EXPLOSIVE DEVICE FOR HIGH-VELOCITY PROJECTION Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: ballistics. SUBSTANCE: explosive device includes main charge of explosive, plate for gas compression and chamber with outlet channel matching caliber of projected model. At least one strip of explosive is placed on to internal side surface of chamber under plate and in parallel to it. Buffer body in which capacity charge of explosive may be used is positioned in apex of chamber. Plate boosted up with the use of charge of explosive initiates explosive strip which leads to high-velocity ejection of plasma from zone of plate-chamber contact with further collapse along axis of chamber and formation of superhigh pressure used as piston for projected model. Buffer charge is meant for shut-off of cumulative sheet which is portent of main zone of plasma collapse. EFFECT: boosting of projected models with the use energy of gaseous products of explosion. 2 cl, 1 dwg
