ABSTRACT:
This disclosure concerns an explosive device, such as a mine, which comprises a flexible enclosure having a pair of separate chambers formed therein. Substantially non-explosive liquids, which when mixed form a liquid explosive material, are respectively disposed in the chambers in separated relation to each other. A closure member is initially disposed so as to block an opening which provides communication between the chambers. Upon removing a latch mechanism holding the closure member in place,the closure member is moved away from the opening to permit mixing of the non-explosive liquids, thereby forming the liquid explosive material and arming the explosive device. A pressure-responsive igniter mechanism is disposed within the enclosure so as to be subject to the pressure condition of the liquid explosive material. The application of pressure to the flexible enclosure causing an increased pressure condition of the liquid explosive material actuates the igniter mechanism to detonate the liquid explosive material.
