Abstract

The author describes the construction of an explosion booster composed of a waveguide and a membrane. The booster is placed at the bottom of a blast hole and is initiated by detonation wave. Experimental underground tests of explosion boosters showed the qualitative ore blasting results, in particular, with fan-patterned blast hole drilling.
