Your design must be possible with the very same initiator on the right and on the left...the important variable are:
-the inert material gap between the inital initiator and the secondary explosive (L)
-the secondary explosive (C)
-the initiating explosive (A and A')
-the inert material (B)
This gap must be defined by the gap sensitivity test of the secondary explosive (C) towards the initiator explosive (A).
Supposing that A can detonate C; it is the lenght (L) of inert material (B) at wich no more detonation of initiating stuff (A) allows inflamation,
explosion or detonation of secondary explosive (C).
So:
-the higher the sensitivity of C; the longer L must be.
-the higher the power (or the amount) of A, the longer L must be.
The charge C may deform under the first detonation...this deformation must push/hit/crush the second detonator (A') strongly enough to get it to
detonate.
If there is no gap between this second detonator (A') and C; then C will detonate. |
