REVERSE VELOCITY JET TAMPER DISRUPTER ENHANCER
First Claim
1. A fluid jet enhancement adapter for use with a propellant driven disrupter, the adapter comprising:
- a first end configured for operable connection to a muzzle end of a propellant driven disrupter barrel by a connector that connects the adapter first end to the propellant driven disrupter barrel muzzle end;
a second end;
a longitudinal region extending between the first end and the second end;
wherein the longitudinal region has;
a longitudinal region inner surface that defines a longitudinal region lumen;
a longitudinal region outer surface opposably facing the longitudinal region inner surface;
a longitudinal region wall having a wall thickness that separates the longitudinal region inner surface from the longitudinal region outer surface;
the longitudinal region lumen having a first end inner diameter that is substantially equivalent to a muzzle inner diameter; and
wherein the longitudinal region wall forms a continuous surface that radially isolates the longitudinal region lumen from a surrounding environment.

Abstract
Provided herein are fluid jet enhancement adapters for use with a propellant driven disrupter. The adapter may comprise: a first end operably connected to a muzzle end of a propellant driven disrupter barrel and a second end, wherein a longitudinal region extends between the first end and the second end. The longitudinal region has: a longitudinal region inner surface that defines a longitudinal region lumen; a longitudinal region outer surface opposably facing the longitudinal region inner surface, with a longitudinal region wall having a wall thickness that separates the longitudinal region inner surface from the longitudinal region outer surface. The longitudinal region lumen has a first end inner diameter that is substantially equivalent to a muzzle inner diameter. The longitudinal region wall forms a continuous surface that radially isolates the longitudinal region lumen from a surrounding environment.

18. A fluid jet enhancement adapter for use with a propellant driven disrupter, the adapter comprising:
-
a first end operably connected to a muzzle end of a propellant driven disrupter barrel; a second end; a longitudinal region extending between the first end and the second end; wherein the longitudinal region has; a longitudinal region inner surface that defines a longitudinal region lumen; a longitudinal region outer surface opposably facing the longitudinal region inner surface; a longitudinal region wall having a wall thickness that separates the longitudinal region inner surface from the longitudinal region outer surface; the longitudinal region lumen having a first end inner diameter that is substantially equivalent to a muzzle inner diameter; wherein the longitudinal region wall forms a continuous surface that radially isolates the longitudinal region lumen from a surrounding environment; and a rammer having a diameter and a user-adjustable length to displace a desired amount of fluid from the disrupter barrel and to seat a fluid sealing plug at a distal end of a fluid projectile in the disrupter barrel.

19. A method of reducing a reverse jet velocity gradient in a fluid projectile ejected from a disrupter, the method comprising the steps of:
connecting a first end of a fluid jet enhancement adapter to a muzzle end of a barrel of the disrupter, wherein the adapter comprises; a second end; a longitudinal region extending between the first end and the second end;
wherein the longitudinal region has;a longitudinal region inner surface that defines a longitudinal region lumen; a longitudinal region outer surface opposite the longitudinal region inner surface; and a longitudinal region wall having a wall thickness that separates the longitudinal region inner surface from the longitudinal region outer surface; the longitudinal region lumen having a first end inner diameter that is substantially equivalent to a muzzle inner diameter; and wherein the longitudinal region wall forms a continuous surface that radially isolates the longitudinal region lumen from a surrounding environment; filling at least a portion of the barrel with a fluid projectile; propelling the fluid projectile out of the barrel, into the longitudinal region lumen and out of the longitudinal region second end in a direction toward a target; wherein the adapter reduces a projectile fluid velocity gradient in the longitudinal region lumen over the length of the fluid projectile. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
