Electrophysical Properties of Detonation Products of Condensed Explosives

  • Chapter
Megagauss Physics and Technology

Abstract

Low-temperature, non-ideal plasma generated by detonation of condensed explosives is not studied enough. Meanwhile, it is necessary to have information about the electrophysical properties of plasma and ionization nature. Traditional use of explosives causes an interest for electric methods of detonation wave diagnostics. Electrical data are necessary also when using explosives for generation of electromagnetic energy. As our interest is connected mainly with development of explosive circuit-breakers, the investigation was concerned with the space distribution of electric conductivity behind the detonation front, with the voltampere characteristics of plasma at high currents and voltages, and also with dielectric strength of detonation products. Use of obtained data is illustrated in some examples.
