电热炮是指电热化学炮,其原理是利用高电压、大电流的短脉冲电流产生高温等离子体,使高能、轻质的非爆炸性物质燃烧产生高压电离气体把炮弹发射出去(见图)。炮弹的动能小部分(20％以下)由电能提供,大部分由化学能提供。与传统火炮相比,电热炮有如下特点:①炮弹初速大、出 Electrothermal gun is a thermoelectric gun, the principle is the use of high voltage, high current short pulse current to produce high temperature plasma, high energy, light non-explosive materials to produce high-pressure ionized gas fired shells (Figure). The small part of the kinetic energy of shells (less than 20%) is provided by electrical energy, most of which is provided by chemical energy. Compared with the traditional artillery, electric guns have the following characteristics: ① shells muzzle, out
