APELC has some history with testing dielectric materials under high voltage conditions.  Generally, we’re always searching for better materials to use in our high voltage products that will [...]

APELC’s basis for a Marx Generator Design – Part 1 Using the doorknob-style capacitor. Too often, we find that our potential customers look at our website, then approach us with an [...]

The Day We Zapped a Drone—And Built a Product Line We take pulsed power seriously. But sometimes, engineering is about more than precision specs and MIL-STD compliance—sometimes, it’s about play. [...]

Sometimes change is good, and other times… not so much. One thing is certain though: time always seems to bring change. It just seems to take even more time — and a bit of hindsight — to really [...]

This blog provides an in-depth look at some of APELC’s single-pulse pulsed power systems. These systems are designed for applications requiring precisely controlled, non-repetitive [...]

In the realm of high-voltage pulsed power, the selection of core technology is critical. APELC’s specialization in Marx generators is not a matter of happenstance, but rather a result of [...]

APELC has recently observed a significant convergence between venture capital-funded fusion energy ventures and the established work of the Department of Energy (DOE). This evolving landscape [...]

Austin, TX (January 27, 2025) – APELC, a leading innovator in pulsed power and electromagnetic systems, adds Dr. Austin Hewitt and David M. Johns to its growing engineering team. These strategic [...]

Part 2: Taking Compact High-Power RF to the Next Level In Part 1 of this article, From Customer Request to Product Line, we discussed how a US Department of Defense customer requirement for a [...]

Part 1: From Customer Request to Product Line In 2006, a pressing need emerged within the US military: a portable, high-power RF system capable of testing vulnerabilities in electronic systems. [...]
