Detonation transfer apparatus for initiating detonation of an insensitive detonating cord utilizing an initiating compound, flyer and shock reflector

摘要: An improved detonation transfer apparatus is set forth. In one embodiment, it incorporates a transverse bulkhead having selected explosive materials on both sides thereof. The shaped into concave lens to focus the shock wave toward focal point so that of directs other materials, thereby triggering sufficient pressure for detonation. an alternate blasting cap transfers first secondary material which forms flyer; flyer travels across space, impacting with metal in turn through another form pellet. This has high impedance reflector plate it. approximately parallel reflection occurs at and further increases pressure, exceeding levels necessary detonation, transferred detonating cord.
