THE PROCEDURE OF PERSONNEL MINES CLEARING BY VOLUMETRIC EXPLOSION OF AIR AND GAS MIXTURE IN CLOSED SPACE, FORMED BY INTERNAL SPACE OF THE SELF-PROPELLED DEVICE AND THE MAINTAINED SURFACE

摘要

The procedure of clearing low-powered explosive devices is basedupon a detonation of the substance of explosive devices' and/ordestruction of explosive devices' control systems by a shock wave ofthe volumetric explosion of gas and air mixture in closed space of theunit moving on the minefield's surface. The cupola of shock wavegenerator and the surface being demined both form the displacementcapacity. The gas mixture is pumped into the cavity of shock wavegenerator from an external source as optimal decision it's anelectrolytic generator, which is designed by author and under-described.The compressed air is pumped from an external source. Theheight of levitation is determined depending on the proceduralrequirements of the detection and destruction of explosive devices.The movement in the required direction is controlled by the redirectionof the vector (vectors) of compressed air injection into the cupola and/or by the redirection of the vector (vectors) of compressed air effluxfrom the cupola. The cupola has multilayer structure, which ensuresshock wave concentration towards the working surface (the minefield'ssurface and dampens the spread of the shock wave and the damagingfactors inside the cupola. The volumetric explosion is produced by thedetonation of the gases mixture.Sketch_3: 1 - the blast resistant cupola; 2 -the rotary injector; 3 - theinjection ofair (by compressed air); 4 - the injected air; 5 - the area of overpressure; 6-additional devices and sensors; 7- control system and pipe manifold of air andthegas mixture.
