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. Types of detonators include non-electric and electric.
The M55 is lightly armored, 25 mm maximum, but sufficient to protect the crew from indirect artillery hits and small arms fire. The M53 has a 155mm gun, while the M55 uses the 203.2mm gun. [2] The M55 uses components of the M47 Patton tank, but the automotive aspects are reversed. The engine is mounted in the front and is driven through a front ...
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 ...
A detonator is a device used to trigger an explosive.
Setting off the NASA standard detonator, which itself activates other systems explosively. Triggering Pyrotechnic Circuit Interrupters, severing bundles of electrical cables. Triggering explosive valves to open/close pressurization lines or fuel lines. Triggering a pyrotechnic pin puller which opens a Marman clamp, separating two spacecraft.

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.
A squib generally consists of a small tube filled with an explosive substance, with a detonator running through the length of its core, similar to a stick of dynamite. Also similar to dynamite, the detonator can be a slow-burning fuse, or as is more common today, a wire connected to a remote electronic trigger. [3]
