instead of minute quantities of explosives one could use extremely fine wires suspended a small distance from the substrate to be destroyed. Feed a short(below 3 ms) high current pulse(figure a 400w/s photoflash supply) the wavefront from the exploding wire will be in the supersonic region. this method may be used in lieu of explosives to achieve the effect of a high order detonation. gee wonder if the atf will forbid us capacitors and wires now :) cheers
