SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR INITIATION MECHANISM
First Claim
1. A simultaneous linear initiation mechanism, the simultaneous linear initiation mechanism comprising:
- a first layer, wherein the first layer;
includes a port, wherein the port;
passes through the first layer; and
is configured to receive a first high explosive; and
is composed of a first low sound speed material;
a second layer, wherein the second layer;
includes;
one or more traces, wherein the one or more traces include channels within the second layer configured to receive a second high explosive; and
two or more destination points, wherein the two or more destination points are the terminal ends of the one or more traces;
is composed of a second low sound speed material;
wherein a portion of each of the one or more traces in the second layer is adjacent the port in the first layer; and
one or more saddle blocks, wherein the one or more saddle blocks;
include;
one or more traces, wherein the one or more traces include channels within the saddle block configured to receive a third high explosive; and
multiple outlets, wherein the multiple outlets are configured to receive the third high explosive; and
are each;
configured to spread the detonation wave into a simultaneous shaped stimulation on the main high explosive surface; and
composed of a third low sound speed material;
wherein each destination point in the second layer is adjacent a portion of one of the one or more traces in the saddle block; and
wherein the multiple outlets are configured to be placed adjacent a main high explosive.

Abstract
A simultaneous linear initiation mechanism (SLIM). The SLIM includes a first layer. The first layer includes a port, where the port passes through the first layer and is configured to receive a first high explosive. The SLIM also includes a second layer. The second layer includes one or more traces, where the one or more traces include channels within the second layer configured to receive a second high explosive and two or more destination points, where the two or more destination points are the terminal ends of the one or more traces. The SLIM further includes one or more saddle blocks. The one or more saddle blocks include one or more traces, where the one or more traces include channels within the saddle block configured to receive a third high explosive and multiple outlets, where the multiple outlets are configured to receive the third high explosive.
