Bursting charge

The description here particularly refers to the bursting charge of the chrysanthemum shell which are called Warimono in Japan. A different bursting charge is used for the other kind of shell called Poka which simply uses black powder grains. [Pg.207]

There are three requirements for the bursting charge of Warimono to break the shell into pieces, to ignite the stars and to project the stars with an uniform trajectory with the least curvature. Indeed the bursting charge is the motive power of the shell, and it is essential to concentrate our energy on this research just as much as on the stars. [Pg.207]

The bursting charge is, like a cannon, both the explosive of the shell and at the same time the propellant for the stars. It must produce an explosive force which can be adjusted by the strength(thickness) of the shell. This phenomenon is not detonation, but quick burning. A high explosive which detonates destroys the stars and is difficult to use as a bursting charge. [Pg.207]

There are several representative compositions for the bursting charge as follows [Pg.207]

Or a ratio of chlorate to hemp coal of 10 3 is also popular. After many sensitive tests it is known that this is quite unexpectedly insensitive to shock and friction perhaps a little more sensitive than black powder. [Pg.207]
