ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reacting on matter with shock waves which are directed through or against said matter. In one form, the shock waves are generated intermittently for an extended period of time, during which time the work is subjected to the high temperatures and pressures of the shock waves. Both chemical and physical changes may be effected in the material reacted on by the shock waves.
Where a plurality of shock waves are directed against the same matter to progressively change same, the apparatus includes means for amplifying the shock waves to increase the intensity of the individual waves and enhance or improve the reactive effects.
In another form of the invention, a plurality of shock waves are simultaneously generated in different zones of a reaction chamber and are directed into a reaction zone containing matter to be reacted upon by simultaneously subjecting said matter to the heat and pressure of each of the shock waves directed thereagainst.
