Abstract:
1. A demolition charge system comprising: a container defining an internal chamber comprising side portions, a base portion, and a lid portion, wherein said base couples to one edge of said sides and said lid couples to an opposing edge of said sides; and a first elongated hollow tube extending within said internal chamber, said first elongated hollow tube having a tube wall coupled with and extending between two opposing said side portions of said container, said tube wall having a first portion having a first wall thickness and a second portion having a second wall thickness, the first wall thickness being greater than the second wall thickness, said first portion is adapted to withstand a lateral pressure or impact substantially perpendicular to said first portion; wherein said first elongated hollow tube is adapted to receive a detonating cord extending longitudinally within said first elongated tube, and said internal chamber of said container is adapted to receive a main charge such that said first elongated tube extends in proximity to said main charge for causing detonation of said main charge upon activation of said detonating cord, wherein said second wall thickness, width, and length being determined based on a minimum propagation of explosive force through said second portion from said detonating cord required to detonate said main charge, and material properties of said first elongated hollow tube which interfere with said explosive force; wherein said container and said first elongated tube is adapted to be substantially consumed in a detonation of said main charge.
