A Flux Circuit Analysis for the Magnetic Transducer of a Fluidic Reed Generator

Abstract : A mathematical analysis is made of the magnetic circuit of a fluidic generator to be used in various fuzing applications. A method for obtaining the approximate power output of a prototype generator as a function of the relevant geometric parameters is developed, and sample calculations are made for some typical values of these parameters. In the present design the calculations show that both the vibrating reed and part of the magnet keeper are magnetically saturated under projected operating conditions with the result that only about 35% of the potential power output is actually realized.
