Abstract

High explosives are useful material to generate great amount of energy in short time. Since controlling their releasing energy is hard, the use of explosive is limited to the breaking and crushing the tough structures and processing of bulk materials. However, the reduction of the explosive powder mass a shot and the pelets arranged at constant intervals make the handling safe, and that lead the new utility of the explosion. There are some difficulties to overcome when a small amount of explosive powder is used, such as the initiation regularity of explosives and the protection from gas damages. In this paper, the successive initiation of small explosive was tried by means of the wire explosion that is generated by the instant release of electric energy from capacitors, and the successful results were obtained under the controlled condition. The damages of surrounding devices were avoided with the initiating device which isolated the pressurized space from outside.
