Method of separating light energy from shock wave energy including the pumping of a laser with an exploding wire

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF PARTING LIGHT ENERGY FROM SHOCK ENERGY CREATED IN THE ELECTRICAL EXPLOSION OF AN EXPLODABLE CONDUCTOR WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF ACCELERATING AN EXPLODABLE CONDUCTOR TO A VELOCITY IN EXCESS OF THE SHOCK ENERGY PRODUCED BY THE ELECTRICAL EXPLOSION OF SAID CONDUCTOR, OPTICALLY COUPLING THE SAID ACCELERATING CONDUCTOR WITH AN APERTURE AND CONCURRENTLY INDUCING THE ELECTRICAL EXPLOSION OF THE CONDUCTOR BY PASSING ELECTRICAL CURRENT THERETHROUGH, AND OPTICALLY UNCOUPLING THE SAID ACCELERATING CONDUCTOR FROM THE SAID APERTURE BY MOVING FROM THE FIELD THEREOF AT A VELOCITY IN EXCESS OF THE SAID SHOCK ENERGY, WHEREBY LIGHT ENERGY PRODUCED BY THE EXPLOSION OF THE CONDUCTOR PASSES THROUGH THE SAID APERTURE AND SHOCK ENERGY IS CARRIED AWAY FROM THE APERTURE WITH THE MOVING EXPLODED CONDUCTOR.

Claim 2

THE METHOD OF PARTING LIGHT ENERGY FROM SHOCK ENERGY CREATED IN THE ELECTRICAL EXPLOSION OF AN EXPLODABLE CONDUCTOR WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF ACCELERATING AN EXPLODABLE CONDUCTOR TO A VELOCITY IN EXCESS OF THE SHOCK ENERGY PRODUCED BY THE ELECTRICAL EXPLOSION OF SAID CONDUCTOR, OPTICALLY COUPLING THE SAID ACCELERATING CONDUCTOR WITH AN APERTURE AND CONCURRENTLY INDUCING THE ELECTRICAL EXPLOSION OF THE CONDUCTOR BY PASSING ELECTRICAL CURRENT THERETHROUGH, AND OPTICALLY UNCOUPLING THE SAID ACCELERATING CONDUCTOR FROM THE SAID APERTURE BY MOVING FROM THE FIELD THEREOF AT A VELOCITY IN EXCESS OF THE SAID SHOCK ENERGY, WHEREBY LIGHT ENERGY PRODUCED BY THE EXPLOSION OF THE CONDUCTOR PASSES THROUGH THE SAID APERTURE AND SHOCK ENERGY IS CARRIED AWAY FROM THE APERTURE WITH THE MOVING EXPLODED CONDUCTOR.
