DEVICE INITIATING DETONATION OF LIQUID EXPLOSIVE SYSTEMS Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: blasting operations. SUBSTANCE: device initiating detonation of liquid explosive systems includes container 1 inside which initiation means is placed. It can be manufactured in the form of conductor 3 exploded electrically. For creation of cavitation which facilitated transition of liquid explosive system into detonation container is additionally inserted with one or several waveguides-cavitators 2 fabricated from material velocity of sound in which is greater than velocity of sound in liquid explosive system. Initiation means can be anchored on bottom of container where waveguides-cavitators 2 can be placed. They can be manufactured from aluminium or its alloys in the form of rods, plates or tubes. Container 1 may be provided with cover 7. EFFECT: enhanced safety and blasting efficiency. 7 cl, 2 dwg
