In addition, a conduction shell is mounted in the air gap between the stator and rotor, with a compensating coil mounted to it.
The switching system allows the AC voltage signal generated in the rotor to be tapped and directed into the load (rails and projectile) at the desired time and thus desired voltage initiating a current pulse and then disconnecting the load from the rotor circuit stopping the pulse.
The main difference between a compulsator and an alternator or generator is that the compulsator has an impedance compensation winding(s) that decreases the rise time of output pulses.
The compulsator is used like a capacitor, to gather energy from a low-power source and store it, then generate a high-power output for a short period.
Therefore, compulsators tend to have very light rotors that spin very fast in order to store the most energy in the available mass, and because too much mass in the rotor causes problems with the magnitude of centripetal force required to prevent the rotor from flying apart.
The compulsator would be used to power a railgun, and potentially other pulsed energy weapons (particularly electronic warfare systems); also, the compulsator could be used in non-pulsed mode to drive the tank with electric motors for limited periods as a kind of "quiet mode", which could be useful in urban combat.
