ABSTRACT:
An electrical projectile detonator, particularly a base detonator or fuse which incorporates a piezoceramic cell as a current generator wherein it is possible to generate a voltage through the intermediary of the gas pressure of a pyrotechnic explosive charge. The piezoceramic cell is arranged in a tail-ended cup-like recess of the projectile base, or in a threaded base, so as to be positioned against an intermediate base element serving as an anvil and covered by a pressure plate, which by means of the gas pressure of the projectile impelling charge acting on a tail-ended closure disc or the like during the discharge of the projectile, can be pressed against the piezoceramic cell.
