Abstract: An explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) tool has an inflated state and a deflated, collapsed state. In the inflated state, the EOD tool includes a central longitudinal axis and a radially outer portion. The radially outer portion contains an inflation composition. The radially outer portion includes an opening for admitting the inflation composition into the radially outer portion, an exterior wall and an interior wall that defines a through opening centered on the central longitudinal axis.

Abstract: Remotely opening a trunk of an automobile or other enclosure comprises an assembly configured to use an explosive force to explosively driven upward into the trunk of a vehicle forcing the trunk open. The opening is achieved without disturbing the contents of the trunk or creating excessive collateral damage. The assembly includes a steel flier plate positioned on a support structure that is propelled into an automobile trunk lid to cause the trunk to open. The steel flier plate is a flat, metal bar that has detonating cord affixed thereon. The steel flier plate is held by a support structure that is sufficient to position the blade in an appropriate location proximate to the trunk to be open. The support structure further includes a non-fragmenting backing board to tamp the explosive charge in the opposite direction of the horizontal blade.
