Abstract
Embodiments include a non-pyrotechnic detonation simulator. The simulator includes a substrate, a plurality of capacitors fixed with respect to the substrate, a voltage source, and a controller. The controller is electrically coupled to the capacitors and is adapted to selectively direct a burst voltage from the voltage source to one or more of the capacitors to cause the one or more of the plurality of capacitors to burst.

A detonation simulator, comprising:
- a housing having an interior volume;
- a substrate positioned in the housing, the substrate comprising a plurality of capacitors;
- a voltage source positioned in the housing;
- and
- a controller, each of the capacitors electrically coupled to the controller and not electrically coupled to any other capacitor, and the controller adapted to selectively direct a burst voltage from the voltage source to one or more of the plurality of capacitors to cause the one or more of the plurality of capacitors to burst.
