  • Patent number: 9400768
    Abstract: Methods, systems, algorithms and signal processing devices for determining the dynamic variables of pressure, density, velocity and conductivity of a generated mass slug, known as the Treacle and formed in a shock discontinuity produced by explosive detonation, deflagration or nature, are provided herein. The parameter determination is based on the discovery of the existence of a Treacle formed in the reaction zone of a shock wave. This verbal noun describes the action of changing the kinetic energy (treacling) of a mass slug immersed and traveling through a magnetic field thereby generating a detectable Alfvén wave, which is measured and with an algorithm yields the Treacle dynamic variables. The information is further used to devise methods and systems that utilize the information to create shock shields and high power devices or any other electrically powered transmission disposed within an electrical load.

  • Publication number: 20120032526
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for dissipating kinetic energy from a shock wave are provided herein. In one embodiment, a method for dissipating kinetic energy from a shock wave may include: applying a magnetic flux across a shock wave disposed within a channel, wherein the channel includes substantially constant dimensions as the shock wave propagates through the channel; transforming kinetic energy from the shock wave to electrical energy; applying a high potential electrode to the electrical energy; applying a low potential electrode to the electrical energy; and coupling an electrical load conductively with the high potential electrode and the low potential electrode to dissipate the kinetic energy from the shock wave.

  • Patent number: 7720608
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to signal processing means for detecting and discriminating between geological layers encountered by kinetic energy subterranean vehicles in flight (terra-craft), using a raw signal representing deceleration of the terra-craft. The signal processing means uses autocorrelation and filtering to amplify the rate of deceleration, allowing the same to be compared to extensive data compiled for the US government regarding rates of deceleration in known materials, using various craft geometry. In this way, the unknown material encountered by the terra-craft can be identified by comparing the deceleration of the craft through a layer of material to the known data for the craft geometry. The signal processing means may further include a plurality of circuits to detect and annunciate varying layers in a media, and to track in real time the location of the projectile.
