EXPLOSION-TYPE ELECTRIC CURRENT RELEASE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: release has dielectric barrier, power supply electrodes connected through hollow destructible cylindrical current duct accommodating explosive charge to initiator. Destructible current duct is made as spiral with turns tightly fitted to each other and electrically interconnected. Hollow destructible current duct may be surrounded, in addition, with dispersive medium. Destructible current duct may be also made of spherical shape from spiral with turns tightly fitted to each other and electrically interconnected; initiator is placed in center. EFFECT: improved speed and reliability, reduced mass of explosive charge, enlarged functional capabilities. 3 cl, 3 dwg
