ABSTRACT:
The invention is a firing circuit for an exploding bridgewire explosive detonator which is activated only by application of an alternating current of a preselected frequency. The firing circuit comprises a bandpass filter, a voltage multiplier, and a discharge circuit.
The invention can be configured to selectively detonate a plurality of exploding bridgewire detonators by assembling a plurality of firing circuits for each exploding bridgewire, each firing circuit having a bandpass filter with a different preselected frequency.
