Basically a circuit consisting of an amalgamation of a Marx circuit to
generate the high seed current and an inductor wrapped around an
explosively driven armature.

Some questions I had were:
1) How do I find out the precise time the current through the inductor
coil will be maximum, given real conditions (e.g. finite resistances,
inductance of the Marx circuit itself, eddy currents in armature...)?
Is this something best found out by experiment and a digital
oscilloscope?

2) Presumably, the optimal time for the armature to short out the
inductor coils is when the current within it is at a maximum.
Considering that explosives have a finite run up to detonation, how do
I calculate the best time to initiate the explosives?

3) The explosives used will probably be a cylindrical charge of TNT
with a length of ~10cm and a radius of ~2cm. Will there be any
problems initiating such a small explosive?

4) Do you have any suggestions on how the electromagnetic pulse can be
maximised, with a goal of destroying nearby unshielded electronics?

5) Can you suggest any other design optimisations?

I am willing to provide funds for quality advice if you can provide
evidence of your expertise.

I already have a bullet lodged in my left frontal lobe and a
compassionate lifetime NRA membership. Am I qualified?

Um, Somebody is gonna want to "know a bit about you for their
files."

If you have to ask those questions on Sci.electronics.design, there is
something very wrong with your needing to know.

I'm with Mr. Legris on this one.

None of their business. I have broken no law in the jurisdiction I am
in.

I want to hear all angles prior to investing time/money in testing.

You may want to look up on the notion of precrime and actus/mens rea.

You may want to do your own looking up or pay for the consultation you
are requesting, unless you are foolish enough to expect expertise for free.
So far you've got what you've paid for, and that is all you will get.
