P2_3 Electric Armour
Abstract
The validity of using a highly charged capacitor as ‘electric armour’ on light tanks is investigated. The capacitor discharges a large amount of energy into the incoming projectile, causing it to vaporise. It is found that a potential difference of 1kV is required to charge the capacitor to the desirable electric potential energy to vaporise the projectile.
