Abstract
An improved system for coupling a generated overpressure wave to a target media includes a coupling chamber and an interface between the coupling chamber and a target media. Pressure produced in the coupling chamber by a generated overpressure wave is applied to the interface thereby converting the pressure in the coupling chamber into a force that produces a conducted acoustic wave in the target media.
Claims23
An overpressure wave generation system, comprising:
- a detonator;
- a coupling chamber;
- and
- an interface between said coupling chamber and a target media, said detonator causing a detonation that generates an overpressure wave that travels into said coupling chamber, said coupling chamber being substantially sealed when said overpressure wave is generated thereby containing a pressure produced by said overpressure wave, said interface converting said pressure into a force that produces a conducted acoustic wave in the target media.
