Abstract
An apparatus and method for producing explosions, including a pressure-resistance container having a main explosion chamber introduced therein, further including a supply line for supplying a flowable explosible material, and a drain opening for the directed drainage of gas pressure caused by the ignition of the explosible material. The drain opening is closed directly by a closure means, preferably a plunger, which is pressed against the drain opening using a gas spring and held closed substantially up to the time of ignition. Before the actual main explosion, the closure means is moved by the igniting and the pressure force of an auxiliary explosion, thereby exposing the drain opening.
Claims16
A device for producing explosions, comprising:
- a pressure-proof container with a main explosion chamber which is introduced therein and with an auxiliary explosion chamber with an ignition device,
- at least one feed conduit for feeding a flowable, explosible material,
- a discharge opening for the directed discharge of the gas pressure produced by the ignition of the explosible material in the main explosion chamber,
- a closure means which closes the discharge opening and which, by way of the pressure force of an explosion in the auxiliary explosion chamber, releases the discharge opening, and
- a delay means between the main explosion chamber and the auxiliary explosion chamber, for the delayed ignition of a main explosion in the main explosion chamber.
A method for producing explosions, comprising the following steps:
- leading a closure means into a closure position of a discharge opening in a pressure-proof container;
- filling a main explosion chamber and an auxiliary explosion chamber in the pressure-proof container with a flowable, explosible material;
- igniting the flowable, explosible material in the main explosion chamber and by way of this, producing a pressure wave which escapes via the opened discharge opening,
- wherein
- before the ignition in the main explosion chamber, the flowable, explosible material in the auxiliary explosion chamber is made to explode, and that due to the pressure force of the auxiliary explosion, the closure means is moved in a manner such that at the point in time of the main explosion, the discharge opening is at least partly opened.
