Capacitor Bank

An array of electrical capacitors used to store and rapidly discharge large amounts of energy for pulsed-powerpulsed-powertheta-pinch applications. In fusion research, capacitor banks power plasmatheta-pinchShiva Star coils, liner implosions, and capacitor bankplasma guns. The Shiva Star facility's capacitor bank stores up to 10 MJ at voltages exceeding 100 kV, discharging in 1–10 microseconds.
