Abstract:
A system for positive transfer of detonation force between explosives mounted in explosive carriers, the system comprising:(a) first and second positive alignment inserts, each comprising:(i) an insert housing having a first and second end, the first end adapted to receive a segment of detonating cord, the second end adapted to transfer a detonation force; and(ii) an explosive, the explosive being imbedded along a portion of a length of the insert housing between the first and second end of the insert housing;(b) a first segment of detonating cord received into the first end of the housing of the first insert;(c) a second segment of detonating cord received into the first end of the housing of the second insert; and(d) first and second explosive carriers, each adapted to receiving a positive aligmnent insert and aligning the respective insert's second end so as to enable a positive transfer of detonating force from the first segment of detonating cord to the second segment of detonating cord.
