Abstract
Abstract A remote control circuit and apparatus for exploding explosives. Electric power generated at a resonance circuit when it is tuned to a control electromagnetic field is used to charge an ignition condenser. Provision is made for a control circuit including a controlled rectifier called a triac. The control circuit is adapted to generate a starting pulse at an instant when the control electromagnetic field is extinguished. The starting pulse serves to make the controlled rectifier conductive and hence discharge the ignition condenser through a detonator, thereby initiating it and exploding blasting explosives used to break rock and other solid material.
