Abstract
A jet cutter apparatus and method for using a single bridge wire or a plurality of bridge wires to uniformly detonate a booster and thereby cause a uniform detonation of the explosives adjacent to the liners, thereby causing a uniform compression of the liners to form a uniform plasma jet that is substantially radially perpendicular to the jet cutter.
Claims14
A detonation wave shaper comprising:
- an explosive pellet a cylindrical shaped body and an inner hollow portion;
- a printed circuit board located within the inner hollow portion;
- a plurality of exploding bridge wire segments mounted onto the printed circuit board in at least one series, wherein the exploding bridge wire segments are contained within the explosive pellet and upon detonation creates a radial shock wave perpendicular to the printed circuit board and uniform along the length of the plurality of bridge wire segments.
A detonation wave shaper comprising:
- a substantially cylindrically shaped explosive pellet;
- and
- a plurality of exploding bridge wire segments mounted on a printed circuit board in a first series within the explosive pellet, wherein the bridge wire firing creates a substantially uniform shockwave in radial propagation and thickness, and
- wherein the exploding bridge wire segments are mounted on alternate sides of the printed circuit board from a first end of the printed circuit board to a second end of the printed circuit board.
