Similar in some respects to an Exploding BridgeWire Detonator, the Exploding Foil Initiator uses a high electrical current to vaporize a foil and accelerate a dielectric flyer down a short barrel (typically about 0.2 mm long). The kinetic energy of the flyer is sufficient to initiate high density secondary explosives such as HNS directly. Invented in 1965 by John Stroud of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. [Pg.183]

Exploding bridgewire initiation of PETN was studied by Blackburn Reithel (Ref 9). They observed that transition to detonation is aided by fineness (actually increased specific surface) of the PETN particles... [Pg.494]

In mechanical details, the exploding bridgewire (EBW) detonator looks like any other simple electrically actuated or hot-wire initiator. The difference is that the explosive material loaded over the bridgewire cannot be ignited by the wire, even if the wire is heated to its melting temperature. [Pg.353]

Detonator or initiator that is initiated by capacitor discharge that explodes (rather than merely heats) the bridgewire. Cannot be initiated by any normal shock or electrical energy. [Pg.183]

The EBW detonator functions differently from the hot-wire initiators we have seen, in which the ignition material is brought to a critical temperature and then starts to bum. Instead, the EBW produces a shock wave by means of actually exploding the bridgewire and, in turn, initiating detonation directly by the impulse of the shock. [Pg.353]
