Abstract:
A firearms suppressor incorporates one or more thermal energy absorbing elements, or “thermal energy sponges”, fabricated from porous metal. These elements efficiently absorb heat from the propellant gas generated when the firearm is discharged, thus reducing its pressure and the blast noise it creates. The thermal energy absorbing elements are manufactured from porous metal, a material which, due to its high efficiency in absorbing thermal energy, provides a unique solution to designing smaller, lighter, modular, more efficient and less expensive to manufacture firearm suppressors. In addition, as a result of the relationship described in the Darcy-Forchheimer equation, these porous metal elements provide the suppressor with an intrinsic, self-regulating capability, thus allowing the suppressor's use with a variety of different cartridges and different calibers with little to no change to a baseline design.

Claim (Index 9):
The firearm suppressor of  claim 1 , wherein said one or more thermal energy absorbing elements incorporates porous metal manufactured from two or more different metals in the same individual element.
