"Multiple very thin flexible hollow tubes (1 mm ID? teflon?) filled with a
homogenous liquid
explosive (for example, pure nitromethane), length accurately cut to produce
the exactly desired delay. Kept separated from each other by foam spacers
to avoid inter-fiber detonations. Detonated from a single cap, with an
intermediary chamber of liquid explosive to stabilize the shock front, the
detonation wave travels along each tube simultaneously at (presumably)
identical velocity."
It's a race, designed so that the detonation waves reach their targets (the
foci) at
the same time. If the detonation velocity was, say, 5,000 meters per
second, an accuracy of 0.5 millimeter in length would produce a delay accuracy
of 100 nanoseconds.
Whatcha think?
Now where did I put that pit... <G>
