ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for containing the energy of a shock wave and a reaction pulse from an explosion used for tenderizing meat has an inner tank (50) for holding the meat and a watertight outer tank (100) within which the inner tank is held optionally immersed in water, and into which the inner tank can rebound downward from the force of the explosion. The outer tank includes an inner surface dissimilar in shape to the outer surface of the inner tank; this breaks up the initial shock wave. An air space at least partially surrounding the outer tank helps to contain the shock wave. The water, the inner tank, and outer tank act as an hydraulic damper or dash pot to cushion the force of the slower reaction pulse, which follows the shock pulse and pushes the inner tank downward.
