Claims (16)

  1. Dispositif d'amorçage pour l'amorçage d'une charge explosive, qui comprend :
    un émetteur-récepteur pour la réception de signaux de commande sans fil ;
    un circuit de commande pour le traitement de signaux de commande sans fil reçus par l'émetteur-récepteur ; et
    une source de lumière qui est adaptée pour l'amorçage de la charge explosive et qui est activée par le circuit de commande,
    caractérisé en ce que
    le circuit de commande comprend un mécanisme de minutage pour permettre une commande précise d'activation de la source de lumière lorsqu'une commande de mise à feu est reçue par l'émetteur-récepteur,
    la source de lumière se décharge par l'intermédiaire d'une lentille de focalisation directement dans ou sur la charge explosive, et
    la charge explosive est un matériau explosif secondaire dosé avec un milieu caloporteur.
  2. Dispositif d'amorçage selon la revendication 1, dans lequel l'émetteur-récepteur a la capacité de réception de signaux de commande sans fil uniquement.
  3. Dispositif d'amorçage selon la revendication 1, dans lequel l'émetteur-récepteur a la capacité de communication bidirectionnelle.
  4. Dispositif d'amorçage selon la revendication 1, dans lequel le circuit de commande a une capacité fonctionnelle supplémentaire et est sensible à une variété de signaux de commande sans fil reçus par l'émetteur-récepteur.
  5. Dispositif d'amorçage selon la revendication 1, comprenant un émetteur-récepteur unique et une pluralité de circuits de commande et de sources de lumière associés.
  6. Dispositif d'amorçage selon la revendication 1, dans lequel le matériau explosif secondaire est choisi parmi les PETN, tétryle, RDX, HMX et pentolite.
  7. Dispositif d'amorçage selon la revendication 1, dans lequel le milieu caloporteur est choisi parmi le noir de carbone, des nanotubes de carbone, des nanodiamants et des colorants laser.
  8. Système d'explosion sans détonateur qui comprend :
    une charge explosive de travail ;
    une charge explosive confinée ; et
    un dispositif d'amorçage selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 7, dans lequel le dispositif d'amorçage est fourni pour délivrer de la lumière directement dans ou sur la charge explosive confinée et la charge explosive confinée est adaptée pour être amorcée par cette lumière et dans lequel l'amorçage de la charge explosive confinée cause l'amorçage de l'explosif de travail.
  9. Système d'explosion comprenant un dispositif d'amorçage selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 7 et un équipement de commande d'explosion qui est adapté pour transmettre des signaux de commande sans fil au dispositif.
  10. Procédé d'explosion utilisant un dispositif d'amorçage selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 7, ledit procédé comprenant la transmission d'un signal de commande sans fil de mise à feu au dispositif, la réception du signal de commande par l'émetteur-récepteur et le traitement du signal de commande par le circuit de commande, et l'activation de la source de lumière par le circuit de commande de façon à causer l'amorçage de la charge explosive.
  11. Procédé selon la revendication 10, dans lequel un signal de commande sans fil de mise à feu est envoyé à un réseau de dispositifs d'amorçage avec les dispositifs mettant en oeuvre ensuite une mise à feu indépendamment, conformément au temps de retard programmé dans le circuit de commande de dispositifs respectifs.
  12. Procédé selon la revendication 10, dans lequel un émetteur-récepteur unique reçoit le signal de commande sans fil et une pluralité de circuits de commande associés traite le signal de commande et active une pluralité de sources de lumière associées.
  13. Procédé selon la revendication 10, dans lequel l'émetteur-récepteur est physiquement positionné de sorte que des signaux de commande sans fil puissent être reçus directement en utilisant des systèmes et des protocoles de transmission de radiofréquence standard.
  14. Procédé selon la revendication 10, dans lequel l'émetteur-récepteur est positionné au-dessous du niveau du sol avec des signaux de commande sans fil étant transmis à travers le sol par l'intermédiaire de signaux à basse fréquence.
  15. Procédé selon la revendication 10, dans lequel un système aérien s'étend de l'émetteur-récepteur à un point auquel les signaux de commande sans fil peuvent être reçus.
  16. Procédé selon la revendication 10, dans lequel un réseau à basse puissance est formé dans lequel un ou plusieurs dispositifs d'amorçage agissent pour relayer un signal de commande sans fil vers un dispositif d'amorçage particulier, même si ce dispositif est hors plage ou autrement incapable de recevoir le signal de commande sans fil directement.
