ABSTRACT:
In the method of increasing the detonation energy in an electromagnetic fuze system of a low-acceleration projectile a detonator generator which is held in an inactive or rest position by an elastic force, is accelerated along a predetermined travel path in the rear portion of a housing at the onset of the firing acceleration. The detonator generator is accelerated such that the detonator generator impacts upon an impact body which is provided with a central bore. As a result, a reaction member of the detonator generator inactivates its mechanical safety device and is accelerated, thus providing the detonation energy. In the retarding phase the detonator generator is returned into its original position by means of the elastic force and thus is ready for detonation. In comparison to known methods and apparatus there can thus be dispensed with an external power supply, whereby safety is increased with respect to maintenance, tests and firing.
