Abstract
A lightweight aerosol dispenser enclosing a first component of an explosive nature is filled at a factory. A second component is supplied in a smaller container, separate from the dispenser, containing a predetermined amount of propellant. By providing separate containers for each of the explosive and propellant components, both components retain their classification as a flammable substance for transportation and storage purposes. However, in the field, the propellant is injected into the solution container immediately before use. Only after the two substance components have been mixed can an explosive composition be produced. If, for any reason, the explosive composition comprising a foam is not used, it can be washed away with water or will dissipate itself within a few hours.
Claims9
A two-component hand-held delivery system for an explosive foam comprising:
- a first container holding a quantity of an explosive stock solution;
- a second container holding a pressurized propellant;
- means carried on each of said first and said second containers for selectively combining said propellant with said explosive stock solution;
- and
- said combining means includes a nozzle means mounted on said first container for dispensing said combined propellant and explosive foam at the time of use onto unexploded ordnance.
A hand-held delivery system for an explosive foam composition comprising the steps of:
- placing an explosive stock solution in a first container;
- placing a propellant in a second container;
- combining the propellant in the second container with the explosive stock solution in the first container at the site of ordnance;
- discharging the combined propellant and explosive stock solution from the first container as a foam directly onto the unexploded ordnance;
- and
- detonating the discharged resultant explosive foam to destroy the unexploded ordnance.
