US12372341 - System and method for underwater shock generation

An underwater shock generation system and method uses an electrolysis generator supplied with an electrolytic liquid to generate an ignitable gas. A housing stores the ignitable gas and is adapted to be disposed in a water environment. An igniter is provided and is operable to ignite the ignitable gas stored in the housing to generate an explosion in the underwater environment. The housing is shaped to control a direction of propagation of the explosion in the water environment.

This patent describes a system for generating underwater explosions using an electrolysis generator that produces ignitable gas from an electrolytic liquid. The system includes a housing designed to store the gas and direct the explosion’s propagation in a water environment when ignited.

Claim 1

  1. A system, comprising: an electrolysis generator adapted to be supplied with an electrolytic liquid and operable to generate an ignitable gas using the electrolytic liquid; a housing storing the ignitable gas, said housing adapted to be disposed in a water environment; an igniter operable to ignite the ignitable gas stored in said housing to generate an explosion in the water environment; and said housing shaped to control a direction of propagation of the explosion in the water environment. an electrolysis generator adapted to be supplied with an electrolytic liquid and operable to generate an ignitable gas using the electrolytic liquid; a housing storing the ignitable gas, said housing adapted to be disposed in a water environment; an igniter operable to ignite the ignitable gas stored in said housing to generate an explosion in the water environment; and said housing shaped to control a direction of propagation of the explosion in the water environment.
