Using digital communication between an electronic blasting device and
detonators, the technology delivers tangible value with benefits ranging from improved blasting efficiency to enhanced safety.
The
detonators are described as small discs, approximately 5cm (two inches) in diameter, with two lead strips either side.
The bombs planted, thus, had as many as three
detonators. The perpetrators believed that the three going off simultaneously would boost the bombs' potency.
The dependences of penetration rate of the mine imitator, displacement of the stud of the
detonator's cap towards capsule-detonator and penetration depth of the mine imitator into the soil on time obtained by the simulation using MATLAB 6 [5] and LS-DYNA [6] are shown in Figs.
But they are warning people that if they come across any of the the
detonators, they should avoid touching them.
March 13, 2004: Police make their first arrests, including a Moroccan-born man who sold the pre-paid cards used in the phone
detonators. Al Qaida in Europe claims responsibility for the bombings in a video found near a Madrid mosque.
Looking at the hardware specifically, there are three main components -*- the
detonator, the logger and the blaster.
This article focuses on the nonelectric delay
detonator, which has become the dominant type of
detonator in the commercial explosives market, replacing other products such as electric
detonators and safety fuse assemblies because it offers a higher degree of safety and greater ease of use.
New on the market is ICI's Excel shock-tube
detonator. A shock of compressed air activates the timing mechanism within the
detonator.
On Tuesday, after the arrest of a 38-year-old man suspected of critically injuring an officer during a shootout in Ypsonas, authorities were led to a remote location near Ayios Mamas where they found an Ak 47, 7.5 kilogrammes of Semtex, a
detonator, and a grenade
detonator.
As an extra benefit to the user, any delay can be assigned to any
detonator and the
detonators can be connected to the busline in any convenient order--not just in the firing order.
