A Circuit for Firing 50 M6 Blasting Caps in Series
Abstract
In May 2016, engineers from the US Army Research Laboratory were tasked to design and build a circuit to detonate 50 M6 blasting caps wired in series as a functional or lot acceptance test. A constant-current circuit was built and tested successfully. This circuit replaced a previously designed capacitive discharge circuit and a commercial unit, both of which did not produce the correct test output.
