Exploding wires are used in many high-energy applications, such as initiating explosives. Previous work analyzing gold wire burst in detonator applications has shown burst current and action metrics to be …

Advancements in ILI technology are required to enable much smaller initiation systems with lower energy demands. This project will demonstrate ultra-low energy exploding foil initiator (u-LEEFI)...

Does anyone have a question or comment about the “Exploding Bomb” pictogram that you might soon see on some labels? Please be sure to sign-in on the training certification form.

In addition to the specific hazards identified by the exploding bomb pictogram, it is important to remember that the product may have other hazards, for example:

Exploding foil Dimension of the foil (length, width, thickness, shape, material) Shockwave impedance of the tamper Thickness and material of the flyer Length and width of the barrel

In order to promote the development of miniaturization, low-energy and integration of exploding foil initiator, its low-energy design, preparation and tests were studied.

Here we report on a series of tests that attempt to identify some of the principal factors afecting ignitions that might result after intended use of exploding target products. The most common ingredients of …
