EXPLOSIVE ANCHOR RELEASE DEVICES
Abstract
Electrically ignited squibs and cast sections of epoxy resin were used to construct an anchor release which is compact in size, easy to detonate, and will work reliably under very high external pressures. Two distinct types were under investigation. One utilizes the force exerted by the squib to drive a piston against the resin section to effect release, while the other has the explosive cast directly into the resin. The latter, an exposed, shattering device, is not as desirable as the piston type; however, both have distinct advantages. (Author)
