Pyrotechnic Torch for Burning of the Plastic Mine Casings
Journal Title: Problemy Mechatroniki. Uzbrojenie, lotnictwo, inżynieria bezpieczeństwa - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Pyrotechnic torch designed and constructed in Division of High Energetic Materials, Warsaw University of Technology, was tested in these studies. It can be used to burning the plastic mine casings. This torch consisted of a cardboard – plaster casing in which a pyrotechnic charge was placed. The charge was composed of a termite and an oxygen-generating mass. The torch based on a modified termite mass burned in a few seconds the plastic plates with a thickness of 3 mm, even those that were placed under 5 cm sand layer. The best effect was achieved for the following mass composition: Fe2O3 (69%); Al (23%); Viton A (8%). Application of additional oxygen-generating charges allowed for more efficient burning of the plastic plate.
