Powder powered torch cuts with molten metal jet

Abstract: A simple, self-contained and non-explosive new jet-cutting torch can perforate steel plate up to 7.5 cm thick and is also capable of severing cable and chain. Successful underwater tests at depths in excess of 400 m point to useful applications in salvage and recovery as well as for emergency rescue and release.

Armor penetrating projectile

Abstract: An armor penetrator projectile is disclosed that has an elongated rod penetrator core. The core has a central bore therein extending from a rear portion to a front end portion of the core. The front end portion is preferably conically shaped for impact with an armor plate. A self igniting pyrotechnic material such as thermite is packed within the rear portion and in the bore. The thermite is ignited by the frictional heat and pressure generated during projectile impact with a target armor plate. The ignited thermite ejects a molten jet of material through the bore and forwardly out through the impacting front end thus further melting the armor plate about the point of impact and enhancing the behind armor destructive effects of the projectile.
