Abstract
Experimental apparatus used in this study was a conical metal block above which has a metal disk as a flyer plate. When the metal disk is accelerated by explosive settled above the disk, the disk collides to surface of the conical metal block. Since the disk collides with inclined angle, metal jets launched with high speed. Because the collision occurred simultaneously on a concentric circle, the metal jets fly to a center portion and converge from all of the directions, and collide at center axis. It is expected that flying velocity of the metal jets attains at an order of 1 TPa must be obtained at the center axis. In this paper, this novel system on the generation of the extremely high shock pressure is offered. Experimental results performed will be also reported.
