Abstract: Multipole field electromagnetic launcher (MFEL) is a novel electromagnetic launching technology. MFEL has the numerous adjustable parameters and flexible driving coil connection modes, which can significantly affect the efficiency of system. The formula of repulsion force on armature and waveform matching problem are analyzed based on the equivalent circuit model, and the influence of driving coil connection mode on emission efficiency under different voltages (capacitances) and multi-stage electromagnetic launch is studied by using the electromagnetic finite element method. The simulated results indicate that different voltages (capacitances) need to match with different driving coil connection modes in order to achieve greater emission efficiency. In the case of multi-stage sextupole field electromagnetic launch, the driving coil connection modes also should be changed with armature speed, which can realize waveform matching well and improve the emission efficiency with the slight change of capacitance.Key
