|
|
|
|||
|
|
AN INITIATOR WHICH WILL INITIATE COMMON MATERIAL TO PRODUCE DUST EXPLOSIONS CAN
|
|||
|
|
BE RAPIDLY AND EASLIY CONSTRUCTED. THIS TYPE OF CHARGE IS IDEAL FOR THE
|
|||
|
|
DESTRUCTION OF ENCLOSED AREAS SUCH AS ROOMS OR BUILDINGS.

|
|
|||
|
|
MATERIALS REQUIRED:

A FLAT CAN 3 IN. DIAMETER AND 1-1/2 IN. HIGH. A 6-1/2 OUNCE TUNA CAN SERVES THE
|
|||
|
|
PURPOSE QUITE WELL.
|

|
|||
|
|
FLOUR, GASOLINE AND POWDER, OR CHIPPED ALUMINUM
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE: PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES PRODUCE BETTER EXPLOSIONS THAN CAST EXPLOSIVES.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PROCEDURE:
|
|||
|
|
----------
|
|||
|
|
1) USING THE NAIL, PRESS A HOLE THROUGH THE SIDE OT THE TUNA CAN 3/8 TO 1/2
|
|||
|
|
INCH FROM THE BOTTOM. USING A ROTATING AND LEVER ACTION, ENLARGE THE HOLE
|
|||
|
|
UNTIL IT WILL ACCOMODATE THE BLASTING CAP.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) PLACE THE WOODEN ROD IN THE HOLE AND POSITION THE END OF THE ROD AT THE
|
|||
|
|
CENTER OF THE CAN.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3) PRESS EXPLOSIVE INTO THE CAN, BEING SURE TO SURROUND THE ROD, UINTIL IT IS
|
|||
|
|
3/4 IN. FROM TOP OF THE CAN. CAREFULLY REMOVE THE WOODEN ROD.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4) PLACE THE ALUMINUM METAL ON TOP OF THE EXPLOSIVE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5) JUST BEFORE USE, INSERT THE BLASTING CAP INTO THE CAVITY MADE BY THE ROD.
|
|||
|
|
THE INITIATOR IS NOW READY FOR USE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE: IF IT IS DESIRED TO CARRY THE INITIATOR SOME DISTANCE, CARDBOARD MAY BE PRESSED ON TOP OF THE ALUMINUM TO INSURE AGAINST LOSS OF MATERIAL.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
HOW TO USE:
|
|||
|
|
----------
|
|||
|
|
THIS PARTICULAR UNIT WORKS QUITE WELL TO INITIATE CHARGES OF FIVE POUNDS OF FLOUR, 1/2 GALLON OF GASOLINE OR TWO POUNDS OF FLAKE PAINTERS ALUMINUM. THE SOLID MATERIALS MAY MERELY BE CONTAINED IN SACKS OR CARDBOARD CARTONS. THE
|
|||
|
|
GASOLINE MAY BE PLACED IN PLATIC-COATED PAPER MILK CARTONS, PLASTIC, OR GLASS
|
|||
|
|
BOTTLES. THE CHARGES ARE PLACED DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE INITIATOR AND THE BLASTING CAP IS ACTUATED ELECTRICALLY OR BY FUSE DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF CAP EMPLOYED. THIS WILL DESTROY A 2,000 CUBIC FEET ENCLOSURE (BUILDING 10 X 20 X 10 FEET).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE: FOR LARGER ENCLOSURES, USE PROPORTIONATELY LARGER INITIATORS AND CHARGES.
