【 摘 要 】

I analyzed the data from various detonators at different initial voltages to find the RLC values (resistance, inductance, capacitance) of the fireset. The data I was given contained a current and voltage for each time value taken on nanosecond intervals. From this, I was able to make plots of several variables to try and find which if any of variables correlated with a burst or a go. These results will allow us to fully understand what is required to achieve a burst in the bridgewire so that we can know what is safe or what will never cause detonation. We may also be able to predict the outcome of using the same fireset with different detonators or with different sizes or materials of bridgewire.
