  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. 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.

  5. Fuse (explosives) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(explosives)

    A smoke bomb with a lit fuse. In an explosive, pyrotechnic device, or military munition, a fuse (or fuze) is the part of the device that initiates function.In common usage, the word fuse is used indiscriminately.

  6. Explosive train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_train

    The explosive triggering sequence or the explosive train essentially consists of an 'initiator', an 'intermediary' and the 'high explosive'. For example, a match will not cause plastic explosive to explode, but it will light a fuse coupled with a blasting cap which will detonate a primary explosive that will shock a secondary high explosive and ...

  7. 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 ...

    In VALORANT, agents are classified into 4 types of roles; the Duelist, the Controller, the Initiator and the Sentinel, with each role allowing the player to adopt different kinds of playstyles to ...

  9. 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 ...
