Scientific paper
The explosive formation of projectiles of controllable mass (up to 1 gram) moving forward on the order of 10 km/sec is shown to be accomplished by modifying a conventional lined hollow charge in such a way that the explosive is asymmetrically distributed. Measured projectile speeds and mass estimates agree with values predicted by the one-dimensional theory of Carleone and Chou (1974). Projectile velocity can be increased to 14 km/sec. Applications of the technique in cratering physics and planetary studies are discussed.
