Abstract
A bullet projectile is described with an internal magnetic hammer providing electromagnetic induction upon impact.
Claims15
A bullet projectile comprising:
- a cylindrical hollow fuselage,
- a solid cylindrical internal hammer, and
- a nose cone,
- wherein said cylindrical hollow fuselage has an inner diameter (ID) an outer diameter (OD) and a length (LF), wherein one end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage is closed and the other end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage is open, wherein said closed end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage faces a back end of said bullet projectile and said open end of said fuselage faces a front end of said bullet projectile,
- wherein said solid cylindrical internal hammer is positioned inside said cylindrical hollow fuselage, the solid cylindrical hammer having a length (LH) less than the length (LF) and a diameter (D) which is between one mil and ten mils less than the inner diameter (ID), wherein said solid cylindrical internal hammer is free to slide back and forth within said cylindrical hollow fuselage, wherein said solid cylindrical internal hammer is comprised of a material with a permanent magnetic moment,
- wherein said nose cone is attached to the open end of said fuselage, wherein said nose cone has a base and said base which contacts the front open end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage, wherein a front end of said nose cone defines the front end of said bullet projectile,
- wherein a volume of internal space is defined between a front end of said solid cylindrical internal hammer and the base of said nose cone when said solid cylindrical internal hammer is positioned to be touching the closed end of said cylindrical hollow fuselage,
- wherein an explosive material is positioned within said volume of internal space,
- wherein said cylindrical hollow fuselage comprises solid walls having a wire forming a cylindrical coil positioned therein, wherein two ends of said wire terminate within said explosive material, and
- wherein said solid cylindrical internal hammer is forced to slide to the rear of said bullet when said bullet projectile is accelerated from rest from a launching device, and wherein said hammer is forced to slide towards the front of said bullet projectile when said bullet projectile strikes a target and undergoes deceleration, and wherein the sliding of said solid cylindrical internal magnetic hammer through the inside of said cylindrical coil causes a time changing magnetic flux through the coil resulting in a voltage between said two ends of wire, and
- wherein said voltage between said two ends of said wire which are embedded in said explosive material provides a spark discharge serving as a spark detonator to said explosive material, wherein said explosive material and said bullet projectile explodes upon impact with a target.
