  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Detonating cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detonating_cord

    As a transmission medium, it can act as a downline between the initiator (usually a trigger) and the blast area, and as a trunkline connecting several different explosive charges. As a timing mechanism, detonation cord detonates at a very reliable rate (about 6,000–7,000 m/s or 23,000–26,000 ft/s), enabling engineers to control the pattern ...

  6. 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.

  7. NASA standard detonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_standard_detonator

    The NASA Standard Detonator (NSD) is a device used by NASA for applications where a charge must be detonated, usually in conjunction with frangible nuts as a release mechanism. NSDs have been used since the Gemini program, and were used for the Space Shuttle program , including the Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) separation from the External Tank ...

    Reyna. Abilities: Leer, Dismiss, Devour. Ultimate: Empress. Reyna, perhaps, has the least utility to be an entry fragger out of all the Duelists. Leer is one of the slowest blinds in the game, and ...

  9. Shock tube detonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_tube_detonator

    A shock tube detonator is a non-electric explosive fuze or initiator in the form of small-diameter hollow plastic tubing used to transport an initiating signal to an explosive by means of a shock wave (also known as a percussive wave) traveling the length of the tube. [1] Shock tube is used to convey a detonation signal to a detonator. Shock ...
