Thanks JoeTank.
You are correct in the form of this "Reactor Vessel" as being cannon like. The difference is that the cartridge contains a self stemming feature which is designed to contain most of the energy within the "vessel" upon initiation This is important to maximize the efficiency of...
Thanks for your response "meteng"".
Our problem with breaking rocks to test designs is that we have only a subjective sence of the effects of our cartridges on a given rock. Since no 2 rocks require the same energy to break we have no accurate way of comparing differences between cartridge...
We need to build an open ended CS reactor vessel to test a new rock breaking cartridge we have designed. The vessel is to simulate a 1/2" dia by 12" deep hole drilled in a rock. Since rocks are far from uniform we believe this approach will allow us to get a sense of the pressure develobed...
