for example, fruit juice as discussed by the authors, however, it is restricted to liquid (pumpable) food and involves metal electrodes in direct contact with the foodstuff - i.e. it is at present an inherently "invasive" technology.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel and non-invasive pulsed electric field (PEF) technology for use in the food processing industry is under development at both Loughborough University (UK) and the University of Pau (France).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a numerical modeling technique which allows the very accurate calculation of the resistance and inductance of the transformer, taking into account the magnetic diffusion process that gives rise to skin and proximity effects.
