Abstract
A method and device enable the linear separation of two elements attached to each other through two connecting surfaces which are conical in this example, of a first element and a second element respectively, using thermite placed on the other side of the wall of the outer element, facing a connecting arrangement placed between both connecting surfaces. An electrical triggering of the thermite causes a quick and local warming-up, at the connecting arrangement which, after melting, enables both elements to be separated.
