Explosive Techniques for High Altitude Metal Releases

Abstract

An experimental and analytical program to determine the effects of shock waves in porous iron is being undertaken. The overall goal is to cause sufficient vaporization such that dense clouds of Fe atoms can be generated. A large, high altitude test chamber and associated equipment have been instrumented for these tests. Initial results look promising.
