Detonation velocities, greater than that generated by high explosives (~10 4 m/s), can be achieved by using the gravitational technology recently discovered. This possibility leads to the conception of powerful shockwave weapons. Here, we show the design of a portable gravitational shockwave weapon, which can produce detonation velocities greater than 10 5 m/s, and detonation pressures greater than 10 10 N/m 2 . Key words: Modified theories of gravity, Detonation waves, Shockwaves, Nozzle flow. PACS: 04.50.Kd, 47.40.Rs, 47.40.-x, 47.60.Kz. 1. Introduction The most important single property of an explosive is the detonation velocity. It is the speed at which the detonation wave travels through the explosive. Typical detonation velocities in solid explosives often range beyond 3,000 m/s to 10,300 m/s [1 ]. At the front of the detonation zone, an energy pulse or “shockwave” is generated and transmitted to the adjacent region. The shockwave travels outward as a compression wave, moving at or near detonation velocity. When the intensity of the shockwave exceeds the compression strength of the materials they are destroyed. If the mass of the body is too large the wave energy is simply absorbed by the body [2 ]. The pressure produced in the explosion zone is called Detonation Pressure. It expresses the intensity of the generated shockwave. A high detonation pressure is necessary when blasting hard, dense bodies. Detonation pressures of high explosives are in the range from 10 6 N/m 2 to over 10 7 N/m 2 [3 ]. Here, we show the design of a portable shockwave weapon, which uses the Gravitational Shielding Effect (BR Patent Number: PI0805046-5, July 31, 2008) in order to produce detonations velocities greater than 100,000m/s, and detonation pressures greater than 10 10 N/m 2 . It is important to remember that an aluminum- nitrate truck bomb has a relatively low detonation velocity of 3,500 m/s (sound speed is 343.2m/s) * . High explosives such as * When a shockwave is created by high explosives it will always travel at high supersonic velocity from its point of origin. TNT has a detonation velocity of 6,900m/s; Military explosives used to destroy strong concrete and steel structures have a detonation velocity of 7,000 to 8,000 m/s [3 ]. 2. Theory The contemporary greatest challenge of the Theoretical Physics was to prove that, Gravity is a quantum phenomenon. The quantization of gravity showed that the gravitational mass m g and inertial mass m i are correlated by means of the following factor [4 ]: () 1 1 1 2 1 2 0 0 ⎪ ⎭ ⎪ ⎬ ⎫ ⎪ ⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎧ ⎥ ⎥ ⎦ ⎤ ⎢ ⎢ ⎣ ⎡ − ⎟ ⎟ ⎠ ⎞ ⎜ ⎜ ⎝ ⎛Δ + − = = c m p m m i i g χ where is the rest inertial mass of the particle and 0 i m p Δ is the variation in the particle’s kinetic momentum; is the speed of light. c When p Δ is produced by the absorption of a photon with wavelength λ , it is expressed by λ h p = Δ .
