**5.1.3 Potential applications**

Equation of state (EOS) measurement is an important potential application for our apparatus. In order to increase the loading pressure of this apparatus, two improvements should be done. Firstly, the flyer should be Mylar-metal foil laminate flyer . The metal layer increases the flyer' s shock impedance and thus the pressure produced in the target. Secondly, the storaged energy of apparatus should be increased. The expected pressure should be up to 200 GPa or more.

Impact experiment on the structure is also an important application for the apparatus of metallic foil electrically exploding driving high velocity flyer. For the apparatus of metallic foil electrically exploding driving high velocity flyer, its environment is well-controlled and instrumented, so it is suitable for studying impact phenomena in the fields of space science. Fig.27 shows a result of flyer of our apparatus impacting multi-layer structure.
