Large impulses of electrical power are required by various civil, industrial, and military applications; these include lasers, fusion power generators, radar systems, lightning simulators, pulse welders, and x-ray machines as well as many others. Providing thedesired electric pulses is a challenge as the common power generation methods cannot supply such rapidly spiking impulses (especially in systems isolated away from the electrical grid). In practice, the most common method for generating the pulses is to store electrical energy over a long period of time, and then release all of the stored energy in a very short period of time. The electrical storage used is usually specialist ceramic capacitors as most other types of capacitors and batteries will be damaged bylarge and rapidly transient voltages and currents.
