Description
Summary:	The achievement of accelerating macro-particles to high velocities has fundamental significance of research connected with solid state physics. A set of experimental data, obtained using 16 mm hypervelocity accelerator of macroparticles is presented. Compact polymer cylinders of 2-4 g were used as projectiles. As the result of the experiments the dependencies was obtained which characterize the accelerator's efficiency. Data is given on the electric discharge system's work in the range of the following parameters: pulse pressure-up to 700 MPa, pulse current-up to 1.5 MA, the velocity of the accelerated macro-particles-up to 7 km/s. On the basis of the presented data conclusions are drawn concerning the further approaches to the increase of efficiency of this method of acceleration and macro-particles velocity.
