Latest Patents
One of Eric Lau's latest patents focuses on systems and methods for igniting explosives. This invention provides a means for ignition through electric and/or electromagnetic discharge. In one embodiment, an electrostatic discharge is directionally propagated through air to conduct electric current to the explosive device. The electric current may ignite the explosive device via heat, triggering of ignition circuitry, induced electric current conduction to the explosive material, or direct electric conduction to the explosive material. Additionally, electromagnetic energy may be propagated to the device through a waveguide, potentially in the microwave region, to heat or induce electric current in the explosive device. The directionally propagated energy may be time-varying, and a system may be configured with a vehicle to distally position the energy to inhibit damage caused by the device.
