BLAST ATTENUATING, BLAST-DIRECTING AND EXTINGUISHING APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus by which to attenuate, direct or extinguish the resultant effec ts of a blast or explosion. This includes the use of a spherical interior skinn ed apparatus (1) with an inner container (2) that will deform and/or rupture easily in the event of a blast or explosion therein. Membrane (16) rupture will occur on compression of fluid (7) and air initially directing fluid/material and debris in a less harmful direction. The apparatus (1) can be a fixture, re-usable and portable for on site location. The apparatus (1) will be constructed based on the anticipated force of blast or explosion. Th e apparatus (1) will be re-usable in certain environments such as in the event of disposal of several blast or explosive items at different locations. The inner walls, which will form the inner container (2), can be replaced in the event of a blast or explosion. The containment fluid (7) and air to be added at location or each application.
