    A detonator is a device used to trigger an explosive.

  3. Detonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detonator

    A detonator is a device used to make an explosive or explosive device explode. [1] Detonators come in a variety of types, depending on how they are initiated (chemically, mechanically, or electrically) and details of their inner working, which often involve several stages.

  4. Slapper detonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slapper_detonator

    (A) Slapper detonator's pellet or flyer impacts a wider area of surface on the explosive output charge, and even though energy is lost to the sides of the area impacted, a cone of explosive is efficiently compressed. (B) EBW detonators only initiate a single point, and energy is lost in all directions, making the energy transfer less efficient.

  5. Pyrotechnic initiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotechnic_initiator

    This mixture is used in the NASA Standard Initiator, [2] which is used to ignite various pyrotechnic systems, including the NASA standard detonator. [3] It yields rapid pressure rise, generates little gas, emits hot particles when ignited, is thermally stable, has long shelf life, and is stable under vacuum. It is sensitive to static electricity.

  6. NASA Standard Initiator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Standard_Initiator

    The NASA Standard Initiator (NSI) is a pyrotechnic device used to set off other pyrotechnic devices. It is the central multi-purpose component of a modular system of detonating cords , pyrotechnics and various other explosive charges with many different uses.

  7. Explosive booster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_booster

    An initiator such as a shock tube, cannon fuse, or even a conventional detonator does not deliver sufficient shock to detonate charges comprising TNT, Composition B, ANFO and many other high explosives. Therefore, some form of "booster" is required to amplify the energy released by the detonator so that the main charge will detonate.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding-bridgewire_detonator

    The exploding-bridgewire detonator (EBW, also known as exploding wire detonator) is a type of detonator used to initiate the detonation reaction in explosive materials, similar to a blasting cap because it is fired using an electric current. EBWs use a different physical mechanism than blasting caps, using more electricity delivered much more ...
