Abstract
A disrupter has a plastic box 1 with three semi-cylindrical plastic formers 2 each with a bag 4 containing water. Sheet explosive 13 is applied to the back of the formers. Bags 4 may be filed with materials other than water, for example decontaminent e.g. sodium hypochlorite. The formers may be replaced by a single former with three recesses.
Claims27
A device for generating a liquid jet, the device comprising
- an enclosure containing a plurality of formers, each defining a concave cavity partially enclosed by the former, each of the formers supporting an explosive charge, and
- a filler material adjacent the charge within the cavity, the filler material being a liquid, a gel or a non-metallic solid that will liquefy upon detonation of the device.
A device for generating a liquid jet, the device comprising
- an enclosure containing a former with a plurality of concave cavities each partially enclosed and supporting an explosive charge, and
- a filler material adjacent the charge within each cavity, the filler material being a liquid, a gel or a non-metallic solid that will liquefy upon detonation of the device.
A device for generating a liquid jet, the device comprising
- an enclosure containing at least one former defining a cavity partially enclosed by the former supporting an explosive charge and a filler material adjacent the charge within the cavity, wherein the filler material is a biological decontaminant.
A device for generating a liquid jet, the device comprising
- an enclosure containing a former with a plurality of cavities each partially enclosed and supporting an explosive charge, and
- a filler material within each cavity, the filler material being disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate adapted tol liquefy upon detonation of the device.
A device for generating a liquid jet, the device comprising
- an enclosure containing a plurality of formers, each defining a cavity partially enclosed by the former, each of the formers supporting an explosive charge, and
- a filler material within the cavity contained in a flexible bag, the filler material being a liquid, a gel or a non-metallic solid that will liquefy upon detonation of the device,
- the explosive charge, the former and the bag being placed within an outer enclosure, the explosive charge and its former being placed within a fold of the bag.
A device for generating a liquid jet, the device comprising
- an enclosure containing a plurality of formers, each defining a cavity partially enclosed by the former, each of the formers supporting an explosive charge,
- a filler material within the cavity contained in a flexible bag, the filler material being a liquid, a gel or a non-metallic solid that will liquefy upon detonation of the device, and
- an outer case within which are positioned the explosive charge, the former, the bag within the cavity and a second bag containing filler material positioned at the opposite side of the former to the cavity, within the outer enclosure.
A device for generating a liquid jet, the device comprising
- an enclosure containing a plurality of formers, each defining a cavity partially enclosed by the former, each of the formers supporting an explosive charge, and
- a filler material within the cavity and contained in a flexible bag, the filler material being a liquid, a gel or a non-metallic solid that will liquefy upon detonation of the device,
- the former being a semi-cylindrical former and the explosive charge being applied to one or both of the inner and outer surfaces of the bag.
