ABSTRACT:
A bomb deactivator is formed in a self-contained unit that is able to deactivate a bomb by rendering it inert and then, in one embodiment of the invention, by cutting it into a plurality of pieces with a vertically adjustable band saw. The bomb deactivator includes a push shoe for pushing the bomb through a fingered aperture that securely grips the bomb. Moreover, a drill bit assembly is formed to be actually driven by a pneumatic source towards the secured bomb to push it against the fingered aperture to secure it firmly in place and to drill a hole therein while injecting fluid through a telescoping sleeve. The fluid is injected for a period of minutes according to fluid composition and/or according to length of the bomb. Thereafter, once the bomb is certain to have been rendered inert, in one embodiment of the invention, a band saw is used to cut the bomb into multiple pieces. A waste compartment is formed underneath the drilling and cutting mechanisms within the bomb deactivator to catch all fluid and debris produced during the process of rendering the bomb inert.
