Hollow charge - with focused detonation wave direction by annular initiation

摘要

A hollow charge has a conical lining (4), an inert element (12) for steering the detonation wave, a plate-shaped transfer charge (6) and a detonator (7) to initiate the latter, preferably by a hemispherical transfer charge (16) producing an annular initiation. The main charge (3) carries the conical lining. ADVANTAGE - This raises the "sting velocity" of the hollow charge. The resulting high-pressure zone (20) acts in the direction of the arrows (21) like a funnel to focus the detonation wave (19') on one point (22), forming a MACH stem (23).
