Research Program on Conversion of Explosive Energy
Abstract
The investigation of the effect of seeding explosives to enhance their electrical conductivity continued. Measurements of reaction zone resistivity using T-probes were made in both unseeded Comp B and in Comp B seeded wit 1% cesium perchlorate. Effort in the shaped charge collision work was directed toward obtaining a time resolved spectrum of the event by means of a direct-view prism in front of the streak camera. The mechanical protection of the capacitor bank has been the subject of some work. Test firings of portions of the bank have been performed to check that the explosive loading will not exceed the allowable limits of the structure.
