ABSTRACT:
A shock wave generating apparatus is provided which includes a shock wave generating chamber and a rotatable carousel in which a plurality of microexplosive carrying members are removeably positioned. Each of the microexplosive carrying members are adapted to be pushed downwardly by a piston through a bore in the casing body and into a shock wave generating chamber. The microexplosive is detonated by heating a detonator adjacent to the explosive by virtue of electrical contact between the microexplosive carrying member and the piston, and activation of a microswitch. Alternately, the housing for the microexplosive carrying members can include a spring for forcing the members over the bore, with each member being forced downwardly by an piston to detonate an explosive charge.
