Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A low-cost, reliable and easy to use kit for neutralizing surface exposed landmine and unexploded ordnance for humanitarian demining is based on a liquid fuel and a solid/soluble fuel. Both fuels are premeasured in separate, sealed containers. The addition of a small quantity of solid/soluble fuel into the liquid creates an explosive. The resulting mixture is capable of detonating with a standard No. 8 blasting cap. The solid/soluble fuel can be in the form of a powder, tablet, or its saturated solution in water. The solid/soluble fuel is hexamethylenetetramine. The liquid fuel, nitromethane, is provided in premeasured quantities. User is provided instructions for choosing the appropriate quantity of liquid fuel, the corresponding solid/soluble fuel required, the method of mixing, placement and detonation of the kits. Also disclosed is a simple wooden stand to hold the bottle of explosive in place. A special fuel, liquid 2-ethylhexylnitrate, is provided to desensitize the mixed and sensitized explosive.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A field mixable two-component liquid explosive kit, comprising: a range of 1-4 grams of non-explosive soluble component based on hexamethylenetetramine in a vial the size of 6 mL; and a range of 70-280 grams of a non-cap sensitive liquid component based on nitromethane in a plastic bottle having a sealable volume of either 2 oz., 4 oz., or 8 oz. appropriately chosen to adequately contain the liquid component and a subsequent component mixture, wherein said…
