System and Method for Harnessing Pressure Produced by a Detonation

摘要

A detonation wave pressure harnessing system includes a detonator tube that generates a detonation wave. The detonation wave produces a pressure in a coupling chamber that is substantially sealed when the detonation wave is generated. An interface between the coupling chamber and a target converts the pressure into a force that is applied to the target. The system includes an inflow valve assembly and an outflow valve assembly and a control system that controls the outflow valve assembly.

1. A detonation wave pressure harnessing system, comprising:
a detonator tube that generates a detonation wave; a coupling chamber, said coupling chamber being substantially sealed when said detonation wave is generated thereby containing a pressure produced by said detonation wave; an interface between said coupling chamber and a target, said interface converting said pressure into a force that is applied to said target; an inflow valve assembly; an outflow valve assembly; and a control system that controls the outflow valve assembly.
