Patent attributes
The shaped charge device consists of an outer casing that has a removable cap on one end and a sealing plate on the other as well as an interior liner; the liner defining a plurality of forwardly opening conical cavities. The shaped charge device uses a two-part binary explosive that consists of an inert fuel material and an inert powder material and thereby enjoys the legal freedoms of a binary explosive. The powder material is disposed in the space existing between the liner and the outer casing of the shaped charge device. The conical cavities serve to form and focus the resulting plasma jet when the shaped charge device is detonated. Without the fuel material added, the device can be stored for long periods of time. The cap removed and the fuel material added activates the device and an opening in the cap allows the device to be detonated.
